How To Be Happy Though Rich: A Book Every Poor Person Should Read

By Peter J. Daniels

The world assumes the rich are happy, and that the poor would be too, if only they had money. Peter J. Daniels has been both, and he tells the truth about each.

He never passed a single grade at school and was still virtually illiterate at twenty-six, earning his living laying bricks. What followed was not luck. It was a method he built himself, and it took him from a building site to boardrooms on six continents.

In this classic volume, the book that launched the World Centre for Entrepreneurial Studies, Daniels examines what money can do, what it can never do, and how to hold wealth without being held by it. He writes with the candour of a man who has been penniless and has been wealthy, and who kept his soul through both.

Inside you will learn to:

Understand what money can and can never buyEscape the myths that keep people poor in spiritHandle wealth without being owned by itBuild riches that survive a balance sheetPass on more than an inheritance

For the wealthy it is a warning. For everyone else it is a map, drawn by someone who made the journey.

Dr Norman Vincent Peale called Peter J. Daniels "the best platform speaker in the world."
