Publisher's summary

"Thinking like a poor person will keep you poor. Thinking like a wealthy person will make you wealthy. I would like to show you exactly what the differences between the two ways of thinking are and how you can use them in your favour." (Douglas Kruger)

Being rich is not normal: most people never achieve wealth in their lifetime. The very word "rich" describes a state beyond the median, and therein lies an important lesson.

To become rich, you will have to think radically differently from the way most people around you think. Do you know what those specific differences may be? Business and wealth guru Douglas Kruger strips away the feel-good hype and gets right down to the practical principles. He leads you through the types of thinking that hold individuals, families, and businesses in generational cycles of poverty. He explores the dramatically different approaches of the self-made rich and super-rich, showing you which behaviours to begin practising and which behaviours are traitorous to your wealth potential.

Escape poverty. Raise your value. Change the trajectory of your story. It all begins with the way you think.

Douglas Kruger is a business strategist, author and global speaker. He helps organisations untangle the thinking that makes them industry dinosaurs and shows them where all the levers are for real-world innovation and growth. Douglas is also the author of Own Your Industry, Relentlessly Relevant, How to Make Your Point Without PowerPoint, and They're Your Rules, Break Them!, published by Penguin.

Most Pertinent Financial Book

I have read many great financial books. However, none spoke to me more personally and deeply like this majestic offering from Douglas Krueger. I guess it is because he connected at a very relatable and empathetic level. As he is a fellow African familiar with our unique problems and beliefs regarding wealth, I guess that's good enough reason why.

Excellent book!

Excellent book for entrepreneurs trying to establish themselves as true wealth builders in the economy. Excellent insight into the division of mindset and thinking of those who truly generate wealth and how to renew and align both your thinking and behavior to long lasting results.

This has changed my whole mindset around money

Douglas Kruger 'a book, Is Your Thinking Keeping You Poor should be read by EVERYONE. As a pathetically struggling and starving entrepreneur, I had no idea how much my mindset was holding me back. If you're deciding whether or not to get this book, it's worth whatever it might cost to get this information and implement it.

Every man on earth needs to hear this!

I read 2-300 books per year. Nothing has ever blown me away like this book. It has answered many of the questions that I’ve struggled to find answers to for many, many years. This should be required education for every man on earth!
