Recommendation

Tony Robbins shines as a communicator in this inspirational personal-investing manual. He stands out for his pro-investor advocacy, folksy presentation, interesting quotes and nuggets of knowledge from discussions with 50 recognized investment gurus who buttress his seven-point financial plan. Robbins explains some typical investing advice – save, compound, learn the ropes, invest low, earn high, reduce risk – and offers some atypical guidance, as well, such as stressing charity as a complement to wealth creation. He acknowledges that he isn’t a professional money manager, so he synthesizes and passes along advice from experts in the context of his own specialty as a peak performance coach who supports using common sense to manage your money, like saving up and investing with care. Though also not in the business of giving financial or investment advice, getAbstract recommends this warm approach to building your fiscal future.
