If only the author could have titled the book as Psychology of life, it would not have gotten the attention of as many people as much it did in case of money! This talks so much about the addiction we have with money, and so rightly, it is in so many ways the medium via which we survive and thrive in the world! It decides the kind of education we will get, the friends we will end up making, whether we will be okay in bad health, sometimes whether we will get married or not! Money is one of the most important parameters of our life, how we deal with it, shapes up lot of things in around life.
The author keeps the importance of money intact while also informing of the fact that there are other things important than money! The fact that money is one of the most important medium to get to freedom, the ultimate goal for all! Because, after all, isn’t it what we all want, to do things that we want, with people we want and for as long as we want! You will find out that not everything revolves around you, and as much as we wish to say that hard work is the ultimate root for success, you cannot deny the importance of luck and risk in the same! You will find out, if you are somewhere like me, that sometimes you have to make a choice between what is right and what makes you happy!
The most important lesson could be the fact that your life is unique and the choices others make, may not fit for you and you get to choose that for you! You will find out that we are more pessimist than optimist. I could go on and on, telling you about the beauty of this book!
If you do read this book, I suggest you keep reading it again and again, like watching the same show over and over again, because what you will get out of it, is so much of wisdom on life, on making decisions, it does acts as a bible in some ways, not because it tells you what should be done, but rather gives you the vision to choose what is right for you!
ps: you can find shorts on the best lines I found while reading the book on my YouTube channel!
Foolishly Yours,
