用户评论
这本鸡血书竟然给了我某种久违的tranquility> < 也许只是时间和看书时的心对了
3.5星,信噪比有点低。值得关注的观点有:1、不要把一切都留待真正退休了才去做、去体会,不时实行mini-retirement;2、简单、简化,放弃执念,扔掉无用的东西;3、保有一颗不放弃梦想的心;4、你没必要等到赚到百万,才去过百万富翁的生活(随心、随性,旅行与做自己喜欢的事并没有你所想那么昂贵)
书太短了点儿。作者有时有点BT。
就liberation那章 重新思考生活方式 用平民价买到豪华游 我给满分666666
后面的还用不上,以后再读。
自己的故事太多了 没什么干货
这本书我读得很晚,也亏了没太早读。有些事,早做晚做,只是顺序问题。但早做,有时间的复利效应,早做不亏。
提前退休的一本书,属于工具类,有那个打算了的时候再来翻
最重要的原则:在一切事情上实践20-80法则,也可参考Sam Kyle的hell yeah or no @2021-09-06 22:29:30
mini-retirement有启发。
