Not even memeing, this book is pure garbage, yet every fucking "business books" article recommends it.
Literally just invents some buzzword "autosuggestion" and rattles on about it whenever he can. Crackpot.
Felt like I wasted valuable time reading it, hell I've read 10x better advice from Tony Robbins.

Rich dad poor dad is just the writer repeating the same piece of advice 50 times. A good piece of advice, but jeez. Still worth a read in the sense of getting what normies need: you can think the best thing in the world, but most of your listeners will not understand its brilliance. It's critical to dial down your vision to one simple message and hammer it over and over with endless practical examples.

How long did it take you to read it?

I'm guessing you didn't do what it says, you just read it in one sitting "because I'm not a brainlet, duh", proving you are a brainlet.

The book takes reading with comprehension.

kek, yeah Taleb is grouch and I thought his books were way overhyped. Waste of time in hindsight and everything to gain from it could've been learned from either trading crypto for a single day, or reading one of the analytical and critical reviews (I read a lot of them on HN).

But t b h it was a comfy read, would recommend for leisurely, motivational reading. His life sounds nice af.

There are 2 kinds of people:

> can't focus on anything else except person talking
> can't focus on person talking when doing something else

The first can't get work done when the radio /tv on. The second stop hearing others when they look at their phone.
