1. AI realism with zero hype!
   There’s so much hype about AI…the news changes every day, and many folks worry that it will take their jobs!This book is a realistic guide to navigating the new realities of the increasingly AI-fueled world of work and money. If you’re looking for a book that will teach you how to make money with AI, keep looking—this book clearly states there’s no legal way to do so. Instead, you’ll get common-sense practical advice about how to network, build your personal brand, and leverage the power of close and distant connections to find awesome job and business opportunities. If you’re looking for a job in AI, Joan makes clear that the competition is incredibly tough—and that those who learn to use it will not be replaced by it.The second part of the book, which covers wealth-building, is chock full of yet more practical tips and advice about personal finance, investing, and self-employment. Joan points out that employment at companies that underpay and undervalue their workers to make high profits is not only inequitable, but even more, is the slow way to build wealth (if at all). This part of the book includes many excellent worksheets, exercises, tools, and processes to help readers manage and invest their money and start their own businesses.For me, the most impactful parts of this book were the personal stories of many folks who started from financial ground zero to found successful businesses. My favorite is the tale of a venture capitalist who started her fund while she was homeless—and built her business through determination, grit, and crowdfunding.If you’re looking for clarity on how to move through this exciting and confusing time, you’ll find this book ultra-helpful. Highly recommended.

2. Informative and Insightful. I strongly recommend!
   This is a very well-written and very informative book. I enjoyed especially Part 2, where the author explains very clearly how to invest now to be able to become financially independent in the near future. This book would be a great gift for a young person since it is a very insighful introduction to financial literacy, and investment and retirement strategies. Even tough it is full of information, it was very easy to read and understand.

5. Great career and financial advice is digestible portions.
   Not everyone has a family member who can give career or financial advice is a helpful and well researched way. JPB’s book levels that playing field so that everyone has the information about personal branding, finding what you love or evaluating that side hustle when income isn’t meeting all of the needs.Joan’s voice feels authentic and not preachy. There is no shaming just a wave of positive energy that awakened my agency.

7. Transparent and grounded in data
   There are few books like this that are actually grounded in data that acknowledges privileges directly while putting the advice in context. If you’ve been worried about what to do to ensure you’ll be ok even if AI does automate away your job give it a read! The level of transparency about successes and challenges is admirable and will hopefully show others how to tap into their own revenue streams.
