Same-o-samo. Just an excuse to make money without any substance. Lots of innuendoes and re-hashing of old worn-out junk that has been around for years. Not worth a view or the money spent.

First of all, I have read most of Kiyosaki's work. After about 2 books, it's all the same. But I like reading, and this book has been on every shelf, and it has Trump in it, so I gave it a chance.

Honestly, I almost want Robert and Donald to apologize and give me my money back. The first reason is that, like most Kiyosaki books, the content is about two pages worth. He stretches the content, works in a ton of cliches, repeates himself, and sells the book.

I know Kiyosaki's moto is not writing "how to" books, but he really should. Same with Trump. In the introduction (which is basically the first 50 pages, repeated over and over), Kiyosaki makes himself out to be a hero for wanting to share his secrets. He says that very few rich people want to share their secrets, and cites the fact that the original "rich dad" wanted to remain annonymous as evidence. I don't think that's evidence of rich dad hiding his secrets, he just doesn't want to get attention. But regardless, the point is Kiyosaki does nothing to share his secrets.

The only "secret" Robert shares with us is the same as literally every single book he has written:

-That stupid cashflow quadrant that he thinks is a stroke of genius

-He makes sure you know he hates "working hard, saving money, paying your debt, investing in mutual funds, and diversifying." Repeatedly.

-Gives the typical motivational stuff

Something that may be new is that he is somewhat defensive over rich dads existence, which has been brought into question. The book also contains about two pages of "endorsments" for his other books.

Notice I don't have much to say about Trump. That's because he only chimes in occasionally, and that's to agree with Kiyosaki.

A real shame- these two guys know so much, and share none of it with us. Instead they rip us off by using their names as selling points and feeding us fluff. The book has marginal entertainment value, and might boost your confidence a little. But it contains nothing I couldn't also read in a "Dear Ann Landers" column.

Man, who does this clown think he's foolin' - oh yeah, all those people who are dumb enough to buy his albums, that's who.  Anyways, I think this album was a ploy for P. Diddy to make more money without even having to come up with new material, I mean think about it - none of the tracks on this record are new here...it's just a bunch of the same old song but remixed with new sounds and a few extra verses added.  It's easy to see that Diddy marketed the album with one tight remix, that being "I Need a Girl Part 2" (or Part 3 or Part 4, whatever the hell part we're on now) and now the album is selling millions, and all off of a bunch of old songs.  But hey, I guess I gotta give Diddy his credit where credit is due - it was a hell of an idea.  No wonder the man's always rockin' bling-bling everytime I see him.  Anyways, if you want to take my advice, stay away from this record, otherwise, go ahead and waste your money...hey, it ain't comin' out of my pockets, so I don't gotta complain.

There is nothing new under the sun-- but most especially in regard to this somber, humorless and cryptic exercise in shameless self-serving capitalism by a  (OK-the NY Times knows that he can sell books ) 21st Century Guru Maharaji. My 60+ year old peers will remember this reference to a certain 15-year old "Perfect Master" who sold enlightenment as readily as he bought Rolex watches.

If you want to hear this very same universal revelation from a real deal Guru/California PhD, buy a copy of "BE HERE NOW" published in 1971 by Baba Ram Dass (AKA Dr. Richard Alpert).

BE HERE NOW originally sold for $3.33. I have my original copy and cherish it as one would a family bible. The difference? Ram Dass is honest, light, hip and loves you. Eckhart's pain and suffering sounds clinical and  treatable - a textbook example of Major Depression. Frankly, I couldn't get past the first 10 minutes of his $35 "audio book" without cringing. He sounds like a middle-aged "emmo"  in dire need of antidepressant therapy. I am truly glad that he had his "revelation"; he was assuredly unemployable before waking up to his real calling- a media savvy huckster.

I don't care where or how you "wake up" to the reality of existence. There is nothing new about "The Power of Now". Nevertheless, to quote my California Guru, "You can't rip the skin off a snake--it has to fall off when the time is right".

I most sincerely hope that you are ready to HEAR and AWAKEN, and not just BUY a quick fix to the unavoidable suffering that is called LIFE.

It's just a blatant plagiarism of the sambo Wikipedia page.  This book might not even be legal to sell.

Avoid it.

This is nothing but a lame attempt at exploitation and Scamming. This "e-book" is nothing but an attempt to make $$$ and extort from a reality star.
This is NOT even the actual name of the person. It IS Jackie Marie Overton.
Samuel Jacob Cooper does NOT EXIST and this can be PROVEN!

[...]

I bought this...
It is a SCAM!
I was promised a hard copy if purchased the ebook via pay pal.. I have NEVER received the hard copy.
The Publisher does NOT exist. Its a defunct company from India. This too can be proven

You know how sometimes when a big movie comes out the studio is desperate to get out as much merchandise as possible to cash in?  And sometimes this leads to God awful products.  Take this garbage for instance.  The ONLY kudos that can be given is it looks pretty.  Other than that, a giant, stinky, pile of poo.  No strategy involved whatsoever.
You roll.  You move.  You do what a card says.  You fall into a coma.
If anyone recommends this game to you, and they are over the age of 5, then you must never trust anything they ever say from then on till the end of time.  Just kidding.  But seriously....  Calling this a "game" is even a misnomer in and of itself.  Waste of time and money.

Seriously do not purchase this sorry excuse of a book. This book won't make you rich, but if you buy it then he just gets richer. That's how it works folks.

More Big Media propaganda and lies written by corporate shills. The SEC is sticking it's nose into this but I'm sure nothing significant will happen. They're all in cahoots together. It's the same old song and dance. The below information has been extracted and paraphrased from Mike Stathis' website [...].

Paulson was involved with the construction of CDOs. He knew which mortgage securities were the most useless, so he made easy money. He basically stole money from investors. What Paulson did was pure fraud. However, the SEC has decided to not bring charges against Paulson. Their reason?  He did not fail his responsibilities to his clients.  Yeah, instead, he stole money from others and gave it to his clients. I guess that's okay. Prediction: Paulson won't be touched. How do I know? Because he well-connected with the Washington crime syndicate.

Zuckerman is a corporate shill. The allegations made by the SEC demonstrate that Zuckerman is an irresponsible journalist at best, and a reckless moron at worst. His Paulson butt-kissing book has now been confirmed as a complete fairy tale, consistent with what the WSJ publishes.

The publisher should pull this useless fictional book from the market permanently.

For the real truth watch this website and specific link.

What a sham. I might as well have gone to this dude's website and saved myself the cash. Skip it.

This is like those "tutorials" you find for computer programs: after the satisfied customer stumbles through it, they know nothing.

If you read books like a goat eats dead grass, leaves, old paper and discarded rubbers, you'll read this, too, probably.

If you want to rip people off, go out and find a certified con man. Do time. This guy just burns up his word processor and your money.

"Get rich quick. Buy and sell real estate". NO! Publish junk!

This is another anti sugar book written by an individual who personally kicked the sugar habit and was born again as a sugar detox evangelist. The author's personal story would have made this otherwise bland and generic book much more interesting, but he doesn't share it.  We know that Suarez got interested in going sugar free because he got diabetes, but he doesn't bother to tell us what type diabetes.  Did he cure it? We don't know. Did he normalize his blood sugar without meds? We don't know.  Did he stop eating like a pig and lose weight? We don't know. This is a very short book that you can read in less than a half hour.  Yes, the author writes in complete, grammatically correct sentences, but there's absolutely nothing new or inspiring here. It's all been said before and more completely and compellingly by others. I got the book because it was part of a bundled package deal offered by Amazon.

Utter ! Utter ! Garbage.
I read this book because of all the 5 star reviews thinking this would "be different".  No sir I'm afraid it's not. Same old stuff. You can't get rich working in a job, you have to start a business. (Well thanks for telling me),  That without ALLLLLLLL the waffle in the book is pretty much the summation. Yes I know, why do we keep thinking someone is going to enlighten us when all they do is tell us the same thing and dress it up different. Oh well, guess some fools (myself included) never learn and keeping hoping to find that book that will give us a map to find the holy grail. When all these books do is tell you that the author is rich and you can do it to...........(rolling my eyes).......ok mr big, you're so rich the book is free right ??

The game is kind of fun the first time you play it, but after that it will soon gather dust on the shelf.  After playing the game with friends and family, I went around with the question, "Hey, You want to play Price is Right again", no takers.

The concept of the TV game show is probably something that can never be produced as a good video game.  In the TV show, if you guess the best price you get to come up on stage and play a pricing game.  With this video game, no matter how badly you guess the price you still get to play a pricing game, and do a "spin off" for the big showcase.  And even if you suck at the "spin off", you still get to do a final spin to get to the showcase.  So basicly, no matter how bad you play, you will probably end up in the showcase, which kind of makes the whole game pointless.

The pricing is difficult if not impossible to guess, for example, I had to guess the price on a bag of oreo's, ok, a couple of bucks, no it's .49 cents, it's the small bite size oreo's, they don't tell you the size of the product.  On one showcase I had a 08 Ford Mustang convertable, a Honda dirt bike, and a trip to Mexico.  Hmmm, I'd say around $30K, wouldn't you, no, $17K.  I guess the game is buying its cars and trips at Walmart.

The pricing games are pretty fun, but usually by the time you figure out how the controller and game works, your already out of time.  And of course, with the bad replay value, your probably never going to go back and try it agian.

The graphics are pretty good for the wii, and the cut videos, although a little small, are done well.  Too bad the video just stops, like you hit the pause button, when the video is over and sends you back to the game. That looks really cheap, and makes you realize that your playing a crappy game.

Graphics *** (Excellent for the wii, the video problems bring it down a bit)

Game Play ** (The pricing games are fun, but not easy to learn while the timer is ticking, The Price is Right game show concept is totally lost)

Replay Value * (I don't think I'll find anyone to play this game again)

Overall **

Just another generic "reboot".  It would be nice if Hollywood would throw this kind of money behind an original idea.  The eye candy is worth a rental, I guess.

Personal disclosure: I love Suze Orman. I am not sure why I do, but I do. It's just organic. I watch her show, and I own several of her books.

That is why, with great expectations, I bought an advance copy of her book YF&B. Now, I am not saying it's bad or anything. It's just, well, OK. If you own her other books, she doesn't really say anything that new here.

Plus, she's pandering to a "young" demographic. I'm 29yo, and it's clear she knows nothing about my life. She should just be giving advice without relying on this gimmick-y format that basically just repeats what she writes in her other books and says on her show. Her "new" advice for the YF&B generation is that it's OK to have credit card debt for new "good" debt. Ummm, duh? Having credit card debt is practically a necessity, and I didn't need Suze to tell me that.

Also, her on-line system is really poorly done. It's clunky, and the so-called personalised advice that it gives is repetitive of the stuff she writes in her book and says on TV.

Even so, if you don't own other Suze books and want a leg-up on finances, I would recommend it.

If you own other Suze books and/or watch her show regularly, I would take the money that you were going to spend on this book and give it to MasterCard.
