Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
100 Side Hustles
Chris Guillebeau · 2019
80/100
👍 Worth It
This is the real deal — a traditionally published collection of 100 genuine case studies pulled from Guillebeau's Side Hustle School podcast, with a solid mindset section up front before the idea catalog kicks in. It's built for browsing rather than reading cover to cover, and not every entry will grab you, but as an idea generator it earns its keep.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
