Review of "How not to get rich, or why being bad off isn't so bad" on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This is a clever satire of the how to get rich books that popped up when I tried to search for this one. A very few people, if any, who read this will really be searching for ways not to become wealthy, but most others who pick it up without this intention will discover, as the title says, why being bad off isn't so bad, a modern revival of Thoreau's basic message. The author is witty and, like many people who are not forcefully goal-directed, is typically in no hurry to get to the point, another endearing quality of those not seeking to become rich. You won't reach wealthdom reading this book, but you may well enjoy the ride to wherever you end up.
