In a world of self-driving cars and big data, smart algorithms and Siri, we know that artificial intelligence is getting smarter every day. Though all these nifty devices and programs might make our lives easier, they're also well on their way to making "good" jobs obsolete. A computer winning Jeopardy might seem like a trivial, if impressive, feat, but the same technology is making paralegals redundant as it undertakes electronic discovery and is soon to do the same for radiologists.

Brilliant all-encompassing look at building wealth
Andrew Craig's book is the perfect antidote to most of the overly simplistic (but highly rated) "level-1" books which dominate the personal finance space. It's clear that the author has a keen interest in not just personal finance, but economics and is sympathetic to the principles of the Austrian school (even if he does quote JM Keynes). This book teaches the reader how to understand the large macroeconomic forces at work, the workings of the monetary system, the implications of these trends, and then how to assess fair value of ALL the major asset classes, not just the common ones which most other books seem to overly focus on. The core theme of this book is that Personal Finance does not just happen in a vaccum. Nothing works well all of the time. No single asset is "the best" investment. There is a time and a place for everything, and the more you increase your understanding of the world the more you can make use of the different options available to you. I have read many personal finance/investing/FI books and for this this book is the best entry point to understanding what is really going on in the world and how to position yourself accordingly.

(Rich Dad, Poor Dad + Richest man in Babylon)×2019
if you've read the above mentioned books, you need to read this book too. in a similar vein other investment books, yet with very practical implications and, in places, clear instructions on how make your money work for you. Andrew Craig's narration is smooth and clear as well, I got used to his voice very quickly and didn't tire of hearing him at all. I'm recommending this book to several of my investment friends and I think that it can really open up a new view to investment and portfolio diversification. Good Job.

Valuable listening for every Adult, Teen & Child
This is a super valuable audio book and should really be part of the national curriculum. If you've ignored taking your personal finances seriously then Andy's book is a great place to start. Switch off the TV, radio and Netflix and have the whole family listen in to what is very measured and well thought through financial strategy for building long term wealth. Great piece of work Andy.

A lot of filler
The book is very basic. I learned more from “the four pillars of investing”. The book as a lot of filler, waffle about his motivations with the book etc. Would be better if he just got to the point.
