Caution upfront – this book is not for the fast paced, quick-fix, the ‘I have no time – give me everything already’ type of readers. It is a beautifully written book on life and desires with money being the highlight of the discussion. If you want a wholesome book and are prepared to spend some time pondering over it for say a month at least, then you will end up much wiser, much more thoughtful on the entire process of accumulation and spending of money. The discussion surrounds around ‘life energy’ and where you would want to spend it and how to go about achieving that freedom. There is a brilliant discussion on work and paid employment which is worth an entire article by itself. There is a also foreword by mrmoneymustache, who is considered a hero among the FIRE cirle (Financial Independence Retire Early) and who has shaped a lot of my financial thinking as well.
