Breakthrough October 3, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

Frank Hanna's book introducing readers to the mysteries of making and retaining money is easy-going in its language and arguments from the beginning. What permeates the whole book is this ease that comes from experience and a world-view that gives him relaxation with his own nature as a money-maker. Hanna knows how to gauge morally the dangers and achievements of "filthy lucre." With a trained legal and rhetorical mind, Hanna can perceive the differences in ideas and language that determine the boundaries of good and evil in that most ambiguous of human arenas, the market place. In this sense, the book is a breakthrough because it dares to encompass larger spheres as well as the most practical.

You'll discover a new way to understand your money September 19, 2008
22 out of 22 found this review helpful

This brilliant and challenging book is not a manual for how to make money. It's an examination of what money means for your life. I recognized the author Frank Hanna from a show called The Call of the Entrepreneur -- he is a venture capitalist who examines the role of money in our lives, whether we're wealthy or just getting by. Once we have money, what do we do with it, and why? He takes us through a series of steps, each with entertaining stories, to distinguish between what we really need and what is inessential. Although his approach is rigorous and intellectually modest - he doesn't paint with broad brush strokes - some of his conclusions are provocative. For example, he suggests that in most cases, the best gift we can give to our family and friends is not to leave them with too much money. He also suggests that even people with relatively little income should find ways to give money away, and that everyone, wealthy or not, should give away their money earlier rather than later in life, so that we still have time to assess how the money is being used, and so that people can begin benefiting right away from our gifts.br /br /I bought the book because I'm in my 40's, and these issues loom large in my life. I don't have much money, but I have more than many others and so have started asking what I'd like to do with my money. What kind of "legacy" do I want to leave? This book did more than offer me a few good ideas - it has helped me change the way I think about money and how it works, or at least how it can work. I can't give a full review of the book `til I've had some time to think about this new vision of money, but for now, it's challenged a lot of my assumptions (liberal and conservative) about what money is and how I can use it best.br /
