Title: A book of no substance
Review: Arnold Patent's Book is a typical simplistic 'new age' treatise.' It is very preachy and blame oriented i.e if your life is a mess then it is your fault, you created it. The cornerstone of his philosophy is 'Integrity' but is really moralistic. Although it is very wordy and repetitive there is very little substance to the book.Has sold well over the years because of its title which is the hook, the promise of a supremely abundant life, which is another way of expressing greed at any cost. This fits nicely in the long tradition of 'Get rich quick schemes' by selling 'How to get rich' books. There are no short cuts in life.
