Historia
For over half a century, Banco Popular was one of the most profitable banks in the world—until one day, in 2017, when the Spanish bank suddenly collapsed overnight. When investigative journalist Gareth Gore was dispatched to report on the story, he expected to find yet another case of unbridled capitalist ambition gone wrong. Instead, he uncovered decades of deception that hid one of the most brazen cases of corporate pillaging in history, perpetrated by a group of men sworn to celibacy and self-flagellation who had secretly controlled Popular and abused their positions there.

I’ve never heard of Opus Dei, even though they were referenced in Dan Brown, the da Vinci code. However, this book was a lot of details but not a lot of things that would be shocking to a reader if you have knowledge of religious cults. The narration is what kept me listening

Historia
Before you can achieve anything in life, you need a solid foundation of self-discipline. Talent, intelligence, and skill are only a part of the equation. Positive thinking, affirmations, and vision boards are only a part of the equation. If you want to turn your dreams into reality, you need self-discipline. Self-discipline is what will keep you focused when all hell is breaking loose, and it looks like you are one step away from failure.

Very Practical Advice
Revisado: 06-14-24
This audiobook is short and to the point. I finished in three days. For me, the tips I’ve heard before. But often the issue is I haven’t implemented them. I like some of the anecdotal evidence. There are plenty of examples of successful people who implemented self discipline. So if you get this audiobook and start to realize most things sound familiar you must act on what you read otherwise this will be another quick listen.

Historia
Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

This audiobook spoke to me in so many ways. The first three chapters I’ve listened to more than once. I highly recommend this book as well as the Compound Effect and the Slight Edge.

Your Financial Bestie
Revisado: 12-27-23
I follow Vivian Tu on Instagram and I was happy to see her on the Forbes list of content creators. She is engaging, hilarious, and passionate about what she does. She's not for everyone - and I honestly say that because she is not for anyone who wants to buy into the myth that 'everyone has access to the same information' - which she addresses in her first chapter. Vivian also champions financial empowerment for marginalized communities, shining a light on the inequities that have left them lagging behind in economic progress. This passion for advocacy is interwoven with her engaging and sincere personality, which shines through on her popular Instagram and now, her book.
A couple of things that I like about this book - it is not a rehash of what she has on her Instagram pages. I think Chapter 2 goes into a lot more detail about things like job security, how to ask for a raise, and how to advocate for yourself.
The first chapter is my favorite. I love the rich people myths. I love how she counters some of the traditional advice given about becoming rich like 'just find a cheaper place to live, spend less on avocado toast and lattes, and just switch careers to make more money'. I agree with her that some financial advice is really tone deaf.
Some of my favorite quotes:
"Budgets aren't about slapping your hand out of the cookie jar, they're more like the recipe that allows you to have the biggest, fullest, most delicious jar of cookies that you can enjoy for the rest of your life." (Chapter 3: I am in Charge of my Money). Chapter 3 is where I put a lot of things into practice. She focuses more on your mindset around your budget.
The preceding chapters are very useful in understanding things like savings, 401(k), how to maximize your savings.
Who this book is for depends on where you are in your financial journey. For me, I had some 'ah-hah' moments. Then there were things that I didn't know. However, there is a strategy with each chapter, and I'm taking notes. More importantly, the book helped me change my mindset about money - the most important thing. I would say this is a great book anyone who wants to make their money work for them.
In addition, the audible version contains a downloadable PDF with key terms. This was very helpful to me.

Historia
Opt Out is a lifestyle book....or is it a book about entrepreneurship in disguise? There's a reason the forward is by Michael E. Gerber, the world's most famous small business guru. Opt Out isn't a story about a guy who made a bunch of money and sailed off into the sunset. It's a playbook for people who want to own their life, control their time, and be the master of their destiny. It is a book about business, and real estate, but not based on high claims that neglect hindsight bias.

Great Read
Revisado: 10-03-23
I love Dana Robinson. I actually came across his videos a while back and was excited to hear that he wrote a book. I think the benefit of this book is he lays out a strategy with resources. I think the only downside is he clearly benefits from having a great network of people, and some of his tips won’t work for everyone. But his honesty and strategic approach is beneficial.
This audiobook is only 6 hours so I finished listening to it in a day.

Do you wish life came with a "do over" button? Are you in desperate need of change, but fail to act when it comes to actually changing? Do any of the following sentences sound like you? What if I told you that you didn't need tons of willpower to change the direction of your life? What if I told you that a few subtle shifts in the way you think could mean the difference between staying stuck and living the life of your dreams? Don't worry. This book won't tell you to simply "set goals" or "dream big!" Those words sound nice, but they don't actually change anything.

Quick read, if you’re big on self-help a lot of the information is stuff you’ve heard before. Not sure what’s up with the authors website but I wish I could get access to the end of chapter worksheets.

Historia
The Super Bowl champion wide receiver for the New England Patriots shares his inspiring story of an underdog kid who was always doubted to becoming one of the most reliable and inspiring players in the NFL. Relentless is the story of Edelman's rise, and the continuing dominance of the Patriot dynasty, filled with memories of growing up with a father who was as demanding as any NFL coach, his near-constant fight to keep his intensity and competitiveness in check in high school and college, and his celebrated nine seasons with the Patriots.

50% Inspiring/50% Snoozefest
Revisado: 10-28-22
I love Julian Edelman. He along with Randy Moss and Tom Brady are my favorite athletes to watch (when they played). There was a lot that I knew about him before reading this book. I knew he grew up in the same neighborhood as Tom Brady and that he had a close relationship with his father. The book highlights his growing up and how his father Frank modeled him to be the relentless hardworking man he is today. However, munch of the book is rehashing play-by-play of certain games and if you’re not into that it will be a slow read.
I know that he has broken every bone in his body. I didn’t know that he dated Jerry Rice’s daughter. Edelman doesn’t dig into his personal life and we’re not owed that. But the Epilogue and the first few chapters are the best. The narrator is good and the pace is great. It’s just not a memoir or a real bio. Lots of takeaways from him. It made me respect him as an athlete, father, and as a person. Hopefully he will follow up with another book.

At long last, John Hope Bryant lays out five simple rules to provide a path to economic liberation for anyone in any situation. The Memo provides a simple path from financial literacy and mindset shifts to ownership, positive relationships, and a completely new attitude toward money. In a provocative exploration of the intersections of race and class, Bryant preaches the definitive conclusion that to be free, one must be economically liberated. Those who suffer from poverty haven't gotten "the memo" - until now.
