With her regular appearances on the Today show, Oprah, PBS, and QVC; her hugely popular speaking engagements; and major coverage in such publications as People and The New Yorker; Suze Orman has become a virtual brand name among authors. At the heart of her success is the optimistic, inspiring, and eminently practical message that millions of readers embraced when they discovered it in The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom. Now, countless more readers will join them thanks to the trade paperback publication of this contemporary classic. In this revolutionary approach to personal finance, Suze asks the simple question: Are you in control of your money - or is your money in control of you! In guiding readers to arrive at a positive answer to this question - wherever they may be starting from - Suze offers her own no-nonsense, no-doubletalk brand of advice on manoeuvering your way through the confusion of credit, insurance, estate planning, IRAs, and mutual funds. But she also goes beyond the nuts and bolts of managing money to explore the psychological, even spiritual, power that money has in our lives. The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom spent more than 11 months on the New York Times best-seller list and was also number one on such national best-seller lists as the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Business Week, the Washington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, and the Chicago Tribune.

When Suze Orman was 13 she watched her father dive into the flames of his burning take-out chicken shack in order to rescue his cash register. In that moment Orman learned that money was more important than life itself. And so it became her quest to be rich. But years later, when Orman became a wealthy broker with a huge investment firm, she was profoundly unhappy. What went wrong? She had not yet achieved financial freedom. In her nine-step program, Orman covers the ingredients to financial success--confronting our beliefs and fears, learning the nuts and bolts (and insiders secrets!) of savvy management, and finding the spiritual trust that leads to abundance.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Amazon.com Audio Review

Suze Orman's reading of the audio version of her bestselling bookThe 9 Steps to Financial Freedomis nothing if not intense. Coming at you with the force of a summer hurricane heading for Cape Fear, Orman recounts one horror story after another to help us avoid financial disaster. But, if her insistent, somewhat graceless voice takes some getting used to, it's well worth the adjustment. After awhile, you'll be glad she's doing the talking, blending years of experience as a certified financial planner with credible authority and, more important, a passionate belief in our individual abilities to handle our own finances. There's no question that Suze Orman cares about how we manage our money.To show her commitment to our financial well-being, Orman packs this abridgment with an unusual combination of practical advice and psychological exercises. During our three hours with her, we receive arguably the best education available on mutual funds, estate planning, income taxes--even life insurance. But we also learn how to "face our fear" of money by exploring our past for the source of the fear. Later, she tells us that giving money to charity actually helps us release this fear. And, in perhaps her most startling step ("trust yourselves more than others"), Orman suggests we follow our inner voice while making investment decisions, a voice she believes comes from God.Whatever you may thing of that revelation, it's impossible to be put off by Orman's candid, idiosyncratic approach to money management. This is one self-help tape that lives up to the genre. Listeners who stick with Orman till the end will be truly inspired to take money matters into their own hands--and they'll likely get started immediately.

From Library Journal

Orman is the head of her own financial-planning firm, a certified retirement specialist, and a best-selling author (You've Earned It, Don't Lose It, LJ 1/95). In her latest work, she analyzes the psychological and spiritual factors involved in how we perceive money. Her definition of financial freedom is "when you have power over your fears and anxieties instead of the other way around." Through case studies, Orman illustrates the psychological importance of money and its effect on our lives. She offers practical guidelines for investing, preparing a budget, purchasing a home, getting out of debt, and writing a will. A helpful financial worksheet is included. Orman's insightful guide is highly recommended to public libraries.?Lucy T. Heckman, St. John's Univ. Lib., Jamaica, N.Y.
