This book is packed with great information on both investing for the longer term and short term trading.  I'll be following his advice to use "paper money" to practice investing on paper first to have a better chance of success once I use real money.  I'm very impressed.  A couple of small things I didn't like was the questionable association to some of the resources he recommends.  But even if he owned them outright it wouldn't be a big deal.  He does have a newsletter that costs about $200 a year which I'll probably subscribe to.

The best thing about this book for me personally is I discovered how interesting this type of investing is to me.  I think it will actually be fun doing the research on prospective companies.

I'm about half-way through the book and love it! It's filled with practical advice that those responsible for Web content or design can put to use immediately. After a few hours, I have a checklist of changes I need to make to the site I manage. I also appreciate the author's witty style, which makes the book enjoyable as well as educational.

This book is PACKED with great advice! Seriously, some stuff I've learned (easy or hard way), some stuff I've read/heard, and some is brand new. I am currently using this as a basis for marketing and training at my retail store. The only quip I have is that because it combines SO many studies and ideas and inspiration, that it can be a little slow to read through, and I manage about 2-3 chapters at a time on my way to and from work. Awesome as a resource and should be on every marketer's shelf.

I found this book to be very easy to read and informative. Jill has an engaging writing style that pulls you in from the beginning. She gives tons of tips for living frugally as well as pointing you in the right direction if you want to work from home. I also love how she puts a lot of emphasis on setting goals and creating an exact plan for making things work. This is SO important -- I know from my own personal experience. Excellent read!

I thoroughly enjoyed Darrow's book and I have become a regular on his website as well.  In Retiring Sooner, Darrow lays out specifics of what it takes to retire years ahead of the crowd.  He is aware of which topics have been covered ad nauseam in the financial press (index investing, the "latte factor") and while he provides some basic coverage of those topics, he primarily steers the text toward valuable tidbits he has figured out for himself (or for which he has a different viewpoint.)  From his concept of a financial dashboard, to his specific recommendations for cutting costs, to his advice about how to start a business, his advice was all on the money.  So many in the financial press write about living below one's means, but Darrow provides some helpful and actionable ways to do so, as well as some interesting psychological tricks we can play on ourselves to help avoid spending too much.  (For each $30/month cable, gym or other recurring expense, we need 300 times that amount, or $9,000, in savings!)  I also find Darrow to be very personable in his writing style.  He strikes me as the type of guy who learned long ago that family, friends, good health and fun outdoor hobbies trump material possessions, big houses and fancy cars any day of the week.  I recommend this book to anyone who wants to retire early or, realistically, at all. I also think this book should be required reading for young people who are still trying to figure out the blueprint for a happy and free lifestyle.

Warning: this book is not for the faint of heart. If you like sugar-coated information and unicorns, don't buy this book. If you want honest no-nonsense advice about how to make money from your travel writing, well, buy this book! In his tell it as it is style, Tim Leffel takes you through all the possible ways to make money as a travel writer, from traditional to digital opportunities, including blogging. Theres even a chapter on photography and video, plus self-promotion, social media, press trips and more.

The text is peppered with quotes from over 90 professional travel writers and bloggers, so you get other points of view and see how different people have succeeded at the craft.

This is not a dry academic book. Tims tone is friendly and straightforward, and he includes several personal anecdotes. The list of resources at the end will also keep you going for a long time after youve finished reading. (Note: I also bought the first edition of this book.)

This book is short, sweet, and chock full of great information.  I just joined Twitter a few weeks ago and never really understood why people liked it so much.  Phil starts from scratch for us total newbies which is great and explains a lot of the basic info.  But then he goes into detail about how to manage your account in a smart way and gain more followers.  The first week I joined, I had 8 people following me.  After using some of his techniques, I added almost 100 people to that list in just a few days.  Phil's writing style is great - easy to understand and personable.  A great read!
