I read a lot of books about financial freedom and money but this one is  outstanding and amazing . For anyone who read "Rich dad ,poor dad" by Robert Kiyosaky and thought it's great this one will blow your mind. 

This book attemps to be a roadmap for getting rich quick (but not easily). 

There's definitely nuggets of wisdom in the book but the core contents could have been deliverered in half the duration, maybe less.

Is the financial plan of mediocrity -- a dream-stealing, soul-sucking dogma known as "The Slowlane" your plan for creating wealth? You know how it goes; it sounds a lil something like this: "Go to school, get a good job, save 10% of your paycheck, buy a used car, cancel the movie channels, quit drinking expensive Starbucks mocha lattes, save and penny-pinch your life away, trust your life-savings to the stock market, and one day, when you are oh, say, 65 years old, you can retire rich." The mainstream financial gurus have sold you blindly down the river to a great financial gamble: You've been hoodwinked to believe that wealth can be created by recklessly trusting in the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and the job market. This impotent financial gamble dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair -- sacrifice your adult life for a financial plan that reaps dividends in the twilight of life. Accept the Slowlane as your blueprint for wealth and your financial future will blow carelessly asunder on a sailboat of HOPE: HOPE you can find a job and keep it, HOPE the stock market doesn't tank, HOPE the economy rebounds, HOPE, HOPE, and HOPE. Do you really want HOPE to be the centerpiece for your family's financial plan? Drive the Slowlane road and you will find your life deteriorate into a miserable exhibition about what you cannot do, versus what you can. For those who don't want a lifetime subscription to "settle-for-less" and a slight chance of elderly riches, there is an alternative; an expressway to extraordinary wealth that can burn a trail to financial independence faster than any road out there. Why jobs, 401(k)s, mutual funds, and 40-years of mindless frugality will never make you rich young. Why most entrepreneurs fail and how to immediately put the odds in your favor. The real law of wealth: Leverage this and wealth has no choice but to be magnetized to you. The leading cause of poorness: Change this and you change everything. How the rich really get rich - and no, it has nothing to do with a paycheck or a 401K match. Why the guru's grand deity - compound interest - is an impotent wealth accelerator. Why the guru myth of "do what you love" will most likely keep you poor, not rich. And 250+ more poverty busting distinctions... Demand the Fastlane, an alternative road-to-wealth; one that actually ignites dreams and creates millionaires young, not old. Change lanes and find your explosive wealth accelerator. Hit the Fastlane, crack the code to wealth, and find out how to live rich for a lifetime.

Crack the Code to Wealth and Live Rich for a Lifetime

The Millionaire Fastlane

A bit pretentious and too long, but the few good bits make somewhat up for it. You can probably just read a summary and the only thing you’re really gonna miss out on is the “motivational” part.

Pretty good book to get you to re-evaluate your career and financial goals. You'll likely disagree or find the author egotistical or self-aggrandizing with how he sees the world but I think its mostly him trying to get his point across.

take-aways

- slaving away for your retirement fund is silly and really shouldn't be encouraged
- you need a large sum of money for compound interest to have a meaningful effect (obvious but an overlooked point)
- delinking your time and your value. When you get a wage you are trading 1 hour for X dollars. But you should try find a way to add a "force multiplier" so that your 1 hour of work can have lasting benefits (e.g your own business, writing a book, etc). Basically the passive income idea and making your time and/or money work for you
- he really makes entrepreneurship sound like a viable goal for everybody and treats the "risks" as equal to investing in stock market. I can't totally agree but I do find encouragement in the idea that I should invest in myself and my own efforts

It tries so hard to present as different from any other wealth creation books, while talks about the same thing yet again albeit in a much more sensationalist way. Tidbits about business criteria were good. Beyond that, it’s mostly noise and put-downs of other people’s methods that’s at the core the same as what he preaches, just that it did not come out of his mouth.

A must-read. Contains actionable advice for people who want to start a business that will supplement or even replace their core source of income (trading time for money).

Top 3 Takeaways - 
1. The money that you will make in business will correspond to how much VALUE you provide to your customer, who is in great need of your service.
2. You don't need to reinvent the wheel or make a huge breakthrough. Just identify pain-points that abound everywhere, and DELIVER the existing services with better customer service or more convenience.
3. Making money in a business - either sell your product/service at a high cost to few customers (magnitude), or at a low cost to many customers (scale).
