• Buy or not to buy?
  This is a question in fact, why YOU are reading now this. And instead of hoopla review, I want to be helpful, because, maybe next time your review will be helpful to me.
  There is one more book that has just about same content, and you must consider it, if you want to buy this kind of reading. Here it is: Richistan: A Journey Through the American Wealth Boom and the Lives of the New Rich

All in all it was a decent book, and what you'll learn is that if you want to have billionaire status you need to have drive and determination as well as be a workaholic.
