Why you should read The Laws of Money, The Lessons of Life

Amid the slew of personal finance books on the market, Suze Orman’s unique approach stands out. Although she has more than 20 years of financial experience and expertise, her books don’t merely dispense advice from on high. Her monetary rules may be universal and timeless, but she describes them with the sympathetic voice of a best friend. Written in the aftermath of the collapse of the Internet bubble, her latest advice book aims to comfort shell-shocked investors who are facing huge losses. Orman’s primary tactic is to remind readers that money is a means to an end, not an end in itself, and that decisions about money take place in a larger personal and spiritual context. To that end, a helpful workbook is included. getAbstract.com recommends this book to anyone who is wary of making financial decisions in today’s unsettling market environment, as well as to those looking to sort out their financial priorities.
