The Automatic Millionaire : A Powerful One-Step Plan to Live and Finish Rich

ASIN: 0385661320
Release Date: 2007-01-09

Book Description

David Bach has a plan to help you live and finish rich—no matter where you start

So you feel like you’ve started late?

You are not alone.

What if I told you that right now as you flip through this book, 70% of the people in the store with you are living paycheck to paycheck?

What if I told you that the man browsing the aisle to your left owes more than $8,000 in credit card debt? And the woman on your right has less than $1,000 in savings?

See? You’re really not alone.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of people who’ve saved too little and borrowed too much will never catch up financially. Why? Because they don’t know how.

You can start late and finish rich—but you need a plan.

This book contains the plan. It’s inspiring, easy to follow, and is based on proven financial principles. Building a secure financial future for yourself isn’t something you can do overnight. It will take time and it will take work. But you can do it.

I know. I’ve helped millions of people get their financial lives together—and I can help you. Spend a few hours with me—and let me challenge you. Give me a chance to become your coach.

Just because you started late doesn’t mean you are doomed to an uncertain future. Whether you’re in your thirties, forties, fifties, or beyond, there is still time to turn things around. It’s never too late to live and finish rich. All it takes is the decision to start.

—David Bach

A Wanton Waste of Tree Lives.......2005-02-22

I ordered this book expecting something more than "don't buy coffee at Hortons' and bank it instead. This book lacked any sort of in depth financial advice; instead merely advocates spending less money. I followed that spending advice and promptly returned the book.

Best David Bach Book Yet!.......2005-01-27

I'm a big David Bach fan but this was by far his most helpful book yet. There are lots of helpful links on how to buy a house, where to start, and what you should do even if you don't have a lot of money for a down payment. There are also lots of suggestions for how to generate additional income that I had never thought of before. Definitely a "must read" for any age. Oh, and if you're not registered to David's newsletter, you should sign up at www.finishrich.com. It'll let you know when he may be coming to a town/city near you. I had an opportunity to meet him this week and he was truly motivational!

Book Description

During the Nuremberg trials, Dr. Leon Goldensohn–a psychiatrist for the U.S. Army–monitored the mental health of two dozen German leaders charged with carrying out genocide. These recorded conversations have gone largely unexamined for more than fifty years, until Robert Gellately–one of the premier historians of Nazi Germany–made them available to the public in this remarkable collection.

Here are interviews with the likes of Hans Frank, Hermann Goering, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, and Joachim von Ribbentrop–the highest ranking Nazi officials in the Nuremberg jails. Here too are interviews with lesser-known officials essential to the inner workings of the Third Reich. Candid and often shockingly truthful, The Nuremberg Interviews is a profound addition to our understanding of the Nazi mind and mission.

Worthy, even landmark, addition to Holocaust/Nazi history.......2007-03-22

After World War II the allies and occupied/liberated countries (e.g., Britain, France, Italy, Poland, Greece, the Soviet Union) tried tens of thousands of people (German POWs, Nazi officials, Nazi colloborators, etc.) for war crimes. The records of most of these trials (many of which were summary) are not available for one reason or another. The most notorious of these war crimes trials were the ones before the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg (scene of the spectacle of the Nazi party day celebrations) in which the U.S., Britain, France, and the USSR jointly prosecuted both organizations (e.g., the SS) and individuals (e.g., Martin Bormann, presumed to be the most powerful man in Germany after Hitler at the end of war, although he was tried "in absentia").

These trials were notorious for two reasons.

First, major players of the Third Reich then in captivity were on trial and attesting to events they were involved in (unlike in normal criminal trials in the U.S., in these trials the accused had no right against self-incrimination and could not refuse to testify or be cross-examined).

Second, documentation of the mass killings in concentration/extermination camps, which some had tried to downplay to that point as propaganda, was divulged to the world for all to see.

Dr. Goldensohn was a psychiatrist who interviewed defendants and witnesses in captivity at the Nuremberg trials on a regular basis. In so doing Dr. Goldensohn's purposes were several: He had to gauge the person's mental spirits (the prosecutors did not want to lose anyone to suicide) and medical well-being, as well as obtain a personal and family history, and prepare a psychological profile.

The results are nothing short of amazing, if not startling. With a few possible exceptions, all of the interviewees tried to distance themselves from the mass killings in one way or another and expressed remorse that they occurred. Their primary excuses were: (1) they knew nothing about them until the end of the war when the inmates in the camps were freed, and (2) they were just following orders, which if disobeyed meant their own death or imprisonment.

The extracts from Dr. Goldenson's contemporaneous interview notes are presented as separate chapters, one for each person. The interviews are primarily independent of each other (they are presented in the book in alphabetical order by defendants and then by witnesses). They can thus be easily read separately or out of order at a leisurely pace without losing the overall context of the book.

The interviews for a particular person vary from 1-2 pages (Rudolf Hess, Alfred Jodl, Albert Speer, Kurt Daluege) to over 20 pages (Walther Funk, Hermann Goering, Hjalmar Schacht, Ewald von Kleist) in length, most are about 10-15 pages. Many of the interviewees come off as bland and colorless, one exception is Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering who by turns is remonstrative and bombastic. Each chapter begins with the person's photo, along with a brief description of their positions and titles, and what ultimately happened to them (death, imprisonment, not guilty).

Dr. Goldensohn's work is particularly enchanced by the participation of historian Robert Gellately, who (1) provides as an introduction a 20-plus page insightful and balanced discussion of the background of the trials and interviews, (2) masterfully edits and abridges the interviews presented (they were still in an incomplete format when Dr. Goldensohn died in 1961, some were typed, some were handwritten, and contained errors in spelling and syntax, etc.), and (3) provides useful endnotes on many of the statements of the interviewees (the endnotes explain the context of some of the statements made, expose misstatements or outright falsehoods, and contain references for further reading).

There are a couple of minor shortcomings to the work: (1) Dr. Goldensohn was not fluent in German and had to rely on a translator for what most of the interviewees were saying: thus it is possible "something got lost in the translation"; (2) one must remember that all of the interviewees were on trial for their lives (10 of the 19 "defendants" were sentenced to death as, at subsequent trials, were 5 of the 14 "witnesses"; 7 of the defendants and 7 of the witnesses received jail terms) and probably suspected anything incriminatory they said would be used against them (indeed, there was no patient-doctor confidentiality in these interviews and any statements they made to Dr. Goldensohn could have been used against them although that apparently never happened). (In this regard, for what its worth, two of the most extensive interview notes in the book are those for Hans Fritsche, a minion who worked in the German Propaganda Ministry, and Hjalmar Schact, former president of the Reichsbank (to 1939) and minister without portfolio (to 1943), both of whom were found not guilty.)

Five Minutes Past the Thousand-Year Reich . . ........2006-01-31

Learning that an America soldier, psychiatrist and MD had the opportunity to examine this Germanic rabble in 1946 was simply too intellectually enticing to ignore, and Robert Gellately's compilation of Dr. Leon Goldensohn's interviews with some major members of the Nazi tribe is just as fascinating and nauseating as I had expected. While `The Nuremburg Interviews' sometimes seems rather like notes from a sophomore psyche class, the book is - in its antiseptic purity - the nearest approximation to explaining the inexplicable, and the nearest to giving some understanding of the incomprehensible.

This lack of editorializing is the book's greatest value. The patients of Dr. Leon Goldensohn (19 of whom are on trial and 10 of whom are just 6 months shy of becoming strange fruit) seem every inch a gentleman . . . Hermann Göring is "friendly, eager to talk, and quite comfortable" while Wilhelm Keitel is "always in a good mood for talking" as Alfred Jodl bleats "you come to see the others but rarely to see me."

To read their interviews is to be struck dumb by their cordial banality. Perhaps most haunting of all is to come to the realization that these men are not monsters but men who acted monstrously in ways that would inspire the devil himself.

Stanley Milgram proved as much in his studies at Yale University and his book "Obedience to Authority." In it, Milgram demonstrated that we are truly a potentially twisted species; frightfully capable of astonishing cruelty when merely nudged in the wrong direction.

`The Nuremburg Interviews' is an ugly read, but an undeniably fascinating one.

The Nuremberg Interviews........2005-10-25

VERY GOOD DETAILS PERTAINING TO THE THOUGHT PROCESSES OF BOTH THE ACCUSED AND THE WITNESSES. WELL ORGANIZED AND WRITTEN IN A MANNER THAT IS EASY TO FOLLOW.

Over familiar ground.......2005-08-02

An interesting presentation if you have not read Gilbert and others. Otherwise, somewhat of a disappointment.

This is the real stuff........2005-07-17

I am not Jewish, nor German, but the issue of what happened in Germany in the Nazi years is a vital one for all of us. (Believe me.)

This book is a very useful collection of interviews. I was enabled to see some light in the murkiness. It also had photographs of the interviewees, which I appreciated very much.
It's hard to describe what I took out of it. It cast so much light on "how it could happen" that I found myself reading passages out loud to people. Large portions I skipped through, in fact I trawled idly, opening what interested me. But the bits that I became absorbed in were very valuable to me. If you are, like me, always trying to find contemporary writings that seem to have the ring of truth about them, this is a must.
My copy has gone AWOL, and I find myself having to buy another.

Taking It to the Next Biz Level.......2004-03-27

This is neat approach, started businesses that have plateaued or not grown at the desired rate. For them, there is a whole array of marketing tools, here delineated and explained by Lipe.

As a former mkt. exec I find this whole approach very right on and well presented in a way that the non-marketing types can grasp and use. Especially salient here is his checklist of "common list mistakes". This is really an area that the non-mkt types miss golden opportunities to understand their biz and how it can move ahead to serve mkts better and grow.

There is great suggestive stuff here, e.g. cheap, good research, and how to integrate all of the mkt. plan once it's developed. Continuing monitoring of this plan and its modification is critical to mkt. share movement, and Lipe's ideas will deliver a solid approach to reigning in one's mkt. to make it do what it can do: build mkts.

Multilinguist puts Marketing Tips to work.......2004-03-11

Jay Lipe's "Marketing Tool Kit" is first class. A very attractive cover with and lay-out a bit like a college textbook. Lipe effectively uses eye-catching graphics, charts and even pop quizes throughout. He's especially effective in hammering home the message that the key to effective marketing is "sticking-to-it-ness." Lipe, President of Emerge Marketing, also stresses diversity in marketing plans. The Chapter on the "Top 12 Marketing Mistakes Business Make" is worth the price of the book itself. Packed with innovative marketing techniques. This book should be required reading for all marketing under-grads. But with all the new perspectives Lipe includes on advertising, promo, and pr, this book could also prove helpful for high-powered MBAs who might have thought that they already knew it all. -- Eric Dondero, Multilingual Interpreter & Author, Worldwide Multilingual Phrase Book

The Craftmanship of Effective Marketing.......2004-02-20

Pretend that you have walked into Lipe's Executive Hardware Store. He greets you warmly at the door and offers to give you a complete tour, during which he identifies all manner of "tools" and carefully explains how to use each. He realizes that you don't need all of them, at least not NOW, but correctly observes that you should be fully aware of all the "tools" that are available. There are 17 different departments in his store. After you complete your tour, you select (with his assistance) those "tools" which are most appropriate to your organization's current needs.

This book is your toolkit. Just as you would become thoroughly familiar with what Lipe's Executive Hardware Store offers, you should become thoroughly familiar with all of this book's contents which are carefully organized within 17 chapters. Some executives will read a book and then attempt to apply immediately everything they have learned from it. Other executives make an equally bad mistake: Because all they have is a "hammer," they see every task as a "nail." Hence the importance of having a variety of different tools, knowing not only how but when to use each of them effectively. As needs change, so must the resources which are allocated to meet those needs.

Here is Lipe's definition of marketing: "...a process where everyone [underlined] in the company pursues actions, at designated points, to increase sales, grow profits and deepen relationships." My own is much simpler: Marketing is the process by which to create or increase demand for whatever one offers. I could not agree more, however, with his assertion that everyone (literally everyone) in any organization must be involved in marketing because people do business with other people, not with companies, and "doing business" includes every (literally every) person with whom there is contact each day, both within and beyond the organization. Lipe quotes Drucker's assertion that "Marketing is not a function. It is the whole business as seen from the customer's point of view." This is precisely what Warren Buffett had in mind when asserting that "Price is what you pay. Value is what you get." Customers' perceptions of value are in fact the ultimate realities of the marketing process.

Although Lipe's book does indeed provide "tips, techniques and tools" to improve current marketing efforts, it can also provide an essential source of information and guidance when formulating a marketing plan for the first time. His book can also be of substantial benefit to those now preparing for a career in business even if they do not plan to specialize (if that's the word) in marketing. They must realize that, as noted earlier, everyone (literally everyone) in a given organization is directly or at least indirectly involved with marketing. Once you have read this book, you are urged to check out Lipe's "Recommended Resources" and "Websites for Marketers" sections (pages 241-244), both of which would be even more helpful had Lipe also provided brief comments on resources identified. There is one significant omission: Theodore Levitt's The Marketing Imagination, based on his earlier article "Marketing Myopia" which appeared in the Harvard Business Review.

Great hands-on approach.......2003-10-27

The first thing that came to my mind as I read this book was that it is one of the most practical, down-to-earth, hands-on approaches to marketing that I have come across. Jay Lipe manages to distill some vary advanced marketing concepts into small easy to understand and easy to apply pieces that anyone can follow. Some of the areas he covers include common mistakes and how to correct them (or avoid them entirely), how to use active language to get people to act, how to use metrics to determine what works and what does not in your marketing plan, search engine positioning, budgeting, and even how to market during a recession.

Mr. Lipe asks some very directed questions at strategic points in the book. These questions are designed to make you think and help clearly define your goals as well as how you will be able to achieve them. In addition he includes lots of forms that can be used to clearly define your target market, how you will get your marketing plan to them, exactly what your marketing plan should, and should not include, and exactly how to go about implementing the plan. This is a complete marketing plan that can be used for any business no matter what type of services or products they provide. If you want a marketing education that concentrates on the practical side of marketing without a lot of discussion of theory then this is a book that you will want to consider. I've taken college level marketing courses that did not provide as much practical knowledge as this book. "The Marketing Toolkit for Growing Business" is a very highly recommended purchase if you plan to take charge of your own marketing or want to know what your marketing firm should be doing.

My highest recommendation: valuable, hard-to-find advice.......2003-02-10

As a marketing consultant and author of several books for entrepreneurs and professionals, I expected this volume to be similar to many other marketing books. It's not. Not only is it focused on existing rather than new businesses, it concentrates on planning and strategy, which receive little attention in other books. Full of checklists, charts and truly helpful explanations, it will aid you in creating and tweaking a reasonable, effective and comprehensive marketing program that grows your business.
