Ep. #1086: Book Club: My 10 Favorite Takeaways from “Die With Zero” by Bill Perkins

How much is enough? When it comes to wealth, many of us chase the idea of accumulating as much as possible. 

However, Bill Perkins' Die With Zero offers a different perspective: optimizing your wealth to maximize your life experiences.

This book isn't just a radical rethink of conventional wisdom on wealth and retirement; it's a practical guide to making sure your money serves the purpose of enriching your life to the fullest.

In this podcast, I’m sharing my top 10 insights from the book. 

“Can you recommend a book for…?”

“What are you reading right now?”

“What are your favorite books?”

I get asked those types of questions a lot and, as an avid reader and all-around bibliophile, I’m always happy to oblige.

I also like to encourage people to read as much as possible because knowledge benefits you much like compound interest. The more you learn, the more you know; the more you know, the more you can do; the more you can do, the more opportunities you have to succeed.

On the flip side, I also believe there’s little hope for people who aren’t perpetual learners. Life is overwhelmingly complex and chaotic, and it slowly suffocates and devours the lazy and ignorant.

So, if you’re a bookworm on the lookout for good reads, or if you’d like to get into the habit of reading, this book club for you.

The idea here is simple: Every month, I’ll share a book that I’ve particularly liked, why I liked it, and several of my key takeaways from it.

I’ll also keep things short and sweet so you can quickly decide whether the book is likely to be up your alley or not.

Alright, let’s get to the takeaways.
