I heard the author speak on a podcast, and was intrigued by his thoughts, so I picked up his book.

I wanted to like it, but I eventually decided to give up on reading it.

It was repetitive, used superficial “studies” to support points, and tried to use case studies to convey ideas, but they felt forced and not overly interesting.

There are far better books out there on financial planning, wealth transfer, etc. I would skip this.
