New Book "The Psychology of Wealth" Tops Bestseller Lists with Answers to the Big Questions

Online, January 30, 2012 (Newswire.com) - A new book is topping the bestseller charts in multiple categories. The Psychology of Wealth, by Dr. Charles Richards, has just been released by McGraw-Hill as a lead book for the New Year, and its immediate success probably has these very professional book publishers dancing in the hallways.

How do we get from here to there? That's what everyone wants to know. If we're poor, we want to be rich. If we're sad, we want happiness. If we are unsuccessful in any area of life, we want to know how to go about changing our life's course and get it moving in the right direction. Author Dr. Richards is pointing the way for all walks of life. Perhaps that's one reason this book has been hitting so many Top Ten Bestseller lists. Many people seem to want what this author is offering-a roadmap to success. It doesn't matter if you want fortune and fame, or a life of service to others-or better yet, both! In this new book, we come to understand what a rich and rewarding life is really all about, what a "wealth consciousness" is and how to achieve it, and how serving others and giving back can be a key to true success in life.

Donald Trump even offers an endorsement on the front cover. Perhaps that is part of the Midas touch this book seems to have, inspiring readers from the first page to the last!

"The Psychology of Wealth is a pertinent and comprehensive overview of the skills and mindset necessary for success. Prosperity can be achieved by anyone, and Dr. Richards shows the way."
-Donald J. Trump

About the Book:

Why do some people feel a perpetual state of lack and fear about money, while others feel genuinely prosperous, regardless of the size of their bank accounts? Why do some people shudder with dread when it comes to setting financial goals, while others embrace it with enthusiasm and confidence?

What makes the difference? Could it be in their relationship with money itself?

People who enjoy a healthy relationship with money share common habits and traits. So, how do they think, and what do they do differently? Are these behaviors hardwired in an individual's psyche, or can they be learned?

In this provocative book, psychotherapist Dr. Charles Richards provides unexpected and encouraging answers to these questions. Based on his research and expert interviews, Dr. Richards shows how each of us can develop a thriving relationship with money and create a rich and rewarding life.

At the book's heart are the stories of people who have faced adversity with courage and created extraordinary lives. Their accounts-along with Dr. Richards' interviews with finance professors, legislators, entrepreneurs, and mavens of success-pave a path to a brighter future for us all.

Today we live in a trying economic environment. Every day, popular financial advisors exhort us to hunker down, play it safe, and protect ourselves from an uncertain future. To the voices who promote fear and doubt, Dr. Richards answers with balance, wisdom, and optimism.

"What's in your head determines what's in your wallet. Dr. Richards gives you the mental hard-drive upgrade you need to finally achieve the greater prosperity and success you desire."
-Darren Hardy, Publisher, SUCCESS magazine
