Randy Gage, New York Times bestselling author and founder of Prosperity Factory, Inc., released his new book "Wealth Without Apology: A Prosperity Manifesto" on April 28, 2026, in which he takes a hard stance against victimhood thinking. Gage, who at 15 was jailed for armed robbery, argues that while inequality is real, individuals from any background can succeed by shifting their mindset.
"I was furious at society," says Randy, "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."
Gage, who has generated more than $23 billion in revenue for himself, his clients, and protégés, wrote this book for those ready to replace victimhood with prosperity consciousness. With chapter titles like "The Only Free Cheese Is in the Mousetrap" and "Poverty Sucks. (Stop Making It a Lifestyle Choice)," he challenges cultural programming that teaches guilt for wanting more.
"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 writes. He emphasizes that the process requires a dramatic mental readjustment, leading to a choice between victimhood and victory.
"Victimhood offers many perceived benefits, and as tantalizing as they might appear through distorted thinking, you must reject them entirely to become a victor. And the benefits of being a victor are simple but profound: You will live a healthy, happy, and prosperous life," he says.
The book, published by Prosperity Factory, Inc., spans 142 pages and is available at Amazon.com, BN.com, Bookshop.org, and BooksAMillion.com. Gage's message is particularly relevant in a time when societal narratives often emphasize systemic barriers over individual agency. By sharing his own story of transformation from a troubled youth to a global success, he provides a roadmap for readers to break free from scarcity thinking.
"Wealth Without Apology" is not merely about accumulating money; it aims to create true prosperity where financial success, personal fulfillment, health, and purpose work together. Gage challenges readers to take responsibility for their own lives, arguing that prosperity is a birthright that requires a mindset shift to achieve.
