Meh! It’s basically a light version of 4 Hour Work Week. Don’t get me wrong it’s got great info and maybe better to start with this one and then move on to 4 Hour Work Week. But since I read the latter before I just found it repetitive. And I’m definitely underselling this one which you will realise as you read the contents below.

Few things that I did like/take from the book:
- Being guru free
- Charities exist to sustain themselves!!!! DEEP!
- When you know you need to do something ask yourself. Why should I do this? What will happen if I don’t?
- Lots of folks have a to do list/start doing list. He also recommends a stop doing list.

A Look at Conventional Assumptions

CONVENTIONAL INTERPRETATION
- Higher education trains students for a profession
- Associations and organizations exist to protect people from harm
- Religious institutions provide answers and shared experiences to members
- Charities exist to help people
- Entertainment & publishing firms ensure a meritocracy in literature, the arts, and filmmaking

ALTERNATIVE INTERPRETATION
- Associations and organizations exist to restrict our choices and enforce monopolies
- Religious institutions subdue members toward a common belief to increase their own power
- Charities exist to sustain themselves
- Entertainment & publishing firms establish a cartel that promotes mediocrity and hinder independent artists
