Tax-Free Wealth

Finally! A tax book that lifts the veil for everyone!

There is so much I could say about Tom Wheelwright's book and still not do it justice. So many of us "common folk" have grown up fearing the tax code because it seems more incomprehensible and scary. Often, the tax collector carries the same ominous aura of dread associated with the boogie man! But, Tom is extremely…

★★☆☆☆
More motivational than educational

There are a few nuggets of wisdom worth hearing in here, but you must wind your way through massive amounts of dross to find them. The book is 75% motivational speech material and anecdotal comments; only the remaining 25% is informational. The things you will learn from this book are highly generalistic, and many of…

Very informative

Very informative, liked the way it broke down how cell phones, wifi etc. cause specific health issues. Really like how it explained EHS electromagnetic hypersensitivity and helped make sense of it all.

Simple book for beginners

I have always been aware of the possible dangers of cell phones but like most got caught up in the coveince of the technology. However I now find myself hypersensitive to 5G and was looking for solutions to protect myself from the technology. This is a simple book for beginners with no real researched solution or…

Caffeine may be the Culprit

"Caffeine is a Trojan horse. It looks like a gift but instead delivers adrenal stress, low blood sugar, mood and energy swings, fatigue, depression, malnutrition and disturbed sleep." ~ pg. 94 If you have ever had a caffeine withdrawal headache then you are probably already aware of the addictive qualities of coffee…

Perfect balance between solid science and alternative solutions

I had heard that EMFs are harmful, but I didn't realize just how harmful they really can be until a friend of mine told me his insomnia went back to normal just by shielding against EMFs. I thought that sounds pretty nuts to me, but doesn't cost much to try - and upon shielding my bedroom, my sleep improved…

Quote upon quote and unprofessional

Terrible. Too bad the author can’t write his own material. I felt this book was nothing but references to other authors and studies. No real input from the author himself. The format is awful using white text on grey or using light grey text on the off white paper used for the book. He also lacked the professionalism…

This book is just the right thing to get you in a heap of trouble. If everything goes like it has for the past fifteen years (up and to the right while the government prints money), and you have utmost confidence that you can pick the winners, then you'll be great. But if not, watch out. One good 2008-like crisis and…

★★☆☆☆
Shaky advice for ordinary investors.

Page 6 indicates the author doesn’t appreciate book reviews from smart people. He implies they “already know everything”. This told me that the book is intended for a gullible, financially unsophisticated audience. I don’t already know everything, but I can detect a thinly veiled con when I see one. Beginning on…

I got this book at a desperate time with my fiance, and the tools and techniques inside this book are life changing!

Some good suggestions but....

This book had some good suggestions but it seemed like it walked around the problem. Talking really nice to someone who is creating total dysfunction in a family is somewhat important but it does not address the real problem.

No, thanks

Last year I read Atomic Habits by James Clear, which I found to be relatively helpful in habit building. This year I read the companion workbook, which I found to be less helpful. It feels underdeveloped. So maybe skip it.

struggling to let go and move on?

This book was a game changer for me. Surprise divorce after 34 years. 5 months of pain and misery and non acceptance, anger, depression, the day after I started reading this book I turned the corner and let it go. I saw everything so clearly and I wasn’t getting good value for what I invested either. If you are…

A common criticism
★☆☆☆☆
Not a break up manual, more like a breakup pamphlet

There was some good stuff in it about testosterone, but all the rest was very short and superficial. I felt the author was slinging around scientific words without truly understanding them. The whole book seemed more like a long article intended to make you buy his other dating book.

I've been needing a book like this for some time.

Don't Waste Your Time

This book is mostly for folks in the highest income brackets, those who still itemize, and those with a business. If you are primarily a W2 earner, don't waste your time. The book is massive, but much of the text contains information about the history of deductions/credits, not just the current rules. It even…

Nice easy reading book. There are not many links to studies or researches but a lot of philosophy, psychology and advices. Definitely recommend it to all who ever failed to get off caffeine addiction.

A common criticism

It’s ok

Nothing earthshaking. I drink a latte 4-5 times a week, none on weekends. It didn’t convince me to quit caffeine. If anything it reinforced what I already knew about caffeine and its effects. One day I’ll just quit.

The author has no new insight. But he condenses the existing knowledge on the subject. More actionables would have made the book more useful.

First, full disclosure: this book is by the founder of YNAB ("You Need a Budget"), and to a small extent it's a bit of a commercial for YNAB.

I'm one for short books but this book just didn't give a lot of information.
