Quotes in this book I liked:

💡“The key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving.”

💡”Your compensation is directly proportional to how many lives you touch.”

💡“Go looking for the best in people, and you’ll be amazed at how much talent, ingenuity, empathy and goodwill you’ll find.”

Do you know how you create a fairy-tale for the adults? You replace the names such as “the king” with the name such as “CEO,” “the princess” with “a successful entrepreneur” and you have a ready made fair-tale for adults.

I would put this book on the same level of “interestingness” as Love Yourself As Your Life Depends On It by Kamal Ravikant. By that I mean: it is not very good. To be honest I actually think it is a terrible book.

I see this book as some sort of an attempt to motivate people. People who are trapped in their jobs, have no savings and they want to do something meaningful with their lives. The problem is: This book is not providing them with any useful tools on how to improve their situation. As the matter of fact, it is just a fairy-tale without the solid foundation. I wouldn’t even say it is a motivational book.

Just go out there and open a business! Just make sure you give more than you take until you go bankrupt. This book forgot to mention: the market does not care.

Do I think that this book is a brainwashing bullshit? Yes, I do. Kyiosaki would call it a communist red book.

Why do I think that? If you want to succeed on the market you surely have to give more than you take in payment. Let’s talk about a great example. Amazon. You order a new PS 5. It arrives at your door, you complain to the Amazon it did not arrive and you get a new one. But somebody has to pay for it. Who is it going to be? Amazon? No! It will be the company working for the Amazon and consequentially the driver who is not meeting his quotas. In this case, Amazon can really offer you far more than it takes in payment. But for what price?

Now, apply it to a small business. Can you make everybody happy? Can you offer them services beyond your scope expertise and financial means? No, you certainly cannot.

My good advise would be do not read this book and do not ready it to your children before they go to bed. They might become communists.

But let’s finish with something positive. I do agree that if you have a business, you have to care. You have to have to give your best to beat the competition and if you are kind, the Universe is going to help you. But in my opinion, this book is just a summary of half-truths.

Conclusion:

As many of you know I barely give a 3 star to books I have read. The reason for 3 stars is that this book is not opening a new horizons to its reader. It forgets to name the very essential laws of business. This book is an attempt to generalise laws of success and all I can think of when it comes to this book: this is true, but … true but… 

If you want to read a fairy-tale for the adults, this is the book for you. If you want to learn something useful and new, I would advise you to avoid reading this book.
