    About this ebook

    Money can Buy You Happiness

    In Die Broke Stephen Pollan introduced a new radical new strategy for spending, saving, and investing money in today's financial market.In Live Rich, he now concentrates on the earning side--with the compelling observation that living rich has less to do with net worth and everything to do with freedom. You can live the life you want by adhering to the four tenets of the Live Rich philosophy:

    • Make Money
      Too many of us have been fed the line that "work isn't necessarily about making money." Tell that to Visa next time they send you a bill.
    • Don't Grow, Change
      Be ready to change your work paradigm on a moment's notice, to morph from career to career several times as conditions--and you--change.
    • Take Charge
      In the twenty-first century, you must become proactive and start taking measured risks.
    • Become a Mercenary
      Think for yourself as a free agent, responsible for your own security and always on the lookout for the next great job.
    • Live Rich
      With Stephen Pollan's revolutionary workplace ideals, as well as a detailed action plan, you can apply this philosophy to every facet of your life and truly Live Rich.

      I agree with the general tenets: make money; don't grow, change; take charge; and become a mercenary or create Yourself.com. However, the rules for doing so come across as being far too New Yorker, far too lawyer, and far too baby boomer. Furthermore, there are blatant contradictions (don't have meetings in restaurants; work out of restaurants if possible), and I couldn't accept the reliance on canned scripting.

      This book is controversial, but it is actually pretty good. If you can get beyond some of the surface-level disagreements you might have with Mr. Pollan, you will find his work insightful and that you agree with him more than you disagree with him.I enjoyed the read. I liked the "theory" part of the book better than the "pratical" part. I wish he had made the "theory" part a bit longer.I don't agree with everything that the author says, but I can't discount the value of the book. It is worth a read and will give you some real good advice without sentimental fluff.Of course, this book is a career-oriented book, so if you are looking how to "live rich" religiously, philosophically, metaphysically, or whatever, look elsewhere. Most criticisms of Mr. Pollan's viewpoint on money is because the people criticizing his work are coming from a metaphysical or spiritual angle, while this book merely instructs on how to live richly in sense of a career. And he does that make it clear throughout the book (in telling people to use their career to get money and their other aspects of life to get other things).I guess someone may accuse Mr. Pollan of advocating overly strict compartmentalisation of life. I can understand that point of view. Even if you are against Mr. Pollan's ideas in this sense, I suggest you still read this book. It will challenge you and is especially good for entreprenuers, who often get too involved in making their business big and "successful" without remembering about the bottom line--for them. This book is worthwhile on that account alone!
