Book Insights Podcast

Today in the Book Lounge, Tom & Karin discuss the book Cashflow Quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki. Each week Book Insights creator and author of The 50 Classics Series Tom Butler-Bowdon and Memo’d Program Manager Karin Richey invite you to join their fun and casual conversation about the book of the week. Hear what they love it about, what they don’t, how they rate it, and how it can advance your work and life. You’ll learn why it was selected to be part of the curated list of Book Insights, and what’s new with the book or the author currently. This week, Tom and Karin offer you insight on: *What the 4 cashflow quadrants are and how cash flows between them *The surprising things that keep people from attaining wealth *The controversy surrounding Robert Kiyosaki and his DIY wealth empire What is the difference between Book Insights episodes and Book Lounge episodes? Book Insights are formal, structured summary, analysis and exploration of a bestselling nonfiction book. Each episode is read by a professional voice actor and will introduce a new title selected specifically for its value to your work and life. Book Lounge episodes are casual discussions about the book, the author, and anything else that comes along through the course of conversation. It’s more of a broad chat about how the book relates to current, everyday life. Should I listen to both the Book Insight and the Book Lounge episode on the same book? Sure! Each episode works fine as a standalone piece, so no requirement to listen to both or to listen in any particular order, but we definitely recommend (and think you’ll enjoy!) both. Think of it like reading a book and liking it so much you want to chat about it on the porch with a friend. That is the vibe at the Book Lounge. Like what you hear?

* Money may make the world go round, but most of us were never taught exactly how – financial management is sadly lacking from school curriculums, despite it being a crucial skill in modern society, alongside reading, writing and arithmetic.  * Without any training in cashflow management, many people flounder when it comes to money matters and simply knuckle down, in the belief that hard work will earn them more cash and solve their problems.  * Robert Kiyosaki explains the flaws in that way of thinking, identifying the four financial ‘quadrants’ that everyone follows.  * These represent both a mindset and a way of making money – if we can learn to adopt the characteristics of the rich quadrant, a whole new approach to wealth generation and financial security opens up.

* Claude Bristol was a hard-headed journalist, covering the religion beat for a large city newspaper.  * He met people from every denomination and sect, and later read hundreds of books on psychology, religion, science, metaphysics and ancient magic.  * Gradually, Bristol began to see the ‘golden thread’ which runs through all religions and esoteric teachings: that belief itself has amazing powers.  * Most people go through life without realizing the effect that strong belief can have on reaching their goals.  * Bristol’s powerful book shows us how and why believing is a kind of magic. Understand it, and success becomes more certain. Theme 1: The Magic of Believing - 0:30 Theme 2: Applying the Power of Belief - 7:52 Theme 3: A Sense of Destiny - 16:31 Like what you hear?

* The Road Less Traveled is inspirational, but in an old-fashioned way, putting self-discipline at the top of the list of values for a good life.  *If you believe there are no easy ways to enlightenment or even full mental health, that things like commitment and responsibility are the seeds of fulfilment, then you belong in Dr Peck’s world.  *The book is welcomed by anyone who has found themselves torn between the science of psychology and the spiritual search.

Where does it end? – in clear and jargon-free language.  * Stephen Hawking, regarded as one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists of all time, applies his searing intellect to these mind-bending questions, inviting us to share his wonder at the marvels of the universe, from string theory and spiral galaxies to black holes and the Big Bang.  * The key to the phenomenal success of this book is Hawking’s ability to render complex concepts intelligible, with clarity concision and wit, to everyone.
