The One Minute Millionaire; despite its title does not make you a millionaire in one minute. It will take you considerably longer to get through this book; or should I rather say two books. You see; the book is split in two; one side; the left; the authors share with you the 'enlightened' way to becoming a millionaire. And on the right; they tell the story of Michelle - a mum that has to find a way to make a million dollars in 90 days or never see her two children again.rnDespite it being a difficult format for me to read - the splitting of attention between two stories - I found this book enlightening. The premise upon which they build the search (to become enlightened millionaire); that of a mother standing to lose custody of her children; serves to show us what one is capable of if you do not accept any excuse into your life. It is like the young man that came to the philosopher Aristotle seeking wisdom; and Aristotle being the wise man that he is; took the young man to a stream and promptly dunked the man's head under water till he started struggling for breath. It is not until we want wisdom as badly as you need to breath; that we are willing to let it into our life and appreciate it for what it is. It is not until we are willing to fight and not accept any excuse whatsoever to reach that which we are fighting for. (See the philosopher's lesson.)
