Super Rich: A Guide to Having It All written by Russell Simmons serves as a blueprint, for individuals who are open to receive and allow themselves to spiritually evolve to attract riches that are beyond what is viewed as valuable in today’s society.
Super Rich does not focus on Russell’s personal financial wealth; instead, this book focuses on his personal transformation through the practices of yoga through eight steps. These eight steps are centered on non-violence, focus, physical practice, breathing exercises, control of the senses, meditation, and union with the divine.
Meditation provides him with profound mental moments of stillness as a byproduct of the physical benefits of Yoga. It has cured him of headaches and has calmed his nerves.
Spiritually, he is inspired through his education and understanding of the holy scriptures Yoga Sutras and Bhagavad Gita. Super Rich is a user-friendly introduction for further spiritual exploration to attract prosperity.
Russell Simmons’ Super Rich shares his very personal transformation from a drug dealing, overweight, insensitive hustler to the physically fit, activist and multi-millionaire mogul through his practice of yoga. He takes readers on a journey, shifting the perception of what people believe to be the definition of “super rich,” from material to spiritual riches.
The core message revolves around the fact that when you dedicate yourself to service and giving rather than success and getting and focus instead on the process rather than the results, you bring out the best in not only yourself but in the world as well.
Simmons highlights examples of Super Rich spiritual principles in action. For example entrepreneur and entertainment mogul Sean Combs along with blockbuster filmmaker and rapper 50 Cent showcased their talents and services for free in order to create momentum which enabled them to receive a return of mega riches.
Being mindful that mega riches means being happy with the spiritual journey beyond the material accumulation. Thingsbecomes a material burden if you are not happy with your spiritual life. He warns not to confuse the toys with happiness.
The physical practice helps to release the unconscious tension that gets stored in the body so that you can think clearly. The clarity that a yoga practice brings leads to the conscious compassion that Russell also explores in his book.
