“He has a great gift. He has the gift to inspire.”

—Bill Clinton,
former president of the United States

“Tony Robbins is a human locksmith—he knows how to open your mind to larger possibilities. Using his unique insights into human nature, he’s found a way to simplify the strategies of the world’s greatest investors and create a simple 7-step system that anyone can use on the path to the financial freedom they deserve.”

—Paul Tudor Jones II,
founder, Tudor Investment Corporation, and legendary trader with 28 consecutive years of positive returns for his investors

Money: Master the Game
will be a huge help to investors . . . Tony Robbins dropped by my office for a 40-minute appointment that lasted for four hours. It was the most provocative, probing interview of my long career, a reaction shared, I’m sure, by the other souls with strong investment values and sharp financial minds who populate this fine book. This book will enlighten you and reinforce your understanding of how to master the money game and, in the long run, earn your financial freedom.”

—John C. Bogle,
founder, the Vanguard Group and the Vanguard index funds, #1 largest mutual funds in the world
