The Way of Mahalakshmi isn't your typical personal finance book. It's based on Vedic teachings from India on the Ashta Lakshmis (8 forms of wealth), not just earnings, savings, and investments. At first glance, one might think that a book on wealth building based on knowledge from a developing country would not be worth reading. However, historically, until it was colonized and exploited by Great Britain, India had been a wealthy nation. By the end of British rule in 1947, 70% of India's population was in abject poverty. Then in 1955, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi began teaching mantra meditation, a Vedic teaching presented in Chapter 1. Since then, India's poverty rate has steadily declined till it is now below 5%. Among all Asian Americans, Indian American are the highest earners and have the lowest poverty rate because they follow Lakshmi's 10 principles of abundance contained in this book.
