Overall I liked the book, though I thought his suggestions for creating an income stream were a little gimmicky and his criticism of deferred compensation seems overly optimistic after the economic crisis. On the positive side, you can gain a lot of useful ideas for time and task management. Also, it has a lot of good financial information showing how one can afford to take “mini-retirements” from their career – cheap travel, insurance, maintain finances remotely etc, etc. The book is also backed by a web site with good resources for analyzing your situation. Though I would not follow his entire method, I picked up a lot of good ideas and it encouraged me to attempt a few things I thought I would never have the money or time to do. Recommended.   hide
