I came across Tony Robbin's latest book called Money: Master the Game - 7 Secrets to Financial Freedom while watching a Youtube video promoting it. This is the latest book he wrote, his last book was written 20 years ago. Being curious, I went online and looked it through and see what is different this time. Why would a motivational coach write a book about financial freedom, and is he really the right guy to even talk about it?
Tony starts the tone of the book by debunking myths around personal financial management, suggests ways of planning the reader's personal financial game, making investment decisions and asset allocation, balancing risk and return at the same time. He also shared some strategies and secrets(no books worthy of readers' time is a common book right?) : secrets of the ultra-wealthy that commoners can use too ( WOW, I gotta pay attention, might be the next billionaire!).
What attracted me was not really the steps to financial freedom, because it's such a beaten up topic.
Plenty of writers have already tackled the subject on books and financial magazines, etc. You'd remember of course, the infamous Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad and his set of financial freedom books series. It was simple and to the point: Buy assets and not liabilities into your financial freedom.
But the real interesting part of Tony's book lies here: Section 6 of his book, called "Invest like the 0.001% : The Billionaire's Playbook". I'll let you see it for yourself.

| Chapter 6: Invest like the 0.001% : The Billionaire's Playbook |
Tony set out to find out why these people are rich, and how they made it by interviewing them. By picking the brains of the most successful traders and investors in the American history, Tony hopes to give a new perspective and simple steps that everyone could follow and ultimately reach their own personal goals in life. Some sections are longer than others , ranging from 2 to 10 pages. But if we could pick one idea from each of them, we'd already have 12 to act upon successfully. It's better than we first started and could already have given you the ROI you wanted from this book :)
Final score:
Readibility : 9/10
