America's greatness comes from people working hard to fulfill their dreams. But today that greatness is being undermined by people using the government to steal other people's dreams (and money). Rather than participate and innovate in the marketplace, generating goods and services that benefit society, people are increasingly vying for political advantage to live at the expense of others. Something for Nothing reveals the social and personal threats inherent in this emerging "grabbing match" culture, juxtaposing free-market virtues against government vices, explaining how the something-for-nothing mentality corrupts the political system, undermines corporate success, and stifles the individual's ability to prosper and contribute long-term to society. More than exposing the dangers, however, Tracy helps readers set a personal and culture-wide agenda for change.

      Veteran teacher and personal development expert Brian Tracy says that individuals have enormous capacity to choose the way they think and act, a choice that is often sabotaged by the all too human desire to get rewards without doing the work. With careful analysis and a firm grasp of the economics of personal functioning, and Tracy's trademark ability to flesh out his points with lucid examples, this is a memorable lesson that will impact anyone who hears it. Tracy is especially articulate about how society's institutions can help or hurt an individual's capacity to live ethically. This is an indispensable guide to being responsible for one's life and influencing others to do the same. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
