If you are starting you journey with investing in stocks, bonds and funds and you have been following the investing section on this blog you need also to read this book if you havent read so far. I’ve been recommending this book in the investing section couple of times and now it is the time to review this book.

This book is the must read book for anyone who is starting with investing, are investing or just want to know more about investing. And Warren Buffet says that this book is the best investing book so far, and if Warren Buffet says that you gotta read it if you are interested or are investing.

This book explains a lot about investing and you should look after while doing research for best investment companies and what not to do. But the author gives us also history lessons about makes stocks go up and down and how the stock markets was doing in the past so that we can take notes from them and learn from them so that we can avoide losing a lots of money.

There are many parts of this book which feels like it is way too hard to understand but be patient it will at some point make sense and you will be greatful that you have read this book.

If the stock markets going down scare you then you need to read this book because it explains that stock market which is going down isnt that scary as you may think it is.

This book goes much more in depth than my investing posts do so if there are some things that are unclear from the posts I’ve written about investing then read this book.

You will find this book to a big help with understanding the stock market and everything which I myself and other investing creators on the internet are talking about.

This book really shows why many people fail in investing and lose a lots of money. This book shows that investing is much more important than many people might think it is. And that there is much more in investing than just buying and selling stocks, bonds or funds.

I give this book 5 / 5

This step-by-step guide to luxury lifestyle design teaches = How Tim went from $40,000 per year and 80 hours per week to $40,000 per month and 4 hours per week. How to outsource your life to overseas virtual assistants for $5 per hour and do whatever you want. How blue-chip escape artists travel the world without quitting their jobs. How to eliminate 50% of your work in 48 hours using the principles of a forgotten Italian economist. How to trade a long-haul career for short work bursts and frequent “mini-retirements”

If you are just starting out with bussiness books then this book is one of the first once to pick. Because it is easy to understand, and for you to enjoy this book you dont need to know anything about how to get from your full time job to just work couple of hours a week for around the same money.

However I need to point out that the effect of this book is like being trapped in a room with a manic-depressive during the manic part of his cycle. Because it goes from “I was so sad and bored of my life” to “I make more now in a month than I did in a year in the full time job”.

For the most part this book only covers that = 1. You’re a game changer and a rule breaker. 2. Quit checking your fucking email and get off the computer. 3. Outsource everything–even your soul. It’s all about you. 4. Retire, vacation, go mobile. 5. Tim Ferriss is an jerk.

There are parts where this book is super interesting and you will get much out of this book. But there are also parts of this book where you will be like “Wow, the author is a douche”. Because there are parts like “hire a assistent cuz you will not be able to do it at your own”.

Dont get me wrong here, because there are parts of this book which are good and will make you think. There are also pretty decent amount of knowledge. You will get a lots out of this book if you just starting your journey with bussiness books and the self development books. But if you have read a lots of business books you will not get much out of this book because this book involves a brief summary of the other business books which are much better than this one.

The challenges which are in this book, are okay. But pretty much a lots of them are lame or just not worth doing. Because one of these challenges are something like “for the x amount of days you cant read anything but fantasy books and my book. No news, no horror books. etc”.

This author makes some good points in this book, but he could have explained them better than he actually did. Because some people need more explainations than others.

Dont be confussed that this book wil teach you how to be a millionaire because it will not. This book will somehow teach you that wealth isn’t all about money, it’s about creating time to do the things you love.

I give this book 3 / 5

Trump in action aka how he runs his business and how he runs his life. He meets the people he needs to meet, chats with family and friends, clashes with enemies, and changes the face of the New York City skyline. But even a maverick plays by rules, and Trump has formulated eleven guidelines for success. The Art of the Deal is an unguarded look at the mind of a brilliant entrepreneur and an unprecedented education in the practice of deal-making. It’s the most streetwise business book there is—and the ultimate read for anyone interested in achieving money and success, and knowing the man behind the spotlight.

I know that this guy seems drunk or high out of his mind most of the time based on the things he had said or done for the past 30 years. But this book is actually amazing and it shows how an amazing business man he is. 

This book is half autobiography and half bragging as you can expect from Donald Trump. But it is still 100% interesting, I personally dont Im a fan of his or fan of politics however I couldn’t stop reading this book.

This book will give you some good business lessons that are simple but people forget about them. So far this book is one of the best business books for beginner which you can read. 

No matter if you like this guy or not you will most likely learn something from it. Because it really shows that wealthy doesn’t happen overnight but rather throughout the years. 

This book is both very interesting and very engaging. Dont forget that Donald Trump is a showman and a very good business man. 

For the most part this book is a hands-on approach to your business mixed with very good advice, making your intentions known to the public and waiting until things fall into the right place for you to move with your plans.

However this book involves a lots of talk about Trump was dealing with licensing and zoning boards which gets boring after sometime. 

There are also many times in this book about him calling people up personally, and how these people were often happy to have that done. And there are also times in this book where he is choosing the marble for the floors or brass for railings, even taking an interest in air conditioning and piping.

For the most part this book is a good book even 30 ish years after it was written and published. 

If you are one of these people who wants to understand his early business background and influences better then this book is for you to read. 

In this book Trump discusses some of his early project in depth and concludes with a summary of which deals were successful, which ones were not, which ones he had to rework. 

This book is definitely a classic and a must read book in the business field. 

In this book Donald Trump is pretty honest about the early deals and business he has done. 

This book contains a lot of wisdom and knowledge that can be applied to in making various business deals but also in life in general. It will also give you knowledge about how to treat others and also about marketing yourself and your skills.

I give this book 4 / 5

Rich Dad Poor Dad is Robert’s story of growing up with two dads — his real father and the father of his best friend, his “rich dad” — and the ways in which both men shaped his thoughts about money and investing. The book explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to be rich and explains the difference between working for money and having your money work for you

This is a business book, which more or less will give you an idea about how to get a better finical control over your life. This book may motivate you, but actually learn more about economy and how it works. 

There are some parts of this book where some people may think that Robert Kiyosaki is trashing highly educated people and the working class. But this isn’t the goal with this book, this book is written for people who wants to learn something but if you have negative attitude against this book or against learning something new possible then probably you misunderstand this book and think that the author is trashing highly educated people and the working class. 

This book may make you excited for learning more about about your financial future, which it needs to get a point for. 

This book also makes some points about how much the education system sucks now on days. Because students are learning about working for some else, and how to be the perfect lawyer, doctor, car mechanic etc. But the truth is that not ever student will be a lawyer, doctor or car mechanic.

However the investing advices in this book are pretty poor, because it the author makes it seem like investing in real estate and stocks like a very easy thing, but I can tell you (as someone who is for the moment learning about investing) that it is much more into investing than this book shows. 

But this book isn’t only about money, it is also about how we are taught to think; how we are programmed by schools, family, and friends to look at the rich as greedy no good bloodsuckers and opportunities as risks. 

This book makes us think about why we actually buy more clothes, jewelry etc than we actually need. But it also makes us think that the best way to actually make some cash is when we pay ourselves first. 

If you read this book close enough, you will notice that the best thing we can do is not giving up on our dreams and just find other ideas on how to achieve our goals.

The writing style is very simple, the whole book is about a very complicated topic but this book is written in a such way that everyone will understand almost everything. 

Many people will find this book hard to get into or something similar because you need to have some kind of motivation to read this book no matter if the motivation is about getting rich or simple just to learn something. 

This book have a lot of negative opinions but not think about them if you want to read this book, because every big idea or a popular person have these. Elon Musk have them, Jeff Bezos have them, Eminem have them, Kanye West have them, Barack Obama have them etc. I would give the advice to just read this book and make up your own mind. 

I give this book 5 / 5
