Without trashing modern medicine, the author is able to articulate modern medicine's two main shortfalls: first, modern medicine's targeting only the symptoms, but not going further into uncovering the causes; second, modern's medicines lack of focus in chronic diseases. ...more

Basicamente, da la impresion de que el autor escoge algunos casos (digamos, de forma cubica) de personas de "exito" y los trata de hacer caber en su receta filosofica del "exito"(digamos un cuadrado dentro de un cuadrado). Se hace asi forzada la filosofia basada en una docena de ejemplos: "crear o morir". Ademas, hay por lo menos un par de ejemplos (las impresoras 3D) que dan la impresion de estar basados en modas pasajeras que realmente no desarrollan (todavia) el potential que el autor les quiere atribuir.
It is my fault for being drawn into ANYTHING with "fuck" on the title. The book had a promising start, suggesting that social media hWhat the fuck????
It is my fault for being drawn into ANYTHING with "fuck" on the title. The book had a promising start, suggesting that social media has brainwashed us to care for shit that's not really important (something I wholeheartedly agree with). It then goes on into sharing some life episodes of the author, and portraying him now as a grown up, who had matured from his previous self (I have settled down now, I'm no longer promiscuous, etc). However, I couldn't avoid feeling a certain pride from the author regarding his previous self. It sounded fake.
Some other points of the book mentioned crap I agree with, but all could have been summed up with "shit happens". But writing a whole fucking book on 3 concepts is going to far (like the fucking Hobbit movies).
Good thing that I got the book from the library. But what the fucking fuck is wrong with the world? Why some shit like this is a best seller?...more

I consider it sad that such basic advise is needed (as evidenced by the sales successes many of Bach's books have).

Many of the tips are just simple common sense (pay your credit cards in full, don't buy stuff you can't afford to by with cash, etc). Also, some of the ideas are a regurgitation of ideas of other Bach's books (for example, his adamant desire for you to buy a place, instead of renting one).
The book was published before the 2008/2009 crisis, so one of the main premises of one of the central tenets of the book (buying instead of renting) is flawed: home prices will not necessarily always go up , so leveraging up to your eye-balls in order to buy your home may not be a wise idea. ...more

El libro por momentos parece el argumento de una telenovela cursi (mexicana, peruana, no importa): nino aspirante se enamora de nina bien. Para un peruano (el libro es ambientado en el Peru y el autor es peruano tambien) hay pasajes que resultan dificiles de creer (algo asi como una "Natacha" inversa, donde el empleado es el hombre, la mujer materia de su amor es la nina rica que se enamora de el). Bueno, dificiles de creer hasta que un buen amigo (y primo mio, ademas) me desasno al contarme que algunos pasajes (y en particular lo relacionado a los amorios del valiente protagonista) son, de hecho, inspirados en la vida del autor. Es decir, hay esperanza con el tema del racismo en el Peru.
Este buen amigo/primo me desasno tambien al explicarme que el vocabulario de burocrata que yo le atribuia al autor era mas bien un esfuerzo suyo (del autor, no de mi amigo/primo) por una prosa simple que le permitiera a su madre (nuevamente, del autor, no de mi amigo/primo), escasamente instruida, leer el libro sin problemas.
Ademas de que es evidente que alguna vena telenovelera tendre porque le doy 3 estrellas, si por no otra cosa que por las discusiones del Conciliabulo (Spanton es personaje de antologia) vale la pena darle una hojeada a esta novela "naif" que parece algo de esperanza real contiene...more
