Think and Grow Rich (temporally & spiritually)...for Mormons

Although Christensen's "The Right to Riches" is, ostensibly, intended for the LDS audience ("This is a book written by a Mormon for a Mormon readership"), the principles and anectodes proffered are still accessible to the non-LDS reader (the context of the lesson may be lost on some, but the point of said lesson should still resonate). It is obvious that Christensen has achieved a level of personal, temporal, & spiritual success that is both impressive & inspiring. He seems to embrace a black-and-white perspective regarding success and failure --- if you want to pursue success and be successful, you either do or don't and are or aren't --- there is no try (is Yoda to thank for that characterization?). Nevertheless, Christensen advocates, among other things, uncompromising devotion to God, dreaming big, self-discipline, dogged determination, goal-setting, and -- above all -- belief in oneself. In sum, the book certainly contains an LDS bent, albeit the principles proffered, as well as the warm tone (in particular, the "note to my children"), give the book an inspiring and hopeful tone. Christensen has obviously achieved success and this book provides a general blueprint for emulating that success (while feeling good about it).
