The book is called Super Rich: A Guide to Having it All, written by Russell Simmons, a hip-hop entrepreneur estimated to be worth more than $100 million.  He was also named one of the "Top 25 Most Influential People of the Past 25 Years," according to USA Today.

This is not a book telling you how to make money, but ultimately, following these steps will help you become successful and with success comes...well, money.  Simmons tells us to focus on the things that matter the most in business and in life.

In an interview with Yahoo Finance's, Aaron Task, Simmons lays out some of the key principles that have made him successful.

Let Go of the Results:  Break free of the boundaries that you have imposed on yourself or have had put on you.  If things aren't working, transform yourself....identify your strengths and pursue them in every possible way.    

In a BrokerIPTV interview with John Skrabec of Live Urban Real Estate in Denver, Skrabec says that to be successful you must find your unique image, and craft your brand around your unique selling proposition and connect with your sphere of influence. 

"You want to always be open, creative and fluid as possible, and never become rigid, old or tight," Simmons writes, encouraging readers to let loose and lower their defenses.

Give Your Talents Until They Can't Live Without It:  Find your hidden potential and share your talents, even without compensation, says Simmons.  Make a positive impact on the world and you will be happier in life, this is the true meaning of being Super Rich.  Soon this will also manifest itself in business, financial and personal success, as is the case with Simmons life. "The man has made a couple of hundred million starting with nothing. He is, therefore, someone who should be listened to seriously. He doesn't just talk the talk, he has walked the walk." stated one reviewer of his new book.

Relentlessly Pursue Your Goals Without Appearing Needy:  Simmons' main point in the book is to stop making excuses.  Pursue whatever it is that you do best and do the best at whatever you are doing and, Simmons says, if you don't love it, leave it alone.

The Joy of Giving:  Simmons is known around the world for his philanthropy.  Easy for someone with millions, you might think, but a rich life must include being a "good giver."

His book, Super Rich, may not be a step by step guide to how to make you wealthy, but it is a useful tool based on his successful methods to get "Super Rich" in life.
