I’ve long been a fan of personal finance books, especially investing, so here we have back-to-back money books on the blog. Overall, I enjoyed The Path.
The Path in a Nutshell
Haha, when I just wrote that heading, I thought of that scene in Austin Powers when he says “this is me in a nutshell. How did I get into this nutshell?”. Ah, my childhood was fun. But I digress.
In summary, The Path is set up into 5 sections.
- The Journey Ahead
- Charting Your Path
- The Trailhead
- The Climb
- The Summit

In The Journey Ahead, I enjoyed how the book started. It’s 2020, and we needed some positivity, in that, overall, the world is better than ever before. Sound familiar?
My least favorite part of the book was Charting Your Path. This part concerns the pros and cons of financial advisors, and estate planning. Valuable, but…BORING!
The Trailhead was the best part of the book in my opinion. This is where the authors (Tony Robbins and Peter Mallouk) make a case for investing in stocks for the long term. This topic is really my favorite part of most investing books. It’s the “meat” of investing, if you will.
The Climb is where the authors talk about what kind of portfolio you should have, and how you can move or adjust it over time and according to your goals, personal situation, and risk appetite.
The Summit is the second best part of the book, in my opinion. This is where Tony Robbins talks about happiness, and how to live, what to consider, and how to give back once you’ve made it on your financial journey. I’m not there yet, but it’s great to have things to think about once you are there, on your own path to financial freedom.
How Many Stars?
4 🙂
It was a good book, and it’s brand new, so I really couldn’t wait to get into it. It had a lot of good and valuable points, but it was not the best investment book I’ve ever read, nor was it the worst. I didn’t like it as much as Money: Master the Game. Maybe I had too high expectations.
