Welcome!


Welcome!! My name is Paul Lappen. I am in my early 60s, single, and live in Connecticut USA. This blog will consist of book reviews, written by me, on a wide variety of subjects. I specialize, as much as possible, in small press and self-published books, to give them whatever tiny bit of publicity help that I can. Other than that, I am willing to review nearly any genre, except poetry, romance, elementary-school children's books and (really bloody) horror.

I have another 800 reviews at my archive blog: http://www.deadtreesreviewarchive.blogspot.com (please visit).

I post my reviews to:

booklore.co.uk
midwestbookreview.com
Amazon and B&N (of course)
Librarything.com
Goodreads.com
Books-a-million.com
Reviewcentre.com
Pinterest.com
and on Twitter

I am always looking for more places to post my reviews.

Mindset That Changes Everything

 Mindset That Changes Everything, Aryan Chaudhary, 2018

In a person’s journey to the land of wealth, mindset is a very important thing. It’s much more difficult to become rich if you still think like a poor person. This book may be able to help.


On your way to becoming rich, you will certainly learn to become adaptable. Change is going to happen at the most inconvenient time. You need to stay motivated, regardless of what happens. Another requirement is to be passionate about “it,” whatever it is. Expect stress and competition. Always set goals and never stop learning.


Discipline, the ability to keep moving toward your goal, no matter what obstacles life throws at you, is an important skill of successful people. Emotional intelligence is much more important in business than regular, IQ, intelligence. You need to keep yourself motivated at all times, and also stay focused. Be patient – becoming rich and successful will take time; potentially, lots of time. Can the making of any part of your product or service be outsourced to someone else? How will people know what you are selling if you don’t do some marketing? Learn how to manage your money, or find someone to do it for you.


On the other hand, poor people would rather watch TV than work on their business. They don’t place a high priority on health, so they will eat the typical American un-healthy diet. “Unless you are a professional athlete or an owner of one of the teams, there’s really no reason for you to watch sports.” (!!) Poor people blame others for their misfortune.


Once you become rich, there are other things to worry about. Does your spouse really love you, or are they only interested in your money? Will your children grow up to be spoiled brats, having never experienced life as an average person? What about your friends, both old and new? Do they have dollar signs in their eyes whenever they look at you? Will you be subject to frivolous lawsuits, simply to get at your money?


This is a very interesting book. It won’t reveal any secrets to getting rich, but having the right mindset is still an important part of the journey. It is really worth reading.
