For someone like me who hardly knows shambles about investment, the money market, wall street or something Chinese sounding like equity funds, commodities or shares; I was under the fallacy that Robert Shemins How come THAT idiots rich and Im Not? book would be the required dosage of Nirvana for my financial soul.
However, it was not the case.

Let's just say: I got this book for free, and I'm glad. I was at a conference where Shemin was a speaker - and he's very very good at that, by the way - and this book was a free takeaway. I honestly didn't make it all the way through, because the first two sections contained just a wee bit too much 'spiritally mystical money-making rules of the universe' for my tastes. (Read: all of it.) Glancing ahead, I suspect section three might have a few bits of actual, practical wisdom, but I somehow

I really love this book, and know how to appreciate it. I am surprised it got low ratings in quite a few reviews, but I usually rate in accordance to how it affected me. I felt Robert's simple, no frills way of writing shows an underlying humility that fits like a puzzle piece to everything he proposes in this book.
I am very eagle-eyed regarding contradictions, but alas, I found none here! His writing was as smooth as a parfait with fresh cream and fruits straight from the bushes. I More...

This was alright. I listened to it in audio format and it is read by the author. Of course, he is a professional speaker so it is very well read. Feels like a one on one counceling session. There is a lot in here, but it is all basic common sense kind of stuff.
There is a lot of stuff that is remiscent of The Secret, but it does a little deeper and is somewhat motivating. There are also a few jewels in the information, but not too many of them.
Basically it is a call More...

Do not waste your time with this book. This is just a rehash of so many other books on investing and real estate. Buying a used car instead of a new one, and explaining how real estate is a good investment over the long run has been explained more interestingly by much better writers elsewhere. The one unique thought here was to become a travel agent using some multi-level marketing site so you could get free or discounted travel. While not a bad idea I must admit, it just did not seem practica

Yes, the book was a little self-serving at times (go to my website…blah, blah, blah), but I still enjoyed it. According to Robert, to become a rich idiot you have to change your way of thinking - an upside down way of thinking. Though, easier said than done, it did make sense to me and after some aha moments, it didn’t take me long to figure out why I wasn’t rich. His writing style is fun, simple and inspiring, which also makes this a good repeat read.

This book is about how to become a “rich idiot”, and was written specifically for people who have already achieved half of that goal.

I picked this book up several months back thinking that the book dealt with the human psychology involved with success and failure. Unfortunately, the book was not what I had expected.
Although, I found the book to be spiritually uplifting, it read a lot like a late night info-mercial. The kind where "You too can be rich, if you follow my plan."
There were a couple of insightful nuggets but overall, the book was a big disappointment.

I wasn't impressed, nor did I gain any insight about becoming any richer. This book may be good for people who love risk and have no problem with being completely direct with strangers. It also focuses heavily on playing with real estate which may not be the best advice considering the current market.

Good book. Definitely an excellent beginner's introduction to thinking about wealth. I learned some new items about Second Life and virtual reality worlds where people are generating wealth.
Further proof that money is just an idea.

A good book overall. With a non-sense approach to saving money, through intelligent investing and cautious spending. It would be worthwhile for anyone to read through. I liked the book a lot and read through it in two days.

Buy your own home, a single family or duplex, and a small complex 6 to 12 units and you can retire.
