Cristina Valas: Very important book and one that every investor should read as well as every financial planner who actually gives a shit about their client’s financial health and not just their business. A new day will dawn when FP will do for their clients what they do for themselves and realize real returns on their investments based on sound principles and not just hope. After reading this book, you won’t be paying anyone when you lose money but you will learn how to choose good investment opportunities that your FP brings that will be a win win for all.

Thibault Lecat: Essentially an infomercial for the Author's Lions network and coaching services. Principles of lifestyle investing are sound but I was unable to squeeze out any usable, tangible advice which could be deployed independently of the author's membership network.

Amazon Customer: This was an easy to read book - finished it in two days. While I did learn his logic behind investing and opting for quick return on the original principal while generating monthly cashflow, this book is not designed for everyday people. The deals mentioned in this book start very high, yet they mention you can become a lifestyle investor with any amount of money. I see no example of investments where the initial principal is under $50K. They only describe a handful of investments, but the down payment is pretty high. Furthermore, you don't see many examples in which he invests and it actually goes sour. There was one where with the maintenance company deal reached a conflict due to his unpaid contribution so he forgave them and negotiated it for a royalties deal instead, but that value was $500K. Average people are unwilling to lose $500K so you can get to series A financing and bet on royalties. Maybe $500K doesn't seem like a lot for Justin, but pricing the book at $12.99 ($2.99 for Kindle) makes you think that these strategies and tactics were possible for everyday people. When I checked out his website, his mastermind cost $50K/year and he suggests you only join if you have...

R. Brooker: This is the best book about investing AND about achieving one's desired lifestyle, that I have read. There were three key parts of the book that impacted me. First, the book helps to establish a mindset to achieve regular passive income, in order to free up time to do whatever you life passions and lifestyle goals are. This is a key insight: highlighting that time is the real scarce resource; money is important to the extent that it enables free time, and also enables many things that one wishes to do with one's time (though so many important things in life require no money). The second key insight is that the book helps us to answer what to do with one's time. This will of course be different to each person. But the book provides many ideas to help inspire the reader, and most importantly it sets out a disciplined approach to the reader to define her or his lifetime aspirations. The third great gift that this book brings to the reader is several specific investment ideas that can help to achieve the above two important goals. I think that the author's investment ideas are excellent ideas in 2021. In the future, say, five years from now, these specific investment ideas may or may...

Martyn J. Wood: I love the simplicity of the way Justin explains and lays out his commandments and how much his desire is now to educate others to what is possible with a focused plan.

AnatoliN: I have not read a book so low on content and so high on self-promoti9n in a long time.
What Donald presents as his financial know-how consists of common sense, self loathing and pure nonsense.
I have heroically sustained his lifestyle claims that smelled as a cheap commercial in hope to finally find something of value, but his very first practical example of investment killed my further interest. Here is a structure of his 'immediate cash flow' deal: put down 65K for 15% of a business that generated 'nearly' 36K. How does 65 in at once with 36 out within a year minus repayment of the remaining 85% constitute an immediate cash flow that was supposed to replace his wife's salary? I do not own such a magical calculator. The one I have tells me that if 15% of business is worth 65K, than the whole business is valued at 433K. A 36K return on a 433K investment is a mere 12%. Not much to write a book about. Well, I've got my C$1.27 worth from this book.

TheReviewBoss: The Lifestyle Investor by Justin Donald was a nice read. He speaks about his influence by other authors which he put into practice. That is the thing that bothered me, it's more of a story about his personal life and the influences that his family and big-name authors had on his life, and not so much about what I thought the book was about. I was hoping to actually learn something new in this book, but I did not. Most of the stuff is common sense and is written in other books. I read many books each year about this niche, maybe that is the problem, I already know all this stuff. I believe the title threw me off. I would personally buy my books directly from the big-named authors for this niche.
