Publisher Description

When Richard Paul Evans was twelve, his father, a building contractor, shattered both his legs. With no insurance, no income, and eight children, the family was destitute. At that difficult time young Evans was introduced to a kind multimillionaire who taught him the five secrets of wealth. Today, Evans credits those lessons not just with bringing him wealth and success but also bringing him freedom and opportunity in a world where financial slavery is ubiquitous.

In his signature motivational voice, Evans interweaves those influential lessons with personal stories from everyday people. He explains that money should not be the preoccupation of our lives. Rather, if we follow the five principles, we will be free to focus on God, family, and relationships -- the true nourishments of life.

Wise and compelling, The Five Lessons a Millionaire Taught Me About Life and Wealth will leave you with a new view of what it means to be rich -- and convinced that you, too, can build wealth. The Five Lessons a Millionaire Taught Me About Life and Wealth is endorsed by financial consultants, churches, schools, and marriage counselors.

"OK, yes this book is meant for women. My wife bought this book and we ended up reading it together. The principles he teaches are simple and things we can do. It has motivated us to make changes in our financial lives so that we can have the finances to do what we want to do in life."

— Josh (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • Jim Fogerty Professional, Sunset Country Club, St. Louis Most articles on golf deal only in theory, but Ben is to be congratulated on probably the most practical series on golf instruction ever written.

  • Timothy E. Sick Calgary After reading the first two articles, I had a 73 for the first time in my life, and hadn't played for six months before that.

  • Frank Sadler Professional, Bellingham Country Club, Bellingham, Washington It's the first time words and illustrations have made golfing technique absolutely clear. I'm applying the lessons to my teaching program here and highly recommending them to my pupils. I'd say it's the greatest instruction series of all time. Women are particularly keen on it. It'll make a lot of new golfers -- good golfers.

  • “Oliver Wendell Holmes taught, ‘I wound’t give a fig for the simplicity on this side of complexity, but I would give my right arm for the simplicity on the far side of complexity.’ These five lessons represent that simplicity with a larger sublime context.”

    — Dr. Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
  • “Richard Paul Evans not only teaches the prudent acquisition of wealth but the proper way to use it. I would as readily recommend this book to the young, cash-strapped newlywed couple as to the manager of a multibillion-dollar enterprise.”

    — Robert C. Gay, managing director, Bain Capital
  • “You , who are willing to put the Five Lessons into practise, will become wealthy. And in doing so, you will increase your powers of opportunity and your ability to be generous in a faltering world.”

    — Hyrum Smith, cofounder, Franklin Covey
