Great book to start a nomadic life.

Not had chance to read the book yet but was please with the service of getting the book and look forward to reading it.

Some nice ideas but not the game changer that i was lead to believe that it was.

This has been sitting in my "to-read" shelf for a while, but I finally bought it when I was reminded about it by a friend. Even though i'd heard a lot of critical acclaim for this, I set my expectations low: just another self-help book.Well, I'm happy to say that I was wrong. This is a unique little book which has opened my eyes in many ways, forcing me to ask the difficult questions, and take control of my destiny. When I usually read something like this, I expect to pick up one or two useful ideas or thoughts which might help change my life in small ways. But this felt, ESPECIALLY in the first half of the book (i.e., the first 2 sections), like it was throwing legitimate interesting and potentially life-changing questions at me every couple of pages. I've NEVER experienced something like that before.Like other reviewers, I was a little underwhelmed by the second half. As a package, it's still VERY good, but the second half is quite obviously more US-centric and didn't leave me with as many moments where my jaw was dropping or the gears in my head were turning.I'd recommend this to anyone. I'm currently in the process of throwing it at my partner and telling all my friends and family about it. No matter what age, I think we can all learn something useful from this.

I'm about a quarter way through and so far so good. I'm finding it really inspiring.I decided to get it because I was at a finance talk at uni when a guy who used to work for a finance company mentioned in passing that he read this book before he set up his own business and he makes more in a month than he does in a year. So I was pretty convinced because he was a real guy who went to my uni and he didn't even mention the name of the book I had to ask him what it was. I was also following a girl on youtube called "girlbanker". She made some really good videos on how to get into the banking industry and she said the same thing!! So I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm up to the part where I'm "dreamlining" ie creating a structure of the life of my dreams, working out its costs and the target monthly income that I need to work towards. I think this book is a millionnaire's best kept secret. But we'll see. I'll try to do another review in a year or 6 when I've made my millions!

Some really good general tips and advice that most people could apply to their job would be very beneficial and time-saving. However, some of it is quite specific to roles in sales or business.There are many great references and information sources, however, these are US-based and some are likely to be outdated now.I enjoyed the writing style, I found it easy to read, and straight to the point and liked that he doesn't sugarcoat things and says what a lot of people have probably thought themselves. His style is very much like Marmite you either love it or hate it.Overall I enjoyed the read. It was thought-provoking and inspirational. A solid 4-star read, but it didn't make 5 stars due to - being US specific (I'm UK), and being a touch repetitive, would be very good to have a new post-Covid update with more worldwide resources.
