This is a GREAT idea! Do not be fooled by some false negative reviews by idiots on here, most of whom have not even read the book!


Read 'Answering the Critics' for more info and clarity.

The old saying applies. If it's too good to be true, it probably is. The FairTax proposal is presented by the authors as beneficial to all US citizens. They present it as a Miracle Tax System, like snake oil presented by traveling salesmen, or...

Admittedly I have not read this book cover to cover yet. I skipped right to the chapter that explains how the FairTax code would work, and I looked at some other chapters briefly to get a gist of what the authors had to say generally. So here...

I attended HBS, and was similarly disappointed in the organizational behavior curriculum and faculty there, particularly in hindsight as I came to understand how much could have been accomplished in those courses.

Very important...

Nutshell review - The author explains how this book started as an article and truly the basic concept really doesn't require an entire book. Far too much case-study page-filler. The title is an attention grabber but the content is enough for an...

I am looking at the International edition right now, and comparing it to the US version - the problems in the back of each chapter are different.

I bought this book being told that it was 'usable' in the US - it is not. There is a...

I ordered a brand new textbook from Amazon. However, I received a textbook that was not covered in plastic wrap like other brand new textbooks are. Also, two of the angles were smashed, and there was a huge scratch on the front cover of the textbook.

A wonderful little book, and easy to read. This reflective little book looks into what "God's will" means in a practical modern life through a personal exploration of the author's own life. If you are looking for an insightful meditation on...

I read the first 80 pages of this book carefully, but just looked at the subjects afterwards. I don't think the book helped me because I matured as I quit focusing on myself. This book suggessts the opposite.

Palmer writes very well...

Our database teacher recommended this book. I bought this book and found it not an easy read. After going through the whole book still I could not understand how the database design process works. Then I went on google to look for some thing easy...

This is a good book with a unique point of view. It covers a very broad range of topics including financing, commercial, and others. The book offers some good advice. I did find it a little dry and drawn out at times. Regardless, a good source of...

The most valuable part of this book is the first chapter regarding home ownership not to be confused as an investment. This came as a surprise to me but upon reflection of the authors facts it has brought about a pardigm shift in my thinking....

As a current director of human resources for a F-500 company, I can honestly say this is one of the most useful books I have bought. My only regret is that I didn't have this great little book years ago as I struggled to find the correct word or...

This book was helpful, but not as much as I'd hoped. It would be best for someone new to writing reviews.

It is funny how several reviewers criticize the author's recommendation to "not lose money", while that is the number one rule from the richest person on the planet, Warren Buffett.
They miss the fact that there is more to that statement...

The book, "The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need" is a gross misnomer. At best, the book should be entitled "A Good Personal Finance Guide". If a person bought the book, as I did, for expert stock market investment guidance, he/she may...
