Ten daily habits Corley found in his study of wealthy people, told through the stories of struggling clients who adopted them.
What the book argues
Corley, an accountant, surveyed wealthy and poor individuals and found consistent differences in daily habits: goal setting, reading, exercise, relationship building, moderation, living below means and controlling thoughts and emotions. The book wraps the findings in short case stories.
Three ideas you can use this week
- Read thirty minutes a day for self-improvement, not entertainment.
- Build relationships deliberately: calls, notes and birthdays.
- Live below your means and automate saving before anything else.
Who it is for
People who like concrete daily checklists and real-life examples.
How to turn it into a routine
Choose one of the ten habits and track it for thirty days.
Who should skip it
The survey is informal and the correlation-causation issue is never addressed. The stories are simple.
Verdict
A plain, practical habit list. Do not mistake it for science; do try the habits.
