Automate your finances

I've read a handful of investment/ finance books in the past, but this one has been my favorite to date.

This was a Christmas gift from my sister. It breaks down the process of automating your finances into a series of 6 weekly steps.
What I love about the book is that these aren't broad and obscure steps that add little to no value, rather he gets nitty-gritty with the specifics. 
In the past, I've found a gem here and there in personal finance books, but in this book, each chapter gives actionable gems (read strategies) that you can put into place that week. 
This is my first nonfiction review, so I'll be reviewing it in slightly different parameters than usual.
I'll be looking at the book on how it stacks up in these three categories: Voice, Formatting, and Content.
VOICE
The author sounds like a person (as opposed to a bunch of personified tables and graphs). 
The author definitely has a sense of humor which, thankfully comes across as refreshing instead of trying too hard. He provides a nice break from a topic that had a high chance of information overload.
Formatting 
Speaking of tables and graphs, the book had a few, though they are well placed, aptly explained and not distracting.  There are however random reviews and endorsements from other readers scattered throughout the book which I could do without.  
I'm all for reinforcing my decision to buy the book, but there is a place for that, primarily on the back of the book as blurbs or on the online sales page...not in the book...my only minor gripe as the reviews are often smack dab in the middle of the content.
Content
Speaking of content. It's fantastic as I'm sure you guessed from my intro. Now as I write this we are in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. The stock market continues to fall, and people are spending more and more time at home causing what businesses remain to lose even more money, creating further drops in the stock market which...you get the idea.
Nevertheless, this book still applies. It's not all about investing in the first place, in fact, that's only a small part of it. If you were to follow this book's plan step by step before this crisis, then you would most likely have made it through this trying time relatively unscathed.
Value Grade: Strong Buy! 

What's great about the book and plan is that it's completely customizable to the needs of the reader. It fits your lifestyle...not the other way around.


I know things are scary at times. But thankfully if you adapt the plans in the book to your situation you will undoubtedly be better off because of it. 
This book has been a huge resource in getting my personal and business finances in order. If you agree or disagree feel free to leave a comment or shoot an email to contact@dicebookpublishing.com
