Blunt but has many Lessons to Teach (...) I recommend this book to many people all the time... in fact, I never see my own copy because I'm always lending it out. However when I do lend it, it always comes with a warning because like it or not, this book aggressively gets straight to the point, and doesn't sugar coat anything. There are a few times when very blunt statements are made that really make you want to blurt out "that's just mean," but it's always a true statement. The bluntness is usually there to get you to open your eyes and take something they're talking about a little more seriously than you normally would. For example, a statement something like: "If you're living outside your means, you are thinking like a poor person -most middle class people think like a poor person and only ensure that they will one day be poor." That's pretty serious words. But then the author will go on to explain why they've made such a bold and blunt statement. Although the bluntness is a little unsettling; I kept finding myself agreeing with the reasoning behind the statement. Then you find that the entire chapter can be summed up by the original blunt statement and you can easily remind yourself "Don't think like a poor person," and recall the whole chapter. I think this book was aggressive at getting its point across, and its point was worth listening to. If you can be open minded enough to listen to it, I'm sure you'll take at least one idea away with you. I've read this book 3 times an plan on reading it again. I think everyone should read this book. (...)
