This book will not make you rich...

This book sounds too good to be true: millionaires (or more accurate, "high net worth" individuals) sharing their success "hacks" with you. It is divided into four parts: 1. Big ideas (innovation), 2. Mogul mindset (attitude to help achieve success), 3. Making it happen (strategic hacks) and 4. Winning wisdom (general statements). According to the author, this book is based loosely on Napoleon Hill's "Think and grow rich".

This book is a quick read. Especially part one and two didn't contain anything of substance, most of the so-called hacks are very generalized or impossible for the common man to achieve. One example of this is Tonino Lamborghini, son of Ferruccio Lamborghini (creator of the famous sports car), who decided to use his famous name to build luxury hotels for which people would spend a lot of money. Right there's a useless hack if I've ever seen one: most people don't have a famous name or the money to build luxury hotels. Other "hacks" include "paying yourself first" or saving 50% of your paycheck, things that should hopefully be a given for most people. I did like a few of the tipps in part three and four, which is why I'm giving the book two stars instead of one. So, to sum up, this book will likely not make you rich, unless you already have money to spend. It's up to you if you wanna spend money on buying this book.

This is a compilation of one-page "wealth hacks" that show how businessmen came up with clever ways to start huge businesses. For example, wealth hack #3 is to bring ideas from other industries into your business. It says "a browning banana = an empty airplane seat = $$". Then there's a little profile of how the founder of Priceline realized that empty airplane seats could be sold the way "distressed" food items were sold at discount grocery stores, since once the plane takes off or the banana is rotten it's worth nothing. This is a good point, but this is only useful if you're the kind of person who either has millions of dollars to start a company like Priceline or have good enough credit or family connections to borrow it. The average person does not have the capital to start most of the types of businesses profiled in the book. It's great advice if you have access to starter money and want to start some sort of huge company like Paypal, but does not really apply to other ways of building wealth that are realistic for everyday folks.

My rating system:
1 = hated it
2 = it was okay
3 = liked it
4 = really liked it
5 = love it, plan to purchase, and/or would buy it again if it was lost

I read a temporary digital ARC of the book for the purpose of review.

Amazing and inspiring content. I have read it in one go and want excited about each new chapter. The chapters are called wealth hacks and they are, in fact. Each one represents a separate story on how to bring any wild idea to life. It has examples of crazy ideas and not so crazy ones implementations. This book is the one to get back to for motivation and inspiration for any person who aims to change the world regardless at a small or large scale.

This is a book deciphering psychology and hacks needed to become successful and hence also rich. Based on interviews of super rich it tries to extract simplest hacks that each of them has to offer.
.
Book is simple, very interesting and informative. Small chapters make it a pacy read which a bibliophile may read in single sitting. I read it in single day.

There is lot of useful information from lives of millionaires and I found lots of new stuff that I had not read before.

It is quality of a master to simplify complex things and present them in simplified ready to use manner.

Although few hacks are typically obvious like learn new things, take risks, don't run after money but still there is lots of new stuff and inspiring success stories.

It is divided into four sections focussing on ideas, execution, mindset and wisdom.
There are no put off stuff typically found in selfhelp books; like repetition, fancy slangs or too much research data.

Very good book that has potential to be a bestseller.

Thanks netgalley and publisher for review copy.

Wealth Made Easy is a short inspirational read for people just beginning to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams.

Thirty-eight successful entrepreneurs share seventy-four wealth hacks to riches. Some of the hacks are extremely basic, like “find a need and fill it”. While other hacks are complex, like the biggest lie is “follow your passion and the money will follow”. Some just make sense, like “make your money work for you” through usually passive income streams (i.e., rent or other monthly fee). Many of the hacks are just brief summaries requiring reading another book that is referenced. My personal favorite is Wealth Hack #1, “buy dirt”. It is very specific about how to determine what dirt to buy. It makes perfect sense but I’ve never heard it before despite getting 55% through an MBA before switching to a different major.

Most potential entrepreneurs will find a motivational idea or two within these pages. If you have already read all the books about building wealth or businesses at your library, this may just be a review. However, it is convenient to have it all in one place. Most business creation books have a large quantity of filler or examples just to get the book to a certain page length. Wealth Made Easy does not. It usually only has one example for each hack and the entire book is about 200 pages. Overall, this book is recommended for its motivational appeal. 4 stars!

Thanks to BenBella Books and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.
