I just paid to listen to endorsements for his earlier book

Some of the stories were interesting and/or inspiring, but many were repetitive. A few had clever new ideas or books suggestions for further reading. I couldn’t believe how many of them raved about the author and his “simple path to wealth” book. Did I just pay over $20 to read what are, essentially, endorsements of the sort that should be on the back of a book? Yes, yes I did.
And the cringey attempts at accents? Maybe the author was having fun trying out accents, but it was a fail compared to audiobooks read by professionals. Definitely recommend he spends some of his F.U. money on a voice actor next time.

JL Collins!!

What a great follow up to A Simple Path to Wealth. loved hearing so many stories from others

Interesting stories, horrible male voice actor

J. L. Collins is great, but this audiobook was 50% unlistenable for me because of the terrible and over the top voice acting of the male reader. I recommend the book, but if there is another version: get that one.

the ease of their path to financial freedom.

I liked it all. It's a great book to learn from. now I got to live it.

Collection of stories offered different perspectives

I enjoyed that there were so many perspectives offered in the book. It made it very easy to find use cases that were similar to your own situation. The only thing that I did not care for was the voices/readers for the audiobook. Their attempts at emulating accents based on each story in the book was incredibly distracting and sometimes outright annoying.
