Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Motivation and Goal-setting
Jim Cairo · 1998
58/100
👎 Skip It
A short, reflective handbook that leans on simple questions rather than motivational filler, which is a nice approach in theory. It's just thin at 128 pages, with no independent reviews to lean on and some confusion around which edition is even being discussed. Fine if it crosses your path, not worth seeking out.
