Ratings and reviews

In general I love reading business and personal development books. Nevertheless, my life's rate of improvement does not reflect the above mentioned fact. Having read Poverty Proof thoroughly, I was able to diagnose the problem; I am a perfectionist and I always succumb to the fish (Emotions) instead of preloading the decision and take action whenever it needs to be taken. Thanks a lot Mr Douglas Kruger for writing such amazing book!

Classist and very disappointing read. Instead of focusing on tips and mindset shifts, the author takes every opportunity to tear down poor people and perpetuate a "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" mentality. While there is some solid advice in here, it's surrounded by condensation and classism, and is not worth the read or the money.

This books is an eye opener. There's many things that it makes you realize your doing wrong. It's very easy to read and understand.
