- rock-bottom beginner level
- this book is about dealing with anxiety, burn out, family problems and lack of self-confidence and not just investing
- the math parts are oversimplified and require the use of a technical calculator. *shudders
- all investing-related text could have fit on 10 pages.
- first book on investing that explicitly links personal values with stockpicking, but I would have loved to see more examples than just Whole Foods
- the author’s resistance to be taught and irrational fear of personal finance and numbers irritated me, but other people might be able to relate to that… (meer)

This had a lot of good information on how to invest (their special way), but I feel like it’s more problematic than not. I’m not fond of anyone being the end all ultimate here, and their gurus didn’t wow me (& of course Charlie Munger is in the news this week for creating a student housing monstrosity at UCSB and pulling an Isabella Stewart Gardner if they don’t stick to his plans). I’m not sure if the author understands her privilege at even having enough money (she never talks her own numbers) to be able to invest, but her “I’m just like you” stuff feels disingenuous. I think I benefited most from the how to research aspect of things but feel rather off about everything else.… (meer)
Very dramatic. It's like watching poor drama on TV. Doesn't always stay on topic to make it more entertaining.

- Good primer on value investing
- Easy read
- Doing the maths exercises really taught me something
- The personal narrative added a nice touch and made the book easy to read from cover to cover
Why only 3 stars:
- Sells false hopes: 15% return annually
- Authors not transparent about own performance (only one example with Whole Foods)
- 15 min. a day - too good to be true: after doing the exercises, valuing companies takes lots of time.
- guru-ish
