The "story"
format makes this an engaging read -- not your
typical "how-to" financial book. Turns an
otherwise onerous subject (planning and arranging one's
financial affairs) into an appealing and understandable
activity, using crystal clear, down-to-earth
explanations. Suitable for all, from the "I know
nothing's" to the financially "well-educated". Well
done Robert & Michael!
Mark W. Winter, Family Investment
Planning Inc
"Rich is a State of Mind is a well-rounded exegesis of proven financial
planning principles that, when applied, will get you a long way to
accomplishing your short-, medium- and long-term goals. What makes this book
particularly attractive is the way the authors have humanized the material."
Stephen Gadsden, MSN.ca
"While many chapters outline basic financial concepts, from risk management
to wills, a considerable amount of space is dedicated to work-life balance,
quality of life, and personal motivation issues. It’s these concepts that
set the book apart from others in this genre."
Kira Vermond, Advocis.ca
"This book teaches, not preaches, about the beauty of combining dreaming and planning.
It teaches about personal evolution, changing life circumstances and the practicality
of financial planning. In short, it teaches you how to not just plan your finances; it
teaches you to live your life."
Michelle Kowalchuck, HR.com
"This book will succeed in getting younger clients thinking about their financial goals
and what they must do to reach them. It also shows how families can have discussions about
money with their offspring in a conversational and non-threatening manner. This book would
be a must-read for your clients' children as a way to educate them about financial planning
and goal setting."
Deanne Gage, Advisor.ca
"If I can learn to understand compound interest, RRSPs, and seeing the parallels between financial
planning and a hockey game - another subject I know nothing about - almost any reader can. And probably
many potential readers should."
E.E. Cran, Saint John Telegraph-Journal
"An engaging and easy-going look at planning one’s financial future. It combines information, strategy, philosophy and a touch of soul. I highly recommend it."
David B. Posen, M.D. author of Always Change a Losing Game
"The most informative and easy to read financial book since the Wealthy Barber."
Ian Brown, President, Gallivan & Associates
"This has been a wonderful education … a must read for anyone who does not have a sound investment program."
Samy Chong CEO, Corporate Philosopher Inc.
