The visualization exercises actually worked. I wrote down my financial goal and reviewed it daily, and my behavior shifted to match it.

Old book but timeless. The emphasis on desire plus belief was powerful. I stopped waiting and started taking action on my financial goals.
Some of the mindset stuff felt a bit mystical for me, but the core ideas about clarity and persistence are solid.
The master mind principle of surrounding yourself with ambitious people resonated. I joined a group focused on financial goals after watching.
