I think that when it comes to reading books, I'm a bit schizophrenic (not clinically, though). Most of the time, I can muster enough focus to just sit through a book and read it, especially if it's stimulating or challenging. I honestly could have read this book in one day, but I was awash with procrastination and laziness. Simply put, I wasn't really encouraged to finish this quickly.
I read the last quarter of the book tonight simply because I wanted to distract myself from the Miami Heat loss today, which seems to have adversely affected my mood. I guess I am rooting for them to get to the Finals.
Most of this book makes sense: to become a millionaire takes a lot of grit, hard work, persistence, and perceptiveness regarding the up and coming needs of people, which changes all the time. The advice is also ordered, and I have no qualms with it.
There are problems, however, with the datedness of the work, and I can point this out because I'm a medical doctor. It encourages the intake of uric acid (although also warns that there have to be more studies on it), which is definitely a no-no.
"Is uric acid really the power-packed additive that makes a 440-volt source of super-charged energy out of a low voltage human battery? ... The men and women of my acquaintance who manifest a high energy potential are known also to have a high level of uric acid." (p. 183-184)
No, sir. A high level of uric acid makes gout, which is extremely problematic to those who do not regulate their diet, especially past the age of 30.
The book, however, also advises discernment, which is absolutely necessary while reading books like these. :)
