This audiobook is packed with common sense, original insights into human change management, and practical advice about money matters.
Seven ordinary people, addicted to bitching about their struggles to make ends meet, and convinced that their lives will never be much more than sheer slogs, enroll in a personal-development course that changes their lives. A philosopher-cabbie, a cynical hard-nosed Englishwoman and her estranged husband, a middling salesman and his boss, a café manager, and a hairdresser find themselves at the mercy of a teacher who refuses to pamper them with the usual, empty get-rich prattle. Toney Fitzgerald stands in front of the class with a message: There's little poetry in making money, and there's even less in poverty. In one hand he holds the hammer of reality and, in the other, the gauntlet of defiance.
Mixing fiction, experience and teaching, he leads them through ruthless self-examination, preparing them to break through the bitch barrier to the richer world beyond. Eventually, they face the most serious choice of their lives: either they will make the one, unbreakable, lifelong promise that will radically change the directions of their lives, or they will remain forever in a state of self-induced helplessness. Not all make it.
