Thanks for sharing a summary of your talk with Tony.

I do recognise some of the things he talks about in other of his books. Questions are so important, aren’t they? Here’s a simple example: I was riding my scooter around Chiangmai (Thailand) looking for the Tesco supermarket, and I was frustrated I couldn’t find it. And then, I remembered I was looking for a towel. So, the question I should have asked myself was “Where can I buy a towel?”, not “where’s Tesco?” I stopped at the first supermarket, bought a towel, went home, relaxed and got ready to do something else. It’s a very simple example. But, it relates to what Tony told you.

Thanks for sharing this James. I want to thank you for all the great stuff you talk about, in your own, unique and quirky way. It has really inspired me to live my life my way, away from the herd. Again, thanks a million.

On the plus side he’s right that you should invest in yourself first. Savings should go into low cost index funds. Some 401Ks have very high fees, and then it’s only valuable to invest whatever your company will match (free money).

I’m not trashing the book, just saying it’s got nothing so revelatory that I’d call it the best of the century.
