Publisher's summary

The perennial New York Times best-selling author here helps listeners discover how to put money in its place and use wealth-building as a tool for joy and fulfillment.

Hill Harper is uniquely poised to guide listeners through tough times and offers best-selling advice for reaping the rewards of a truly happy life. With The Wealth Cure, he does more than that: He presents a revolutionary new definition of wealth, motivating listeners to not only build financial security but to also achieve wealth in every aspect of their lives.

Using his own journey as a parable, Harper inspires listeners to evaluate their values while explaining the importance of laying a sound financial foundation and recognizing how to increase the value of personal interactions.

Drawing on his own recollections and true stories from family and friends, Harper helps listeners to see money not as a goal but as a tool that provides freedom for following their passions. The keys include investing in yourself, tapping the resources you need, and taking responsibility for how those resources are used.

Far from a get-rich-quick primer, The Wealth Cure brims with inspired wisdom for building a lasting bounty from the experiences, loved ones, and achievements that really matter.

Critic reviews

"This is a different kind of financial book, one that not only urges us to look at how we use our money but also at how we define wealth. It's as much about personal philosophy as about advice on building a solid financial future." (USA Today)

"The Wealth Cure could fit comfortably in the self-help or personal finance aisle, melding together life strategies, wisdom from family and strangers he meets on a cross-country train ride, and nuts-and-bolts budgeting advice. It's a guide that doesn't promise to get you rich quick, but to quickly help your life get richer." (AOL Daily Finance)

"Too many of us think we don't have the ability to better identify how to spend our money, but in Hill Harper's latest book he gives advice on simple ways to save more and admits some of his own financial and personal challenges." (Chicagotribune.com)
