Internal work (in the mind) is the key to success
I have just tried searching for this book (which I bought and read in 1990) on the UK Amazon site, with no success. What does that tell us about us Brits I wonder? Perhaps we don't value our creative talents enough? In my view, this is a book whose time has come, but do not be deceived by it. It reads amazingly easily and I came away with a feeling of empowerment. However, the key to producing results is still hard work, albeit on a pychological and psychic level. I have always dreamt of being a £ millionaire, but I have not yet achieved it. In fact, my reason for re-reading the book now is that I need to boost my income and achieve financial independence. I still believe I will succeed, and I believe that the Dyna/Psyc techniques described by Joe in this book are the key. The book is a tough training course in itself. It demands self-analysis, self-discipline and honesty, particularly in the section concerning self-image. I believe we owe Joe a great deal of gratitude, and if others are interested in joining me on my journey to wealth and financial independence through the applicaiton of these principles, I would love to hear from you.

Getting what you want
I read Joe Karbo's The Lazy man's way to riches whilst still living in New Zealand in 1983. Joe's philosophy impressed me a great deal and not long after that I left NZ for a new life in Australia. In 1984 I began implementing the strategies and techniques from Joes' book in my own life and met with a great deal of success. Since 1989 I have been working as a personal growth and development consultant with unemployed people throughout Australia, using many of these strategies, alongside those of Anthony Robbins, Norman Vincent Peale, Robert Kiyosaki, Steven Covey and Edward de Bono in my presentations and training. Over all the results have been amazing, and my heart bursts with love and pride when I witness the changes that occur in peoples lives when they take on and apply the things Joe Karbo wrote about.Joe's book became my bible and I lost count of the number of times I lent it out and/or had to tape it back together again because it was falling apart. Eventually in 1995 it disappeared and I have been searching for it ever since. So it is with much joy that I order a new copy from amazon.com. The primary reason for this is that in my life I have been blessed with meeting so many incredible people, one of whom was Robert Kiyosaki who wrote a wonderful book called, "If you want to be rich and happy don't go to school". I have been fortunate enough to have worked with Robert for short time on one of his sojourns to Australia and he gave me some advice which I have never forgotten. That is, that no matter how many times you may read, try, do or see something, there is always some new thing to learn or some new distinction to make. This has been so true in the work I have done using Joe Karbo's The lazy man's way to riches. Dyna /psych is simple and powerful and does make a difference if you apply it with persistence, discipline and determination. The rewards, both material and spiritual are immense. Life is beautiful. Thank you Joe.

Best and most unusual self-help book I've ever read!
I've read about 75 of the best known self-help books, and TheLazy Man's Way to Riches is the most unusual one, and it actuallyworks! If you want to actually accomplish things, get it - but get the ORIGINAL, 1973 edition, which AMAZON.COM has in paperback and hardcover. Avoid the re-issue or the "Roadmap" workbook, both written 13 years after Joe Karbo's death. They are loaded with extraneous writing that sometimes contradicts the original text within.


The Ten Most Troublesome Teen-Age Problems: And How to Solve Them

Well-Written but Degrading
"The Ten Most Troublesome Teenage Problems" is just another member of a recent cult of parenting and self-help books. This cult believes that all human joys and woes can be boiled down into categories, usually seven or ten. See "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective ________ " and "Ten Stupid Things Women do to Mess up their Lives".

I read the introduction thinking "Yeah, this guy has a point. We need to communicate with our teens and solve problems individually." Unfortunately the book then proceeds to portray adolescents as irresponsible, immature creatures who can be classified according to ten undesirable attitudes and behaviors.

When we learn to respect our teens the way they are instead of putting them in categories, they will have fewer "problems" with parents, peers, and society in general. And books like this will no longer sell.

Bauman and Riche are right on target
As two fifty-something grandparents suddenly having a very angry sixteen year old child-woman unexpectedly thrust into our home because she disowned her mother, Bauman and Riche describe her to a T. It is like they sat in the corner of our home and observed what was happening. There were times when my wife and I got some real chuckles as they described our turbulent, resentful, self-absorbed, uncommunicative, secretive, rude and seemingly lazy sixteen year-old. Even more amusing was the perfect description of our frustration, resentment, and sometimes helplessness we felt. The book was an enormous help in showing us what and why she was doing things, and how the old techniques we used with our kids won't work any more. They just make the problems worse. We are applying some of the suggestions and they are working. Slowly, (not as fast as some of the case histories they used in the book) and not perfectly, but they are working. We are actually seeing some glimpses of the bright, wonderful person she will eventually become. Certainly, not all teens have these problems, but our extremely intelligent sixteen year old has a majority of the ten the authors used as discussion points. I highly recommend this book to any parent who is seeing some strong rebellion emerge in their teenager. If nothing else, it will help you keep your sanity.
