Everything i have read in this book i already read before, guess that me an author have the same taste.

I challenged myself to read down my own shelves this year, and this one has been there for years, so it ended up in my stack. It's okay. It does have some good information about investing in stocks, and it'll help you with actual worksheets if you're trying to determine your personal purpose statement and set some concrete financial goals. But if you're really looking to make changes in that department, read Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover instead.

Who would want to take financial advice from a guy who now lives in his mom's garage?
I know the author. I'm giving you the opportunity to not waist your money. He knows nothing. It's a scam!!!

This book is a bit odd - it ranges between complete and total fluff ("Do what you love and the money will follow.") and sensible advice. The book's first and final chapters are largely introduction and conclusion with no real points, so focus on the middle. The main things that I took from the advice, though, are the investment methods, including dollar-cost averaging, the Rule of 72 (which is incredibly handy) and the Top 10 Investment strategy (with regards to the DJIA). All around, an easy single-sitting read with a few gems swaddled in filler.

A fairly straight forward book on investing. The chapters on getting ahead in your career by making sure you give of yourself were phenomenal.

I enjoyed the book. The financial numbers he shares are dated, the financial advice is not.
