Book Reviews

"killing Sacred Cows (ussurprisingly) takes on some financial “myths” that the author argues is destroying your prosperity. As with all such books, it’s an entertaining read and it makes quite a few good points—and quite a few questionable ones. That’s why it’s worth reading—it, at the very least, provokes you into thinking about things." The Simple Dollar

"One of the great things about his book is it’s chock full of quotes. Some of the quotes are used to illustrate specific myths and how they are perpetuated over time. Many others add credibility to the author’s assertions. Together with the quotes and anecdotes, the pithy ideas presented offer a soul-searching re-examination of why you do what you do. You will take a hard look at your behaviors and tendencies, and will likely make important changes as a result." Lead on Purpose Blog
