So Much Knowledge

I enjoyed this book because of the opportunities it could bring if we all work together financially.

Plain and Simple!

The simple and plain language used to convey what most Americans feel is complicated and complex.

Financial questions that made think about my own decisions.

Made me take a closer look at my short term and long term investments plans for the future.

The scale at which the author wants to attack the problem

I was looking for more detail on how to actually achieve financial success and coach others on the process.

The beginning of A New Journey

I truly appreciate the life changing curriculum that comes with operation. Hope truly is life-changing with doing the required work.

Not a book focused on teaching practical financial techniques

I purchased this book thinking I would be taught various techniques; steps for actually improving my financial knowledge and understanding through practiced application.

In my opinion, this book just outlines a plan for improving the financial situations for communities at large etc.

This book will not directly teach you about smarter banking (loans \ savings, stocks \ bonds), tips on managing your bills \ home expenses etc., which is the impression I had when purchasing this title.

This book definitely makes the case however for the need to have financial knowledge and improving that knowledge for success and better opportunities in life.

Great Read! Easy to understand and follow. Full of great insights, history and personal anecdotes!

I enjoyed how the author covered the history of financial literacy in America, especially for Black Americans. He explained the reasons for the hopelessness that many Americans feel. He not only provided a humble and real perspective that the average American can relate to, he also provided solutions. I loved the author’s wisdom, concise explanations, and pragmatic focus on solutions. He maintained a good balance of being honest about the challenges we face, yet still hopeful for a better future (explained how and why as well). He shared many interesting stories and facts as well to support his arguments and provide context.

Everyone should read

This was a very powerful and thought provoking book. Everyone should not only read it, but take what’s read and apply it. It was so inspiring that I’m going to purchase a physical copy and read it again.
