If I would have read the book, it would have made it in my
books-i-didn’t-finish shelf in few pages only. Good God!! I listened to the
audio book and to say that I was mesmerized would be an understatement. Well,
this is not any regular audio-book which is just a rendition of the content, it
is the collection of the original radio interview recordings which led to this
book. You have to listen to Mike Litman hosting radio show to understand how
mediocre and numb Indian radio hosts are. He is so full of energy, well-read
and smart that even some of the TV hosts would not be able to match up by his
side.
Ah, coming to the content side of the book. Well if you take
nine cheap self-help books having the most promising names from any of the
railway station bookstand and bind them together, it will not be very different
from the current book. The millionaires selected for this book are not any
millionaires or even the most successful millionaires – they are the millionaires
who are into motivational-speaker-and-self-help-books business themselves. And
all throughout the interviews they are establishing how their work is groundbreaking
and how they are better than others into this business. By the time you reach fourth
or fifth part, you are already sick of their know-it-all-achieved-it-all
attitude. Come on man, you are not Bill Gates or Larry Page!! Have some
humility.
The ‘millionaires’ are divided into two parts – those who coach
about success and others who profess about financial freedom. You can
definitely skip the former guys but you can still go through the latter if you
have not read any books like Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Overall, I highly recommend giving
this book a skip as well. Maybe you can listen to one or two interviews of Mike
Litman to understand to what extent he is better than the rest. Continuously
two bad books is making me want something meaty now – have high expectations
from the body language book I am reading.
