This has so much information. I had my eyes opened to things that I had never seen before in my mind. And it all makes so much sense. It makes you wonder why it is not common teachings to everyone.

A fantastic, well-balanced primer to new financial concepts

This book is a great primer to the concept of generating cashflow from your assets, as opposed to simply earning income and growing more and more in debt. It seems to be such a simple concept, yet it's not something that is generally taught in schools, or passed down from a lot of parents in America. Most of us are always told to get a steady job with secure benefits, which is fine for most and certainly admirable, but this book is really eye opening towards the idea of financial freedom for those who wish to take charge of their lives and pursue a path that is different from the norm.
That said, this book is not a manual or even a road map for landing on the right-hand side of the cashflow quadrant (as a large business owner or investor). It is more of an introductory guide to what it means to be financially free. It goes into detail about how to classify your current state of financial affairs, how to make goals to get to where you want to be, and how to get your feet off the ground towards that end.
I must say, sometimes this author strikes me as a little odd. For example, in one section of this book, he asks you to make a list of the six people you spend the most amount of time with and their current financial status. He states that when he started out on his path to great wealth, he listed his wife and five close friends. Now that he has achieved great wealth, only one name from that original list- his wife- is someone he is still close to (though the others remain "dear friends"). He then goes on to talk about one friend of his that made millions of dollars, but went bankrupt. The only reason, he says, that he still spends time with that person is so that he has a "reverse role model."
That was the only questionable section of this book, and aside from that, it is a quick read that is well worth your time and consideration.

Good cash flow principles on how to use current assets to making income. Lacking a bit on how to acquire income-making assets, but you can combine this book with others like Investing Without Losing (ISBN: 0978834607 NOT on amazn, on other stores) to make a comprehensive book.

Enlightening. Mind shifting. A great book if you want to look at your life different and take some of the lids off of your beliefs. Worth the money for anyone who wants to live financially free without someone trying to give you some kind of formula to follow. This book is all about finding the financial freedom through yourself.
