Publisher's Summary
A practical approach to creating wealth-based on the established principles of ancient Jewish wisdom-made accessible to people of all backgrounds. The ups and downs of the economy prove Rabbi Daniel Lapin's famous principle that the more things change, the more we need to depend upon the things that never change. There's no better source for both practical and spiritual financial wisdom than the time-tested knowledge found in the ancient Jewish faith and its culture.
In Thou Shall Prosper, Lapin offers a practical approach to creating wealth based on the established principles of ancient Jewish wisdom. This book details the 10 permanent principles that never change, the ten commandments of making money if you will, and explores the economic and philosophic vision of business that has been part of Jewish culture for centuries. The book's focus is on making accessible to individuals of all backgrounds, the timeless truths that Jews have used for centuries to excel in business. This book:
- Outlines 10 fundamental "commandments" relating to business and money
- Includes insights that will increase your potential for creating wealth, no matter what your faith or background may be
- Blends contemporary business stories and Lapin's own business experiences with the wisdom of the Torah and Talmudic prescriptions
This Second Edition provides new examples, especially of Internet-related business opportunities. In addition, each chapter highlights specific action steps that can lead to wealth opportunities in both difficult economic times and periods of prosperity.

"Great book, changes the way you think of money"
Great book if you are at least inclined to think that money and profits are not evil. If you think that trying to earn more and accumulate wealth is exploitation you'll hate how this book challenges your erroneous mindset.
Author does a great job of discussing the purpose of business and money as helping others via volumtary exchange. His insight and interpretation of ancient biblical stories was fascinating to someone who was raised Christian and had heard many of them before but never with this level of historical analysis and
linguistic study.
The reader was good but SLOW! I ended up listening to half the book at 1.5 or even 2x speed. He does "gulp" air in the beginning as one reviewer said but either he stopped or I stopped hearing it.
The negatives are the minor issues with narration and the author would go on fairly long tangents but he would ultimately tie it back into the story.4 of 4 people found this review helpful -
"I knew buisness and money were good, heres why"
The Rabi is very detailed in covering what seems like every aspect of life and buisness. What a unique perspective on life. I find that the Jewish community has discovered something in life that others have missed, or at least were not taugt to me. It was a great read, only a dusting of religion, (so don't be scared off by the "Rabi" part, very good info that applies to the religious and unreligious alike) and allot of really good information about most aspects of life.
If you want a unique look at life, money, buisness, selling, buying.....LIFE!?
This is the book for you. I mean anyone. Everyone.3 of 3 people found this review helpful -
"Amazing!"
Immensely powerful information! Who would have that that religious teaching could offer so much to the business professional? I highly recommend this book to everyone. This is basic information that everyone should know but few do. If I could only read one book on business this would probably be the one.

"World=making $ is evil. The Rabbi's God =opposite"
Where does Thou Shall Prosper rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?It's a lot of content, but I would say it is in my top 5 for sure
What other book might you compare Thou Shall Prosper to and why?I have never heard the Jewish/Judeo-Christian take on $ before. The section where the Rabbi contrasts the view the U.S. has on making money and what his God says using biblical and cultural expamples, present and historic is fascinating. I don't know of a book that clarifies a theological perspective of making, having, giving, and spending money so well. This studied explanation of what a healthy view of money from the Judeo-Christian/Biblical perspective, I think would be hard to compare.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?Promoted thought towards and changed my perspective of my role in the workplace and the fruit of my labor.

"Very good, worth every dime!"
Where does Thou Shall Prosper rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?Five star.
Any additional comments?The author is a master on this subject. This is a life work not a book put together to make money. I am glad it is in my library, I will be coming back to it often.
I talked about this book so much that my family know who he1 of 1 people found this review helpful -

"Great information if you can get past the narrator"
Where does Thou Shall Prosper rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?It is by-far my favorite. The information is golden and practical.
Would you be willing to try another one of A. C. Feliner’s performances?It would need to be heavily reccomended
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?Prosper you must serve others
Any additional comments?The information in this book is priceless. I enjoy the information and new view at the business world.

"Fantastic"
What a find. I throughly enjoyed this book. Rabbi Lapin brings clarity and invites you to think differently about things you though you knew. It should be a read for anyone looking to make a better living for themselves and others.

"Better Than the Title"
If you could sum up Thou Shall Prosper in three words, what would they be?Thou Shall Prosper may sound like a religious book, but it's not. It's a book about value - your value in the market place.Once you get past the title and the fact that this book was written by a Rabbi, you'll see how the principles and ideas he talks about can help you do more with money. You'll see money differently.You'll also begin to see wealth and prosperity not as evil but as an ultimate benchmark of the good you are offering to the world. Despite the subtitle, this book is less about how to make money and more about how people - including you - view money. Get your views and beliefs about money right and the how to make it will take care of itself.

"Not what I was expecting."
I'm sure this book is for someone, just not me. I found it an odd mix of religion and history that flip-flopped back and forth. Didn't see the relevance of much of it.
Didn't really care for the narrator either.
If you think you'd be interested in this I recommend getting it and if it's not for you use Audible's Great Read program to exchange it.0 of 0 people found this review helpful
