Fisher’s philosophy focused on identifying companies with superior management, strong competitive advantages, and exceptional growth prospects, then holding them for the long term. This 5-minute summary explores Fisher’s time-tested principles for finding and evaluating growth stocks that can generate uncommon profits over decades.
Secrets of the Millionaire Mind
by Alex Ng
Why do some people effortlessly attract wealth while others struggle financially despite working hard and having good intentions? T.

Published in 2005, this groundbreaking book explores the psychological and emotional barriers that prevent people from achieving wealth, while providing 17 ‘Wealth Files’ that distinguish how rich people think differently from poor and middle-class people. Eker, who went from zero to millionaire in just two and a half years, shares the mindset shifts and mental reprogramming techniques that enabled his transformation. This 5-minute summary reveals the core principles for developing a millionaire mind and breaking through the mental barriers that limit financial success.
