While the eight recommendations were fair, none were revolutionary to someone who had already read several personal finance books. The author's tone was annoyingly casual, with repeated agitations to read his prior books. The majority of the book's pages were filled with anecdotes from the author's personal finance clients, 'in their own words', which were repetitive, frequently off-topic, and unnecessary.
