A must read for everyone particularly those in small business and investing

Most people as employees and those who run small businesses are clueless about the various ways by which we can minimize taxes and maximize profits. People focus too much time in the E and S quadrant trying to make more money while not realizing that they are going to just pay more taxes and get into more debt, a…

I would have like to learn more about structingnthe LLC's in pro-business states ...

Decent book but 3 times longer than necessary. As other reviewers mentioned, you end up waiting for Tom to reveal a secret that he forgot to reveal. I'm not an accountant and don't play one on TV but many of the strategies seem unethical and barely legal. Others are simply so far out in left field for me (become a day…

Having been in the electronics industry for my entire career and a Ham Radio Operator, I picked up this book to better understand the biological link to electronics & RF. It certainly is thorough, and I have experienced some effects of RF on my person. No harm done, but I could feel some of the effects. A great…

Depression is Gone

I have been addicted to caffeine as long as I can remember. At five I remember being elated when my dad would bring Cokes home for me and my brother to drink. As a ten year old I remember drinking Pepsi, Coke, Mountain Dew, and Dr. Pepper. Most days I would go through 3 or 4 cans of soda each day. When I entered…

The author backs up his ideas with....nothing.

No studies to back up what the author states. Lots of promises that "studies show". But he never shows such studies.

This book is a gift

I first learned about EMFs from Mercola (and Bryan Hoyer) on a podcast. I didn't know it when he introduced them that I was suffering from overexposure and that I had become, or maybe always was, ehs (electrically hyper-sensitive). I want to say that Mercola and his information was instrumental in saving my quality of…

This book is just the right thing to get you in a heap of trouble. If everything goes like it has for the past fifteen years (up and to the right while the government prints money), and you have utmost confidence that you can pick the winners, then you'll be great.

Shaky advice for ordinary investors.

Page 6 indicates the author doesn’t appreciate book reviews from smart people. He implies they “already know everything”. This told me that the book is intended for a gullible, financially unsophisticated audience. I don’t already know everything, but I can detect a thinly veiled con when I see one. Beginning on…

So Disappointed in This Book on EVERY Level.

Absolutely terrible in my opinion. I've been reading loads of books on the subject of alcoholism and also on the side of a loved one and how to cope. This practically makes the loved one (me) feel like they should walk around on eggshells and accept everything their alcoholic partner throws at them. I can't take this…

I didn’t learn much from this book, but it was still thumbing through for some basic info available anywhere. All this info can be found on chat GPT.

This is a huge guide to various tax breaks that the IRS allows for the 2020-2021 tax years. It is huge and covers nearly any break you can possibly think of. If nothing else, it may spur you to think about ways to shelter your money from taxes.

Not enough details to be useful

The author claims how to reduce your taxes but never gives you an actual system to execute. All that it provides is a glance through 100s of tips that without the system are useless. CPAs might benefit from it but not not for anyone else. Ah and to the author, please make peace with the IRS. You are wasting 62 pages…

This is one of the books I've used to quit caffeine.

But the evidence is there, and this is one good option. I recommend reading this after some initial research into…

Like Carr's never drank a cup in his life

Allen Carr's quit smoking regimen is wildly successful. Way I see it, he's built an empire there and sought to expand sales to all addictions - but not all addictions are equal. It's like his reps said "OK Allen, tomorrow's topic is caffeine - put something together overnight" and he did, having never drank coffee…

Not for me

First off, I’m a cynical person so this might not apply to everyone. But this book made me want to smoke, so I did and I haven’t looked back. It made me realize my addiction isn’t as bad as I thought it was. This book is trying to paint pictures that don’t exist for most of us, I felt like it was speaking to someone…

How to Quit Porn

Basic but helpful

Nothing revolutionary or particularly well written here. However it is a decent meta-analysis of some of the data about porn and quitting. Only the last section is about actually quitting porn. And that was mostly just a reprisal of Charles Duhigg's book: The Power of Habit. Points go to Brett McKay for his…

I don't like the way the author assumes every man is heterosexual

I don't like the way the author assumes every man is heterosexual. Porn is a huge issue for gay men and something geared towards us would be very helpful. All this talk about men being with women and the underlying assumption that this is how it is was quite distracting and annoying. At least put a an acknowledgement…

No actionable information. Nothing secret.

Sometimes you get a misfortune of paying for a book and instead getting a brochure filled with long-winded sales pitch for author's websites and other products. Practically every chapter in the book ends with a paragraph or two urging the readers to click the link to the author's podcast or website, or download…

Don't waste your money

I love the YNAB website, app, and overall method, but this book is a waste of a dollar (that should have been given another job). It just regurgitates what is already found on the website and doesn't really deal with real world examples of people's lives. The main message is that all your cash should be used to pay…
