In his latest book, "Wealth Without Apology: A Prosperity Manifesto," New York Times bestselling author Randy Gage takes a hard stance against what he calls the victim mindset, arguing that personal responsibility and mindset shifts are the keys to prosperity, regardless of systemic inequalities. Gage, who was jailed at age 15 for armed robbery, credits that experience with transforming his thinking and ultimately leading him to build a business empire that has generated over $23 billion in revenue for himself, his clients, and protégés.
"I was furious at society," says Gage, "one that I saw as not offering equality for all. And that mindset led me to pull a gun on a cashier and walk out with $800. The inevitable jail time — at 15 — blessed me innumerably. It led to a complete transformation of my mindset, and the total eradication of an insidious belief system that had kept me in a mental prison way before I manifested a physical one."
Published by Prosperity Factory, Inc., the book challenges readers to reject what Gage describes as cultural programming that encourages guilt and scarcity thinking. With chapter titles such as "The Only Free Cheese Is in the Mousetrap" and "Poverty Sucks. (Stop Making It a Lifestyle Choice)," Gage provides a blueprint for breaking free from limiting beliefs. He asserts that "powerful, seemingly omnipotent forces like the government, monetary system, and a controlling society cannot prevent you from becoming healthy, happy, and prosperous if you are so determined."
Gage acknowledges that inequality is real but insists that anyone from any background can succeed by adopting a prosperity mindset. "Yes, inequality is real. But anyone from any background or discriminated-against group can defy the odds and succeed — and many do — simply by shifting their mindset," he writes. The book aims to teach readers how to think, not what to think, and guides them through a mental readjustment that ultimately presents a choice between victimhood and victory.
"Wealth Without Apology" is available at major retailers including Amazon.com, BN.com, Bookshop.org, and BooksAMillion.com. Gage, who has spoken in more than 50 countries and is inducted into the Speaker Hall of Fame, continues to promote his message through his company Prosperity Factory, Inc., which he founded in 1991.
The book has already received endorsements from figures like Dr. Joe Vitale, a Law of Attraction Expert and star of "The Secret," who provided a video review. Gage's story serves as a testament to his philosophy: from a troubled youth to a global success, he has authored 16 bestselling books translated into more than 25 languages.
