The Anthony Robbins Life Story by Michael Bolduc

Michael Bolduc was the Vice-President of Anthony Robbins & Associates, before becoming the CEO of Guaranteed Success Strategies. He was living in poverty, but with the help of Anthony Robbins, he moved from poverty to financial independence.

Anthony Robins, affectionately called "Tony", is currently rated top ten speakers in the world by Toastmasters. The sales of his recordings exceeds those of Michael Jackson's. He charges millions for individual coaching.

The book traces from Tony's childhood to present. When he was young, he already had in mind what he wanted in life. He was popular among girls as he always provided solutions for them. While his peers were into alcohols and drugs, he abstained from them.

He was greatly inspired by Jim Rohn at one point. He joined Jim Rohn's company as a salesman to sell his tickets so as to get other people to benefit from his speech. Soon, he was the best salesmen and then given a position as Area Sales Director.

He later started up giving speech himself. He went through numerous sets of ups-and-downs, getting into loans or being cheated. But he rose again and become this powerful speaker.

Why We Want You To Be Rich -- Donald Trump with Robert Kiyosaki

This is a book written by a billionaire and a millionaire. It seeks to explain the reason why this both individuals are actively writing books and creating games to get people to be rich.

The book started off with how Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki got together to pen the book. In each chapter, both of them use different font types to indicate the author for that portion of words.

From this book, you can actually understand their background and how they became rich. They state the problems that the US and most of the world are facing. Why We Want You To Be Rich also gives pointers as to what you should start doing or embarking on.

To me, this book also sought to promote their own products and trainings. It also acted as a platform for them to retaliate their critics. But all in all, it was informative enough for someone who hadn't finished the Rich Dad series. There are snippets from each of the Rich Dad books.

Overall, I would rate this book 7/10
