There seems to be quite a bit of traffic lately, “Who is Richard Paul Evans?” He is a successful author of a few self help books regarding the uber wealthy and has done it twice (the sequel is geared towards women).

The first book is called “Five Lessons a Multimillionaire Taught Me” and is about a family friend of his family who taught him how to become rich. Ugh, I hate that connotation that it is easy…lets rephrase that: He was taught how to manage money and the principles in which to make more of it successfully, leading to wealth. Ah, there thats better.

So are these books really any good? There are a few pros and cons that others have highlighted, and keep in mind that we have not read these yet and are looking at them objectively, just like you:

Pros
- Five lessons about wealth presented in an illustrative easy to understand way.
- Ethical: Not based on greed and is somewhat down to earth.
- Simple in practice.
- Even advanced financial gurus should learn something new.

Cons
- Seems to focus too much on money being a priority.
- Does not attribute any sort of luck to others gaining wealth, where there has to be some right?
- While it might not be a con, there is some sort of reference to Multi Level Marketing…take that as you will.
- Came across as a bit of a bait and switch.

Author Richard Paul Evans

So what about the sequel? The one geared towards women? Any good? Might be too soon to tell, but I would be curious as to what new revelations this author has created after realizing the success of the first one. Can anyone out there enlighten or recommend these books?
