While he makes some good insights and comparisons and the advice in the book is practical, it is not far off to say that anyone that can find the willpower to buckle down and start saving/investing can do so on their own and save themselves the read. Far too much comparison to the old economy, and far too long of a read to basically say 'invest in a way to help you sleep at night and keep a redundancy so you never have all your eggs in one basket' This book at best is common sense.
