Book Summary: The Wealthy Barber
The Wealthy Barber
Description
From the beginning of the book I learned that it is very important to live the golden rule of wealth. The golden rule is to invest at least ten percent of your income for long-term growth. If you follow this rule it will make you a very wealthy person. During the middle of the book I found the scenario with Roy and Brain really interesting. They are brothers and they decided to buy a house together and fix it up and rent it out, they made it seem really simple to make an investment, split up the work, and find someone to lease from them. They stared feeling really comfortable about their finances. Towards the end of the book I found the part about retirement was very interesting, I even had my mom read

    I start reading this book with bad mood. I hate to read books, especially the book not written by English. It will always be a disaster for someone to read the book that not written by their first language. However, this book really blows my mind. Bod Focazio and his special style of humorous told me this is a knowledgeable and fun book. This book gives me a lot of things that will be used in the future; this book really is a guide to me. One day, if I could be a successful person, this book really played an important role for that. A great gift to his dad and his dad must be very proud of him.…

    The Unnatural Act of Leadership, Book Review Essay

    In the first few pages I found myself so caught up with the character development that I quickly lost sight of the big picture. I mean how could I be expected to believe that any one person could accurately describe an entire management team with such accuracy. Richard Thompkins’ descriptions and predictions were almost humorous. His intuition into his co-workers was uncanny. From their personal relationships to the weaknesses in one fail swoop. I wanted to meet Richard myself. As the story developed I later appreciated the lack of filler material as the characters were introduced and it also made for a quick refresher when I was trying to predict who was going to be effected next by Brent’s plans.…

    Our America Book Report

    They opened up and told people what they experienced on an everyday situation. The best element of the book was how the boys talk and explain things. They were always cracking jokes and explaining it there way and how they viewed it. Thats why this book was very enjoyable. Some negative aspects of the book was that they talked about the Ida B. Wells half way through. If they talked about the Ida B. Wells a little sooner they could get more detail in before the end of the book. In the beginning it sounded like more of a memoir of their life until they talked about the Ida B. Wells. Thats how they could make book better and those are the negative aspects about the…

    I enjoyed this book thoroughly and always kept me intrigued until the end. It had small twists in it that were rather easy to interpret but it was also very interesting. I don’t particularly relate to this book, although situations that I’ve endured have changed my perspective on life, in a positive aspect, and made me unprejudiced and versatile and not so…

    Analysis of Paul Beatty's "White Boy Shuffle."

    The biggest thing I noticed from this book is the character development. This book is based on the character Gunnar Kaufman's life, so of course character development is needed since everyone changes drastically from elementary school to adulthood. Beatty, though, almost turns that development into an art form. Every event that happens to Gunnar adds to his personality in the book and affects his actions for the rest of the story.…

    Honestly, at first, when I was reading the book, I was so confused and bored out of my mind. But then, you get closer and closer to the ending where you want to keep reading to figure out what happens next and all the pieces just seem to add up together. Therefore, once again, I fully recommend…

    The Accidental Buddhist

    When I first started reading the book I had a hard time following it, I think it was because I just didn’t understand his style of writing at first. I think part of it may have been his use of words too. I didn’t really care for the term “monkey mind”, I felt that it was very redundant and became very distracting to me throughout the book. I also felt that he was self-indulgent throughout almost the entire book. Also, I felt like he put his daughter and wife on the back burner in his endless pursuit of liberation. I had made a note of this upon my reading the book. I then scribbled it out thinking that it may have not been important in the paper, but the book later pointed out that he realized his neglect of his daughter and wife in his pursuit to the answers of American Buddhism. I’m sure that Dinty Moore would assert that it was not selfish however, since we are all one and the same and there is no definite separation of individual except in the mind. I think overall it was a good book though; he made a lot of good points that seem very relevant in my life at the current time which I though was very interesting. He points out that instead of focusing all time and attention on retiring, and getting that certain job, or certain promotion; one needs to focus on then here and now, the little things of life. This really applies to the fact that I get so caught up in my work schedule at Chili’s and feel like if my boss changes my schedule it is a reflection of my performance and is enough to make me not even want to get out of bed. Reading this book actually helped me see things as minutiae, minor details, and I actually laughed about my work situation. I get so caught up in grades and work that life will pass me by if I’m not careful. The fact is the manager was giving me a break because I work six days a week and he knows how much I put into my academics as well; it…

    Who Is Sinclair Lewis Babbitt

    One fact I obtained from the book is that not all rich people enjoy their lives. As portrayed in Babbitt, the characters are miserable with their lives. They have wealth and status but not true happiness. This changed my view on history. I thought this issue of finding happiness in wealth was just going on in this generation. Now I know that this issue has been going…

    The Google Story

    Well, I really like the book, most of the chapters are good but if I have to choose, I will say two chapters liked more than the others “Divide and Conquer” and “Aprils Fool”. I am going to talk first of “Divide and Conquer”, at the begging of the chapter Larry Page said something that caught my attention “We started this company because we were unhappy with the current search technology and if we succeed, that just will be a great side effect” . When I read it I was amazed because most of the people think first what they receive for doing something, in this case Larry and Sergey just care to satisfy their need and other users…
