Book Review - ‘How to Be Wildly Wealthy FAST’ by Sandy Forster

‘How to Be Wildly Wealth FAST’ is written by Australian author and entrepreneur Sandy Forster. Subtitled ‘A Powerful Step-by-Step Guide to Attract Prosperity and Abundance into Your Life Today!’, this book provides nearly 60 chapters of extremely comprehensive tips for improving your financial situation. These run the gamut from practical steps to getting a grip on your spending and reducing debt, to more esoteric techniques that help you to work with the law of attraction to allow greater abundance to manifest in your life. You can see the list of chapters and read an extract from the book by using the ‘Search Inside’ function on Amazon.

Forster’s writing style is both upbeat and no-nonsense. While her material has a very solid grounding in the law of attraction and the metaphysical approach to wealth creation, she also stresses the importance of controlling your existing spending habits, and managing your money in a sensible way. Big dreams are encouraged, but only along with the kind of stable, grounded perspective which many books of this type seem to ignore.

Her own story is an inspiring one, and she certainly walks her talk; this once-struggling single parent with over $100,000 in debts turned her situation around, and now makes an abundant income doing what she loves. But although she discusses the ‘millionaire mindset’, her emphasis is not really just on accumulating huge amounts of cash; she notes that even when she had a large income, she was still unhappy and imbalanced around money. Rather, becoming ‘Wildly Wealthy’ in this context means having as much money as is desired (which obviously varies from person to person), together with a true wealth consciousness.

I won’t try to summarise all of the information here - there’s just too much! The chapters are quite short and concise, which is a definite advantage. Each chapter addresses a particular aspect of acquiring and maintaining your wealth, with the emphasis on changing your mental attitude in such a way as to allow money to flow easily. ‘Wildly Wealthy’ is a very practical book too, with action steps at the end of each chapter, so you can put what you’ve learned into practice straight away. Of course, not all of the approaches and techniques will appeal to everyone, but there’s such a wealth of both pragmatic and more esoteric material here that almost any reader is sure to find something of value.

I don’t agree with Forster’s position completely - for example, she makes some statements that imply that she believes the universe is somehow judging our suitability to receive more money, such as when she says (I’m paraphrasing here) that you if you don’t look after the money you have, and stay in balance, you might not be ‘given’ more, whereas I believe it’s purely down to energy alignment. The universe doesn’t ever judge - it just provides, and it’s down to us to let it in or not! But these are minor quibbles, and overall I found this to be a very useful and uplifting book that I’m happy to recommend to anyone who is interested in using law of attraction to increase their wealth, particularly those who need some help in getting out of debt, or getting a handle on their spending.
