Publisher's summary

A heartwarming series of stories and practical wisdom on entrepreneurship and wealth in the vein of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, written by a financially independent father for his ambitious son.

Soon after he opened his vineyard for business many years ago, the Wealthy Gardener noticed a puzzling fact. Everyone wanted money, but only a few people managed to accumulate it. The reason, he realized, is that most people focus on short-term gains instead of achieving lasting wealth.

As he grew old and aware of his dwindling time on this Earth, the Wealthy Gardener began to share his hard-earned wisdom with the financially troubled in his community, patiently mentoring those who asked for his practical advice on the ways of prosperity.

The parable of the Wealthy Gardener is far more than an admonishment to earn more or spend less; it is about timeless principles. As his lessons reveal, financial freedom is a means to power and control over our lives. Without money, we are subject to the demands and whims of others. With money, we are sheltered from the storm, and we can extend that shelter to our loved ones.

Poised to become an intimate financial classic, The Wealthy Gardener will inspire listeners to find their own noble purpose and relieve their money worries once and for all. No matter your income level, skillset, or unique economic disadvantages, the lessons in this book will show you the path forward. All you need is the will to work, the desire to succeed, and the motivation to learn.

a new timeless financial guide

this book has the perfect balance of interesting stories, analogies, and correct principles of success. written as advice from parent to child. I wish I would have been raised with these principles and I'll definitely raise my kids with these principles. Very motivational to hear the realistic perspective that one has to put in extraordinary effort to yield extraordinary results. The extraordinary results are within reach. thank you John Soforic! I'll be listening to this book again.

Relevant and relatable

Definitely, one of the most relevant and relatable books on building wealth in our "I got to have it all now" world.

Great personal finance book

This is the most complete personal finance book I have ever read. I greatly appreciated the advice on how to handle adversity and down turns which is often glossed over in other books. It is an easy read that unfolds as a good story rather than a text book.

Profoundly empowering

Profoundly empowering life principles woven into an entertaining story that keeps you interested and intrigued. I wish I had this book when I was in high school, but take solace in knowing that my son will have it before he gets to high school.

Great book about life & wealth

One of the best books I've read. It's on to my boys. I'll read it again for a reminder when I lose focus.

Great book

Parable styled information for those such as myself that learn best from examples. Great book.

Powerful

I have read a lot of personal finance, investing, and entrepreneurial books but none as powerful and clear as this one.

I recommend it to anyone who desires to have a life of financial independence and individual control over your destiny.

Great Read

Full of many successful principles all wrapped up in an easy to follow, fictional, story.

this one should change your life

one of the most introspective educational books I've read/ heard. what an amazing way to pass on your knowledge to the next generation via storytelling and biography.

Life is a Garden

The keys to a life of freedom and fulfillment. Thank you John. Your lessons will be revisited through my life’s tenure.
