review 1: Even though to me the title sounds super corny, it turned out to be one of the best books I’ve read since it made me adjust parts of my life immediately after reading.Message: The main message of the book was that the standard go study-get a degree-get a job-retire and be the richest man in the retirement house is a farce. This is described in the book as the slow-lane, a synonym for a life of mediocrity.Instead he describes a fasten which basically comes down to working your ass off for a couple of years and building a „money tree” of passive income so you can retire in your thirties and start doing whatever you want to do for the rest of your life.Ideas: The main ideas for me were that there is a way to live a very lavish lifestyle off of passive income which you b... moreuild up over the years where you are working. The main way for this lies within Innovation, Intentional Iteration and Internet.
And that a business plan, however expansive, is worthless without proper execution.Lessons: It is possible to get rich quick in this time and age.The book showed me the commandments that are needed to be a successful entrepreneur, how to set goals and make important decisions, and what types of businesses are most likely to succeed. The main realisations I got from this book is that money is abundant and that innovations usually do not create new concepts, but improve already existing ones.Overall I think this is a very good book for people that are interested in entrepreneurship. The author has some very strong opinions but he has good arguments to support these(he passionately describes his hatred for jobs and affiliate marketing).
review 2: Waste of time.After hearing about this book in a number of circles I finally got it and went through it and when I finished I was dumbfounded that so many people rave about it.It honestly seems like he paid a team of writers in India to put this together and then had it edited by someone and released it. Shallow, full of fluff and an absolute waste of time."Choose Yourself" by by James Altucher is a much faster read, more insightful and offers way more value. less

If you filter out the bullshit (starting from the title, of course), there are some excellent ideas.

Really made me think about how to be different than what my parents think getting rich is

A more sophisticated and honest version of the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series.
