INTRODUCTION:


"Everyone is born rich, sometimes we are a little short of cash"


-Bob Proctor



This book is so optimistic and motivating. You are filled with positivity throughout the whole book. It teaches you so much about your personality and attitude. YOU WERE BORN RICH is a must-read for those interested in self-development. He is so succinct at some places you won't realize he is being strict with our attitude about money. Being "Rich" is not about money alone but it is about being triumphant with every health, mind and money. It is also about having a clear vision for what you want to do with your precious life.
He provides us with principles and strategies to cope with our mental health issues. He even says in one of the principles that it is sometimes necessary to LET GO and LET GOD. It's always not smart to rant and regret all our decisions until and unless we learn from our mistakes. It's prudent if we move on with the lessons learned.


ANALYSIS:



This book taught me the foundation of everything I would need to understand to change my life. The Law of Attraction and Vibration. It still has a great impact on my daily routine. How to be a Risk Taker and how to make money your servant. I bet that anyone who properly applies the concepts and uses them regularly will change their life forever. 
This is a great book. It is full of powerful examples of successful entrepreneurs to teach, encourage and remind that we get out of life what we think about and what we focus on. There are a lot of great ideas in this book.

I re-read the chapters all the time at least two to three pages regularly. It not only relates to money but our inner emotional and mental strength. It goes beyond the conversation of money and prosperity and tackles our innate strength. 
There is a lot of success stories time after time again, of people who put in the efforts and capabilities and strength and were able to reap the rewards with their life after they read this book.

What's important is that we shouldn't ever skip the exercises you learn here. They are the key to changes that you will make in your life to get where you want to be. 


CRITICISM:



This book is highly and highly influenced by THINK AND GROW RICH BY NAPOLEON HILL. The very introductory part felt like the exact copy from the introductory part of the other. The story he depicted is exactly similar. The author is greatly under the influence of the author of THINK AND GROW RICH. He praises the author at quite a lot of intervals during the whole book.

I found this book grammatically weak. The sentences are way too lengthy interwoven between commas and semicolons. This makes the book monotonous and dull. He keeps on reiterating the same phrase over and over again. It makes the book too obvious. Even the examples he provides though being significantly important becomes trivial as he does not provide any supporting pieces of evidence.
He tries to make the novel as brief as possible where he omits some crucial principles. d

Apart from the book is predictable in the beginning, bittersweet in the middle and gorgeous towards the end.


MY CLOSING THOUGHTS:



I felt refreshed each time I read the book. It provides you with all the explicit and positive thoughts that will invigorate your daily routine. It is a recommended book to those who are foresighted to have a positive change in their lives and career. It is a must-read book if you have a strong zeal and enthusiasm to have a rich mindset and a positive and charismatic personality.


HAPPY READING💞
