Wealth Exposed: This Short Argument I Overheard Made Me A Fortune… Can It Do The Same For You? by M.J. DeMarco

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It’s a great short story.

Wealth Exposed has an excellent book cover, title, and subtitle. The fictional story was impressive, and the bonuses were so good that it made me realize I have to revisit one of his previous books that I’ve read (Unscripted). I recommend this short story and would reread it. I highlighted a bunch of texts as I read through it.

Unscripted: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Entrepreneurship by M.J. DeMarco

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Excellent.

This book is a fantastic resource that I will refer to again and again. I highly recommend it to readers who enjoy finance and self-help books. The book cover is spectacular, and the book blurb is catchy. While reading through it, I couldn’t help but feel that this book is too long. But when I finished it, I felt relieved and accomplished. I recommend getting only the paperback or hardcover versions of this book. I underlined and took a lot of notes along the way.

The only reason I rated this four stars was because of the cursing and blasphemy.

Motivational short stories to transform your life by Mark Lyons

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Great!

The only reason I gave this four stars is that it would benefit from keener editing. Other than that, I like the book cover and the pictures in the book. While a lot of narration was used, the acronyms and stories were clever. The key points are helpful, and this collection is solid. I may reread this collection in the future. I recommend it.

The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A fantastic read.

I was surprised by some ratings and reviews from other people, but I don’t agree with them. It felt like I highlighted 75% of the eBook! I thought it was interesting, and I liked that it’s a quick read. Now, I’m going to purchase a paperback copy of this book for when I read through it again.

If finance and self-help are your thing, you’ll probably enjoy this book. I recommend it.

Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life by Arnold Schwarzenegger

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Outstanding!

This book is well worth your time if you like or are interested in self-help. Arnold is one of the best mentors of all time. His commitment, sacrifice, compassion, drive, and integrity are top-notch. I do not doubt that this book will be useful to you. I highly recommend it.

I learned a great deal about Arnold; it was eye-opening to hear about the things he accomplished. He made his dreams come true. This book is a hidden gem and is helpful.

This is one of the best books I’ve read this year!

The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


It’s helpful.

This book contains a lot of good information. Some of it was purely history and how things came to be. I enjoyed how it wasn’t too long, as well. While I will not re-read this book, I underlined the key points I may revisit. I recommend it.

The 5 AM Club: Own Your Morning. Elevate Your Life by Robin Sharma

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


If you want to elevate your life, read this book.

I have a love-hate relationship with this book. I laughed out loud when the billionaire started twerking, but it made no sense that he would do so with no music playing, just using “imaginary music” in his head. The same goes for him, tap dancing and grooving. This book was drawn out, but the lessons are invaluable. I enjoyed some twists, but a helicopter coming out of nowhere because the billionaire hit a magic button? C’mon!

I highlighted many notes while reading it, so I’ll definitely revisit them. However, I won’t re-read the entire story. I didn’t like how Robin Sharma kept referring to the main characters as the billionaire, the entrepreneur, and the artist. Why not use their names? It’s strange.

I also didn’t enjoy reading about Stone’s failure to help his daughter. The billionaire’s failure to get remarried or even date is weird, too, chiefly when you consider how much he works out. His libido should be off the charts. His issues are unclear at the end (this is the best I can do without spoiling the story).

Trump: How to Get Rich by Donald J. Trump

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A great read!

I had a lot of fun reading this book. While I didn’t agree with some things, much of the information is rock-solid. I am grateful that Donald J. Trump created this book, and I’ll read more from him soon. The pictures were a fabulous addition, and it was nice to get into Donald’s head and see things the way he did. I recommend it.

Rich Dad Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not! by Robert T. Kiyosaki

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


It’s the best self-help book I’ve read all year.

I highly recommend this book if you’re into finance or are interested in learning more about money. The important points and exercises following each chapter are helpful and informative. It was great learning about Robert T. Kiyosaki’s rich dad and poor dad. It was helpful to see and hear both of their perspectives and to hear about Robert’s journey.

I’m thankful he is helping others; this book is eye-opening and inspiring. It was a little repetitive, but it was well worth the time investment. Robert’s rules are helpful. I underlined a lot of texts as I read through this book.
