This book provides the necessary incentive to prepare yourself for retirement and a lot of great ideas to get you to that next step in your life.  You know a lot of this but it sounds better coming from someone who has lived it and researched the problem.

I really needed a good kick in the pants, and to realize that the brand is me.  I am already implementing many of the principles that Robert discusses, and I am looking forward to what is to come.

Reviewing this book based on how many notes I took, it's a very solid and useful effort. I know one thing, I do feel better, more mindful of my confidence and there are a few very actionable strategies to kick start or get back your mojo. For the time and money invested, it's a good read.

I have used my Avery binder(s) in hopes of getting a job like Hillary. To connect, I have submitted a photo of my full self. You know, like what Mitt and Ann wear around the house and to bed. It took 2 Avery binders because of my "full resume". I hope to get off welfare and get shoes for my kids. I feel like I've got a pretty good "in" as Paul and his wife stopped by to do my pots and pans the other day. It was at one of those expensive fund-raisers. Sorry I missed them, but I have a very busy schedule. I would have given this 5 stars, but it took 2 binders.

I'm told this could have been a little more specific inasfar as guidance; however, it's based on the author's experiences and one soon understands that it's necessary to apply the information to one's own life.  Once that light bulb goes on, it's a good read and a helpful work.  It's also very short, and that helps a lot with motivation.  :o)

A good, fast read. I knew much of what was written, especially the auto industry and Willow Run details because I grew up in that area. The main point of the book was that by simply asking industry to provide war materials and then getting out of the way, the feds were able to ramp up an incredible army in a farily short period of time. Clearly it was not quite as easy as the book explains.  I know that many political issues are glossed over here but that would take many more pages.

It is inconceivable that such as effort would succeed today. To take one example, when Kaiser built the shipyards in Richmond, he did not have to fill out an environmental impact report, no one cried over the fate of the three-legged, one-eyed, quarter-inch flea whose habitat was bulldozed, there were no protests to ensure that minority and women-owned businesses were employed by the contracts, the diverstiry police were not haranguing Kaiser to have proportional representation of women and minorities in the executive ranks, and so on. This same effort would likely take 5 years or more just to get the paperwork done and then there would be more lawsuits holding it up.

This book was the kick in the pants I needed to change a few things in my life. I couldn't recommend it more. Get it quickly and read every morsel. If you feel stuck in your life, your managerial style, or just have issues with relationships in general, you need to get this book.

So you all know the first two books were like a kick to the pants. This one took a bit given the miss direction and trying to develop the grand scheme of the bad guys. But in the end you meet some nice characters and get that famous Joe ledger charm. Over all a good read and looking forward to the next.

I'm not finished with the book yet, but I love it. If you're in need of a kick in the pants, a change of pace, I highly recommend it.

The action takes place in Burma where North Korean advisors are trading training for heroin. The US having caught wind of this needs to put a stop to it. The problem lies in the fact that the operation needs to be off the books and deniable should anything go wrong. Who better to hire than former Marine Colonel John Brannigan and his team of misfits. Brannigans Blackhearts as theyve dubbed themselves proved their worth in Kadarkh, but they are going to need a few more men to pull this off.

In this book we not only meet some new faces to the team, but we also learn a bit more about the original plankholders. Id say Peter Nealen gets a bit more into his groove with this book, and really allows us to know and differentiate the team members. This is an improvement from the previous installment and becomes a bit more important later in the book.

 This mission the blackhearts are on is a lot more perilous than Khadarkh. They are deep behind enemy lines to the tune of several thousand miles, and the closest friendly country is still a non-permissive environment for a group of mercenaries on the run. The buildup is quick and the action fast paced. Peter Nealen knows how to write an action scene and the action in this book does not disappoint.

The Blackhearts are well trained and equipped to some level of modernity, but the North Koreans are a Determined and Disciplined enemy. The North Koreans are in town to advise the Kokang Peoples Army, a nominally communist movement that is at the head of the heroin trade. The Kokang army has one thing that may prove to be a challenge to the Blackhearts more than any weapon they could put against them.

All in, I give it a 5/5. It much exceeds what I expect out of a pulp novel, and what more could you ask for?

Not too bold, but enough to give my morning a little kick.

Had some good points.  I had read that there was a lot of self promotion and things you have to look out of the book for, but I wasn't prepared for the magnitude of self promotion that was going to occur.  I can summarize here:  Get up in a habit of getting up an hour earlier.  Spend that hour focusing on yourself and exercising.  Work toward your goals.  Have a better day.

I agree with the author that these are common necessities that trip folks up for attracting what you desire in life. If there is a down side it's actually having to do the personal work to make it happen. Let me tell you both are worth it.

Excellent fit, although my wife says the crotch section is a bit tight. Claims she can "see my religion". It has been a common theme with me, though. It is difficult to find a pair of pants that can contain the "package" in an acceptable manner for me. Sweat pants are generally okay, but even relaxed fit jeans tend to not have enough square footage for the family! Still a great pair of pants, and public presentation is accompanied by a long, un tucked shirt!

A very good read and insightful approach to the issues related to retirement.  Given the author's association with Mr. Ramsey, I expected and would've appreciated more scriptural references.  Nonetheless, in my case, it was a much needed kick in the pants to put this portion of 'my house' in order.

I like where the author is going with this and agree to most of it, but not ready to buy into all of it. I think it needs more study, but well worth reading and considering.
