Thou Shall Prosper

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 the Second Edition of Thou Shall Prosper,
Lapin offers a practical approach to creating wealth based on the
established principles of ancient Jewish wisdom. This book details
the ten 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.

• Outlines ten 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.
