that equation reversed。 This chapter will help you realize there
is； in point of fact； no sin in great wealth。 On the contrary； it is
your duty to bee wealthy。
The second chapter； 〃How Much Is Enough；〃 will help
you take a careful inventory of your thoughts and your true
financial situation。 You will learn how to decide how much is
enough for you。 You will discover that you should have the
amount of money you need； to provide you with the things you
want； and to live in the style you choose。
When this decision has been made； you will be prepared
to march into chapter three； 〃The ImageMaker。〃 You will gain
the awareness that your entire life is governed by images。 It
necessarily follows； then； that you should be acutely aware of
the images you are building in your mind and you should also
be aware of the necessity of building these images which will
produce the results that will move you onward and upward；
toward your desired destination。 You will begin to understand
that you are； in truth； a cocreator。 Make certain that you
often review what your responsibility is； in your cocreative
partnership。
Chapter four； 〃Let Go And Let God；〃 helps you develop a
strong faith based on a deep understanding。 It will assist you
in freely letting go of your image； turning it over to the power
within you； so that the power itself can go to work and begin
to materialize in physical results； as an exact replica of your
mental image。
The next chapter； 〃Expect An Abundance；〃 will prove to
be a mindexpanding experience。 The word 〃expectation〃 will
take on a brand new meaning for you and you will witness the
awesome power invoked by this mindset。
〃The Law Of Vibration And Attraction；〃 clears up many
question marks that have been in our minds for years。 It
bees evident why some people keep attracting what they
do not want； while others attract exactly what they do want。
You will learn how to magize yourself to the good that you
desire。 〃The RiskTakers〃 chapter clearly explains that there is
absolutely no pensation for playing it safe。 It is essential
that you first step out； before you can begin to move toward
the destination you have chosen for yourself。
The real winners in life are； more often than not； only two
or three percent more effective than those who lose。 〃The
Razor's Edge〃 chapter clearly illustrates this point。 You will
quickly understand that you can be every bit as effective as
anyone you read about or even hear about。 Feelings of
inferiority； as well as any doubts you may be entertaining
relative to your capability； will quickly fall by the wayside and
be left far behind； as you near your destination。
As you e around the final turn on your road to
achievement； you will be cautioned not to look back。 The
〃Don't Think In Reverse〃 chapter will quickly clear up the
question of why some people keep getting the same results；
year after year。 This illustrates one of the most basic； and yet
one of the most important； rules governing success in life。
As we go racing down the home stretch； 〃The Vacuum
Law Of Prosperity〃 shows us how to open all of the doors； that
will enable the good that we seek to e to us from all sides。
This is not only a rewarding law； but a truly enjoyable one for
you to learn。 It will help pull all of the other ideas together； to
plete your picture and get you to your desired destination
safely and on schedule。
Before you begin； let me caution you once again； that
reading and memorizing will never 〃make it happen〃 for you。 It
is only understanding and application of the right ideas that
will produce the results you desire。 Think about each idea very
closely。 They are all simple and easy to understand； but you
must act on them。 Keep this book with you。 Continually review
it； and you will begin to see evidence of everything that is
explained in it in your material world。 This entire book has
been prepared with the sincere hope that you will enjoy every
step of your journey into a truly new way of living。

Me and Money
The Edgewater Beach Hotel
In 1923； at the Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chicago； eight
of the world's wealthiest financiers met。 These eight men
controlled more money than the United States' government at
that time。 They included：
The president of the largest independent steel
pany；
The president of the largest gas pany；
The greatest wheat speculator；
The president of the New York Stock Exchange；
A member of the President's cabi；
The greatest 〃bear〃 on Wall Street；
The head of the world's greatest monopoly；
The president of the Bank of International
Settlement。
Certainly； one would have to admit； that a group of the
world's most successful men was gathered in that place； at
least； men who had found the secret of 〃earning money。〃
Now let's see where these men were twentyfive years
later：
The president of the largest independent steel pany；
Charles Schwab； lived on borrowed money for five years before
he died bankrupt。
The president of North America's largest gas pany；
Howard Hopson； went insane。
The greatest wheat speculator； Arthur Cutton； died
abroad； insolvent。
The president of the New York Stock Exchange； Richard
Whitny； was sent to Sing Sing Penitentiary。
A member of the President's cabi； Albert Fall； was
pardoned from prison so he could die at home。
The greatest 〃bear〃 on Wall Street； Jesse Livermore； died
a suicide。
The head of the greatest monopoly； Ivar Krueger； killed
himself。
The president of the Bank of International Settlement；
Leon Fraser； also died a suicide。
Each of these men learned well the art of earning money；
but it would seem that not one of them had ever learned how
to live the 〃rich life〃； which was their birthright。
It is stories like this one that have caused many well
meaning； but ignorant people to say； 〃See； I told you it is not
good to have a lot of money； it's bad；〃 or； 〃It just goes to show
you that rich people really aren't happy；〃 but of course； that is
just not true。 For although these eight men would appear to
have 〃slid off the track；〃 there are many wealthy people who
are very happy； and who do a tremendous amount of good
with their money； they live healthy； wellbalanced lives。
Consider thismoney will have a greater influence on your
life than almost any other modity you can think of。
Indeed； the sudden loss or acquisition of money will affect
your attitude to a tremendous extent。 Therefore； you must
agree that everyone should have a deep understanding of
exactly what money is； and of the laws governing its
attraction。 Yet； the sad fact is that not one person in ten does。
Niyfive people out of a hundred settle for whatever they
get； wishing they had more all the way from the cradle to the
casket； never understanding that they could actually have had
all they wanted。
Let me digress for a momentas you journey through this
book； you might have a tendency to let your mind wander off；
either thinking about someone you know who has earned a
