Tax-Free Wealth

★★★★★
Readable, informative, reassuring (and here's a quick way to tell if your edition is up-to-date)

Very reader-friendly style that will instantly appeal to anyone who has been made to feel ignorant by their C.P.A. I've even had to question whether the "expert" was too resentful of my good fortune with a particular investment to bring himself to advise me on how to report the gain. Rather than a few basic points…

★☆☆☆☆
Absolutely no practical advice

This was an extremely painful book to read. It didnt have any advice that I could use right away. For example, he wrote "you probably qualify for a tax credit and dont even know it. " and then moves on to talk about other thing without giving any examples to back up what hes saying. He oftentimes advises you to get a…

Excellent Info on 5G

The authors do a very comprehensive expose of EMF and its dangers to the human body/brain complex... we are being exposed to too much EMF -- something that The Coming Change by Hegland also goes into and expands with reference to CoVId-19 and how the immune system reacts to patogens. Hegland also exposes the vaccine…

Not for adults. Best for Middle School age children.

The authors Daniel T DeBaun and Ryan P. DeBaun have begun a family owned business DefenderShield. This book is a marvelous marketing tool. Both the father and son, the authors, have prior experience within the telecommunication fields therefore my review will be blunt. I felt insulted after reading this book which…

Very interesting and informative. Best book I've read in a while.

I stopped caffeine and in a couple of days it had such a profound impact on how I felt, I bought this book to understand what was happening. I was never a big coffee drinker, usually not more than a couple cups a day. But I must be very sensitive to it because things like anxiety and anger went away so quickly in the…

★☆☆☆☆
Not convinced

This ended up in The trash. Don’t tell me there are 700 things in caffeine that are so toxic and not list a single one. Is caffeine addictive?Probably. Is it worse than alcohol or weed? I doubt it. Choose your poison. We all have our vices. If you cannot moderate, than abstaining is probably best if you have high…

Ideal for anyone new to this toxin but also very up to date for those of us who have been studying it a while

I already owned about 20 books on EMF health effects, as it is an important topic for me. I knew this one would be different after hearing Nick's interview on EMF Warriors. Being able to see a lot of the book via Amazon also helped me decide to buy 3 copies. One to gift, one to keep and one to share with the many…

Excellent knowledge for the rest of us!

Excellent read! This book covers many of the great strategies used by sophisticated investors. A must read if you're tired of paying taxes, want to accelerate your income, and desire to be a better steward of your hard-earned dollars.

A common criticism
★★☆☆☆
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…

4.5 Stars - Highly Recommend- Will Buy Copies for My Kids

I was torn between 4 and 5 stars, because this book is very good. The pay no taxes part of the book is a solid 5 stars. However, I was much more interested in the buy, borrow, die strategies. Those strategies are good, including a fairly thorough explanation and use cases. But there wasn't enough explanation of the…

This could be a disaster...

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…

Get Your Love One Sober

I found this to be an excellent book to assist your love one to want sobriety or to be free of addiction. Actually, the title of the book is a misnomer because no one can get another person clean and sober. But you can set up the conditions, for which the book gives excellent examples, on how the substance abuser will…

It really is a manual

This was one of if not the best book on breakups I’ve read. It’s not a step by step, it truly is a manual— guide on how to respond to a break up and not forcing us one way or another, but showing us the paths that we will eventually cross. Because the author has already navigated the speed bumps and hurdles.. he is…

A common criticism
★☆☆☆☆
Super heteronormative weirdness

This book is seriously out of date and odd. There are standard reliable solid post-breakup nuggets that I suppose are helpful-ish... However, the weird bro-ey tone of the whole thing is off-putting and really unsuccessful. Wouldn’t spend the money on it again.

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.

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.

More like “brainwashing”

I just finished the book and I’m not very impressed. Lots of bs in my opinion. Book discussed addiction which was helpful but a lot of fluff. MJ has many beneficial attributes that the book doesn’t even mention once.

For anyone who is on the fence about porn addiction....

I don't like the way the author assumes every man is heterosexual

I don't like the way the author assumes every man is heterosexual. Porn is a huge issue for gay men and something geared towards us would be very helpful. All this talk about men being with women and the underlying assumption that this is how it is was quite distracting and annoying. At least put a an acknowledgement…

Very disappointing!

This book is very very light on actual information, which is fine, but it doesn't live up to it's name or how it's being presented. I suspect the Author is trying to use this as a way to recruit people to his other websites or podcasts where the real information is. Which is disappointing because when I pay for a…

Something about this book is off...

I'm one for short books but this book just didn't give a lot of information. The basic message of this book is to reverse brainwash yourself out of porn - but the author didn't really do any convincing.
