review 1: It was nice hearing another one of Randy's books and seeing the future through his eyes with all the challenges and opportunities it's supposed to present. But "Why you're dumb, sick and broke" is still my favorite - bahnbrechend. It really changed my way of thinking and how i view the world two years ago. Guess i'd be reading it again soon - I'm sure there's much more in this book I didn't get back then. I'm not that much into futuristic scenarios, but there was still enough of Randy and his philosophy in Risky for me to enjoy it. There's a chapter on selfishness again, named 'Selfishness Is the New Altruism', which i particularly like. Randy's a contrarian - he views things otherwise than most people do and being "selfish" is one of those things. In order to give you sha... morell first have. Most of us tend to put others on first place and to sacrifice our needs and wants 'because of our families, etc'. Whereas one should first take care of their own needs, in order to take care of and help others, he says and it perfectly makes sense to me. It's all right to do charity and help others as long as it's your conscious decision. And it's not all right to view your life as a service to others and neglect yourself completely.
review 2: This book simply confirms what savvy, smart and contrarians already do; take a risk and believe in themselves. At just under 140 pages this book doesn't share anything new that you wouldn't have figured out for yourself if you are a confident, intelligent person. If Gage is making his money being a 'prosperity coach' then there are lots of insecure people out there; far more than I would have imagined. Find those things that make you happy, do your research, find a wise mentor, trust your instincts to follow what you are good at. If your heart is telling you to take the risk than do it. There.. all that said and you don't have to pay $25 for it. less
