The Key

by Manoj Shrivastava

About the Author: Manoj Shrivastava is an IT Leader who has learned the art of wealth creation the hard way. With no formal financial education in his school and college he was tied between his temptations to consumerism and his desire to create wealth for himself and his child. More often than not the temptations won over the desire. After a decade of work he had no more than 10 grands in his bank account and he got red faced when his father needed some money for an emergency and he had to deny due to unavailability of funds. Not only his parents but he too was surprised with what little he achieved. That was his moment of reckoning and he did some serious introspection. About the Book: "The Key" is the story of Sanjay and Sridhar who face some difficult situations in life and realize that it is the lack of financial literacy which have led them to this situation. Fortunately they find a mentor in Shriva and Manu who hand holds them, presents the concepts of finance in a simple and lucid manner and motivate them follow the path to wealth creation and financial freedom besides steering them out of the current situation they are facing. One of the biggest problems which individuals face when they reach the age of 30-35 is the lack of required financial knowledge to do better in life and plan for their future. This is because they have been never taught to be financially literate. They can read, write, and even have skills to earn their living but they do not have the skills to manage money.

[Sujay Malik · Rating 2 out of 5]

I got this book as an offer and made for a decent rapid read. At the outset one must applaud the author for bringing the importance of investment in our lives. For novices this book will act as an eye opener.

However for others there is nothing new that the book has to offer. I can say that this was at best a 20-30 page advisory which was prolonged into more pages probably to make it a bigger book. The investment philosophies and techniques are brought about in the form of storytelling which appears forced. The writing style and narrative is bland and monotonous.

However simply for the noble intent of the author to bringing out importance of investment in lay man's language, this book may be considered a quick glance if you have been planning for your money and future but for some reasons have been unable to do so. Otherwise you can continue your investments without bothering too much.
