The continuing popularity of that book baffles me. I've seen people recommending it even on HN.
- robocat 4y agoI’ll bite: that book really taught me the importance of passive income. Now passive income is a fundamental idea with better materials covering the topic. However for me, and perhaps others, it was an eye-opener when it came out. That lead to really believing in SaaS early on, which lead to good financial outcomes for me years later. It’s like saying Lord of the Rings is just yet another book series about elves and orcs and ents.
