Just like the Illuminatium, it is a cheap oriented copy and paste of what would be their idealistic view what the now empty temple halls called the "Illuminati" could have been if it was a new age cult with a dash of monotheism. Taking quotes from famous individuals which most have had nothing to do with the occult views or the occult school of thought at all, nor were they even close to the aspects nor understanding of such organizations in any shape or form. Not only that, they profit from others and their words and place them under a banner of an entire book of "wisdom" which is far from anything that is wise, other than writing quotes on separate pages (gotta fill those pages you know, to make it seem like it has a lot to offer with 50 pages).
It is shameful what these individuals are doing, genius no doubt but shameful, they make a shit ton of money (which I am fine with), but it is my job to point out that this book has nothing to offer, just Google "Inspirational Quotes" and you get the exact same thing. I usually don't care if people get ripped off (because that is not my problem people are fools at times [which I obviously am as well at times, so not saying I am a genius and cannot be fooled, I mean I bought this trash]), but when it comes to what I cherish, then obviously I need to step in and give my two cents.
Now if this work was called "Quotes of famous individuals which have nothing to do with the esoteric/occult studies nor this organization and we just simply want to sell it is a positive vibe which cannot be rated badly by the 'feeling' masses since it is productive to peoples lives" then I would be fine with it.
They take the money from people and hand out their Googled copy and paste summaries and give a half a page of rambling of that particular quote (people aren't that dumb... just filling pages of the book... and half of the book is just entire pages of pictures, come on people) again super smart and quick way to make money. They also try to sell you some jewelry (which oh by the way, means nothing if you don't know why you have it to begin with) and keep you in the dark with the actual studies or knowledge found with what the groups similar as the "Illuminati" are concerned with.
(And yes, I do know, I am a part of various groups and organizations which do align with the studies and purposes of the old "Illuminati" not hard to find, and quite easy to join as matter of fact... well unless your intentions are not based on a premise of balanced rational behavior)
Want to learn of the real "Illuminati" and what that old organizations made by a professors made had for intentions? Read up on Philosophy, Metaphysics and the concepts which spring forth religions, isms and all forms of thought on how to use people who are not 'awake' nor 'know thyself'. Sure this is a book great for individuals who cannot sit and read philosophy, nor work on themselves physically and mentally and just need that smoking like high from motivational vibes in a child like perspective, but I JUST NEED TO PUT THAT OUT THERE, this is NOT the REAL DEAL for those that desire the true knowledge that which is hidden from the masses. Sure if you are inspired by this and find my one star problematic, realize this, good you *claps hands* you took the first step, now buy real works that will cause your thinker to spin in circles and reprogram what is really reality. Challenge yourself and buy books that are against your views, faith and ideal of life. Learn the various forms of human thinking, learn about yourself, learn on how to think more rationally etc.
And if not and you just want a book with inspiration? Good for you! But don't land in a cult thinking they have much to offer, because for the 30+ dollars I have spent on these books I can tell you, they are fake as an fake esoteric/occult/philosophical organization and as cultish as they come.
Pretty much, to sum up, the "Illuminati" that which this is "group" is inspired upon, the maybe new mainstream new age type cult organization, has been long dead. This will not revive it, they are liars, deceivers and false teachers. Don't give them a single $, spend that 0.99$ (worth a billion more than their 15$ for this shameful creation) on Kindle for an entire collection of Plato or Pythagoras.

The Day of the Lord is Upon Us
The illusion of the world being dominated by Enlightened individuals is nothing but a gaslit fable. The ancient cultures of phallic worship stems from the serpent in the garden. The fallen (Nephilim, Raphaim, Anakim) seeds continue their spread, demanding the sacrificial Lamb to be replaced with our children. The Day of the Lord is coming and the Judgement of the wicked is inevitable, as it is written. Fire and Brimstone are underway. Revelation 5:5 (KJV) And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

Out of motivation? Seeking a goal in life? Depressed?
Read this and find solution to all of the above.
I can safely say that it's a motivational book. Each section begins with a quotation of some popular public figure and then explains that.
The book has covered a lot of aspects of life like health, wealth, knowledge & wisdom, life & death etc.
Read and boost your mind.

Good, quick read.
Many good quotes and writings. Quick to get through and sectioned off very well, so you are able to skip ahead if a particular writing doesn’t interest you.

Fine for downtime reading
Some decent quotes assembled, but nothing that you cannot find online already. The book likely will not change your life.

Wisdom but common sense
There really isn’t anything in here I haven’t read elsewhere.
It’s not worth it. Get something else. The one quote of value is "Death is the great reset."

Daily life reminders
Wise words for daily life. Many things that one could give for granted but that are definitely worth a reminder.
