The Wealthy Gardener: Lessons on Prosperity Between Father and Son Hardcover – February 25, 2020

Third time reading. Love the lessons! It always grounds me after reading… set it and forget it!

The Wealthy Gardener is a captivating blend of a story of a mentor and his several students, and real life wisdom to acquire wealth. It truly is the great harvest of a well planned and executed garden.

An amazing book filled with timeless lessons. I truly enjoyed how the story and life lessons intertwined. I will be buying a few copies to give away!

As soon as I finished the book, I was awed at the lessons that were taught throughout this book. Normally, it’s not even that easy to come up with one profound quote but this book contained too many of them!I plan to have my children read it to understand the invaluable life lessons. Yes, it has many great principles about money but also about the life in general!Highly recommended !

I have so many highlights in this book. You could darn near highlight the entire book. I have read it cover to cover twice and there is so much wisdom to soak up and learn. I make highlights to leave for my kids one day when they are grown so they can read many of the things that stood out to me. I can’t recommend this book enough. I also love the fictional story followed by the author’s real life circumstances. Short easy to read lessons make a book that never gets dull and makes you want to keep reading.

Overall, a quality read. That said, let me qualify my assessment.If you are the kind of reader that consumers a single book at a time, reading through them en masse, I don't think this is that kind of book. Its the kind of read that is best read a few chapters at a time. I started reading as I would any book but found that the information was best absorbed a little each day to maximize its impact and provide the introspection it deserves.Chapters is also a loose word as I feel the book is more a mass of subchapters than anything...only 4 - 6 pages each. However, each subchapter addresses a an aspect of life and wealth that is easily a full meal of thought.Without spoiling it for anyone, I would say that if you do not like parables or slightly cheesy stories to illustrate specific life principles, then you might not be able to get into this one. It did not bother me but it can get a bit redundant in terms of how introduces each subchapter with the main character (in the parable portion) pondering the specific life principle.Overall, it decently written and the author has gone to great lengths to provide meaningful and tangible examples of each and every principle. It is full of inspiring quotes, motivating comparisons and logical approaches to life and learning.

I've read a few personal finance books (Dave Ramsey, Suze Orman). They have some good information in them (if I could suggest one between those two authors, it would be Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover).Those books are more about finding and correcting the bad habits with money, which I feel is a necessary step. THIS book, however, only touches on that a little and more discusses the mental faculties, thought processes and habits that may help one actually get wealthy.This book was truly refreshing in a few ways. First, the combination of Fiction and Nonfiction was very easy to read and keeps you engaged. The over-abundant use of quotes, while perhaps a *tad* overdone, also seems to help relate the fact that many intelligent minds have reached similar conclusions about wealth and the other topics this book covers. Another thing I REALLY APPRECIATED about his book compared to pretty much every other personal finance book is that it doesn't try to sell you ANYTHING. NOT A SINGLE THING. Well, I guess you could say it's trying to sell you on the habits that will make your life better, but it isn't actually trying to part you of your money as so many in this category do (see note at the bottom).Overall, this book was EXCELLENT. I would say it was sheer coincidence that this book popped up in my life right when I needed it, but some prevailing ideas in this book may suggest otherwise (you'll know what I mean if you read it). I wasn't looking for another personal finance book. I was browsing in a place on the kindle store I NEVER browse. And somehow this book found me and I know my life will be drastically better for it.I've already gotten my wife to purchase it on Audiobook, and even got a friend to buy it on amazon and download the Audible app even though he's a Google Play user, and he's loving it so far.I can't recommend this book highly enough. To John Soforic - This book is a gem. From the bottom of my heart, I can't thank you enough. I know this book presented itself when I need it and will prove to be a pivotal changing point on my road to a better future for my family and I.One last note to those interested in this book: make no mistake - this is not a step by step guide to wealth generation with specific business models. If you do read a book like that, I'd be VERY skeptical of it and what it says. Most of the books that claim to give you a system to become wealthy are actually just a system to make their writers and publishers wealthy more than you yourself. "Results not typical" is a common bit of fine print. They're constantly trying to sell you on expensive, worthless training seminars, further books, etc. that say you'll get rich but really only actually succeed in relieving you of the little money you probably have. Dave Ramsey does this a bit, but it's not so skeevy like T. Harv Eker's sham of a training company. I haven't and won't give any of these people my money and I highly recommend you don't either.

This is absolutely one of the most thoughtful, practical, and engaging books I've read on wealth principles. The book was so nice I bought it twice and will continue to it's timeless wisdom with others.

I can’t believe this book does not get more attention. It’s the best book on financial mindset I have read so far. After the audiobook I got immediately the hardcover. The content is something that can really change your life. Highly recommend!

Very well written. I have learnt lots of life lessons from this book and would recommend it to anyone who is thinking of becoming financially free.

Belas lições de vida.Pouco sobre finanças.Mistura de O SEGREDO com independência financeira e bons costumes, interessantes para uma vida leve mas preza demasiadamente pelo trabalho ininterrupto.

El mejor libro que he leído en su categoría. Combina excelentemente una historia con consejos actuales aplicables a la vida diaria que SI funcionan y te ayudaran a crear un futuro mas prospero. Si leíste el Millonario Instantáneo de Mark Fisher, entonces este libro te encantará, este es un excelente refuerzo.

From someone who reads reads thinks and invests. This is a good book about roots and outlines. You should read it.......
