Introverted Bear

Dear author, do not read this review. If are not the author, please continue.

This book is dripping in privilege and lacks nuance. It seems really gimmicky. I gave up after chapter 2, and then I started skimming and skipping around.

"Our attitudes to money directly define whether we are wealthy or just getting by." Yeah. It has nothing to do with the fact that businesses constantly screw over the working class so they can make more profits to give to the shareholders. Yeah. Okay, makes sense.

"Money has a magically fluid way of flowing towards those who are the most creative, positive and persistent about getting it and ebbing from those who are not." Yeah, okay. Has nothing to do with inheritable wealth. Cool. Donald Trump went to University of Pennsylvania because he had a dream and not because his dad paid off the school with a huge donation.

"In these situations, opportunities for money just seem to show up without the same sort of grind."FAIRY MONEY CAT IS REAL. REBLOG TO GET MONEY.

I've looked up her social media, website, and fivepointfive.org, and I've gone to the websites of people in her case studies. I'm generally unimpressed because it seems like a lot of these projects have been abandoned. How can it be a success if it's not active?

This book is full of misplaced hope that isn't useful in the practical sense. The author does provide some very basic, black-and-white checklists, but I don't think these checklists are very useful.
