A little bit about the book!

Unshakeable is a book written by Tony Robbins and its purpose is to aid you in your quest for financial freedom. However, in typical Tony Robbins style - it touches on freedom within your life in general, and how money can give some people this luxury, but also mental freedom.

It has a good amount of knowledge for all ages on how to invest your money and what questions you should be asking when deciding to invest in a particular brokerage. It highlights the problem with the tax on your earnings, the power of compounding interest with time and how self-discipline and conscious effort to invest your money every month will go a long way over time.

Due to compounding interest, if you invest in an index fund like the s&p 500 (basically investing in the largest 500 companies in the United States) on a monthly basis for 10 years when you are 21 years old. And then you leave it to compound for a further 30 years your wealth will be in the millions when you reach 60. You can achieve this on a tiny salary. Just a lot of self-discipline and commitment.

In other words, the only thing that stops the western world from gaining freedom is the resistance to educate them self and to invest their money... in other words, themselves.

Along with financial advice that I’ve simply summarised here, Tony gives wonderful advice for self-development and improvement. Your relationship with Money is just one part of the equation for living a beautiful life. The equation also consists of living life in harmony with positive relationships with yourself in health mentally and physically, and with others sexually and in companionship and friendship.

The book is a short read, but it is compact with great information and Tony Robbins is always an insightful read!

Secure your future by reading the book.

Be exceptional
