As I researched the topic of simple living, this book kept getting recommended, so I bought it. However, I could not make it through the whole book without becoming nauseated by all the liberal BS woven throughout the entire book. Plus, being a financial analyst, I thought their financial schpiel was very elementary and overly redundant. I became so irritated with the authors’ liberal crap being forced down my throat that I actually threw the book in the trash can. A far better book on the simplicity movement (IMHO) is The Simple Living Guide, by Janet Luhrs.

This has to be one of the most ridiculous books I have ever read. At one point the authors ask: if money equals security, wouldn’t you feel safe walking through a major American city at midnight with a suitcase full of cash handcuffed to your wrist? If money really did equal security, you would! I stopped reading after that.
I will say, however, that this book cured me of all of my bad financial habits. I never want to be so bad off as to look to a book like this for advice again.

This is just a pep talk about saving money and reaching the “crossover point” where you can live on your investment earnings. This book is about 200 pages too long and just reycles ideas everyone has heard. Might be useful for your low IQ consumer who is up to his eyeballs in credit card debt.
However, this book proves that if an author wants to be lucrative, he should write to the lowest common denominator. So there is some value in it after all.

I was looking for sound advice. What I got was some sort of new age philosophy junk. There is very little in this book that is useful. This was a waste of money for me.
