It's interesting to read all the negative reviews of this book. Although I agree with some of what is being said about the book at times preaching for close to immoral attitude, I believe that richness in content and tools made this book a significantly insightful read and I'd definitely recommend it.
However, certainly not the read for fresh grads or anyone just starting their career; and it will probably not resonate with them.
There are lots of VERY good stuff to learn from this book.
Tim makes good job at pointing out all the beliefs that prevents us from achieving our aspirations and he does that in a fun and entertaining way.
Moreover, the book is full of resources, tools, exercises, and stories on how you challenge and move away from these beliefs.
The business tips are abundant in a well structured way.
If this book doesn't change your mindset, it will definitely make you re-evaluate a lot of your beliefs on work and life. And for me, that's what a good book should do.
One of the key insights for me was the idea that 'creating more free time is NOT the answer', because if you don't have an alternative 'vehicle of productivity' you will be more dissatisfied on the long run and you will resort to fill it with unimportant work to feel productive again.
Pages of scribbled notes lay next to me ending this book full of 'dreamlines', questions to be answered, and a decision to add more life to my life.

As someone who feels like they’re dying every morning as I enter the office, I was hoping this book would help me do as the cover claims: escape my 9-5. The first few chapters were exciting and gave me hope that things could change, I could quit my job and still survive. However, the book started to delve deeper into the logistics of being an entrepreneur like hiring a virtual assistant and automating work processes. I found this book to be catered towards a specific person, maybe someone who already knows or started their pathway to passive income. I am just someone working under other people’s thumbs and so this book felt like it skipped a crucial step of helping those like me get to where we want to go. I found myself skipping a lot of pages because the information was just not applicable yet. There was also way too much redundancy on not checking your email. I will say that I did learn some important things from this book that I wouldn’t have otherwise, such as the 80/20 rule and that mini retirements are a possible thing. I felt encouraged that one day I can quit my job and be released from my shackles. I quite enjoyed Tim’s sense of humor around office life and life in general. Overall, I’d recommend this book for someone already working on a new business adventure while still employed.
DNF. Alternative title “how to hack late stage capitalism, exploit labor, and live a life as an Instagram influencer.”
Excruciating to listen to, regret my momentary curiosity into why this guy is famous.

This is an amazing book. It really teaches you how to start thinking about a business so that you can work on the business and not in it. At first you will be spending a lot of time in it, but the end goal has to be to get out.
It also teaches a lot about outsourcing various aspects of your life which I think is really good. I still need to implement that part. But at least it has me thinking about it.

I can see why there’s still so much talk about this book.
It’s a dream for many, and this book seems to set out a roadmap.
It’s definitely motivating, and I’ll be putting many of these ideas into practice, even if just as an experiment.

A tedious humblebrag and instruction manual for becoming more selfish and misanthropic. Can't believe this author was interviewed on Freakonomics. You already know the time-management tips inside.
This book is incredible. Literally, not credible. As in I don't believe almost any of the examples in it.
