Starred Review. Books on investing usually require a thorough understanding of how the stock market works, and can frustrate or overwhelm the lay reader. Enter O&'Leary (Cold Hard Truth: On Business, Money & Life), a tremendously successful entrepreneur who moonlights as an investor on TV&'s Shark Tank. In his latest book, O&'Leary guides readers through financial decisions big and small, challenging them to understand their relationship with money, and focus on improving that relationship. These changes, according to O&'Leary, will ultimately lead to greater financial stability. The beauty of O&'Leary&'s approach is that it&'s straightforward and addresses the reader&'s changing financial needs at different life stages, from wedding planning and marriage, to buying a new home and having kids, to midlife and retirement. He lists numerous common money mistakes that people make and how to fix them, including: drowning in credit card debt; having no emergency savings; and not knowing where to invest. O&'Leary pays particular attention to raising money-savvy kids and addresses the high cost of higher education and the lower costs of retirement. Full of valuable advice imparted in a no-nonsense manner, this book will have a profound effect on how people relate to and manage their money. Agent: Mel Berger, William Morris Endeavor. (Oct.)
Review
“Stressed out about the grown child who won’t leave your basement? Have family members circling like vultures now that you’re retired and saved your nest egg? Unable to climb out of debt? As if he were the Don Cherry of financial wisdom, O’Leary provides strongly worded, anecdote-driven answers, unafraid of the people he might offend.”�

The only guy giving you the cold, hard, truth.
By NotChineseNotHiredByCompany
This is an outstanding and amazing book. I consider it a book about personal finance and the philosophy (and exact details) of how to manage your money.
A lot of the advice, you won't like (how to manage family and money for example) but it is sound. The author provides practical solutions to almost every point in life (from a college education, to getting married and divorced, to getting older).
Let me be clear this is not a book about Mr. Wonderful's life and rise to riches.
This is a knock on the head book telling you the things you NEED to do. Not necessarily to be mega wealthy but definitely to keep from being destitute and poor.
This book is set up with the first part talking a little about O'Leary's family and the attitude you need to have about money.
After that O'Leary talks about the different stages of life and the financial things you need to do. In many cases this isn't rocket science but O'Leary's splash of colder water in your face is well worth the price of this book.

Mr. Wonderful delivers on one front, fails on another
By Jeremy Crowhurst
As an autobiography of a television personality, this book gets five stars. It's endlessly entertaining, really difficult to put down, and gives a fair bit of "behind the scenes" coverage of Dragon's Den, and a little bit for Shark Tank. That includes a chapter on pointers for potential pitchers for the shows. Most of his tips, you would think, are pretty basic, and should be known to anybody appearing on the show. But if you've seen the show, you'll know that they aren't. Also informative is an analysis of his fellow Dragons, what they look for in businesses and potential partners.
Mr. Wonderful has clearly lived a very interesting, somewhat charmed life. And though this isn't a "warts and all" kind of book, he gets away with glossy finish by showing the same kind of chutzpah he shows on both t.v. shows. Yeah, we haven't really got an entirely candid account of his life, but when it's this entertaining, do you really care?
As a business book, it gets one star. It's a complete disaster. Though he writes with great flourish, he doesn't demonstrate any kind of command over his subject matter. Compare that to his fellow Dragon Arlene Dickinson, who's book isn't well-written or organized, but who is completely convincing on her core subject matter of communication and persuasion. Kevin, in contrast, comes across as a really entertaining snake oil salesman.
Consider if somebody won the lottery, then decided that since they've accomplished that, they're qualified to write a book about how other people can do it. This book kind of reads like that. Kevin's advice is almost entirely based on his own experiences, which is a little surprising given that he has an MBA and should be better able to back it up with something along the lines of generally accepted principles of management. But he doesn't. Nor could he: his management style seems to be less Ken Blanchard and more Caligula. He advocates an approach to human resources that I think would, alone, bankrupt most companies: just go hire people, and fire them whenever you feel like it. Like, for example, if the person wants to do things like sleep, eat, see their family one day a week, those constitute grounds for termination. I'm exaggerating, but not by a whole lot.)
Included in his advice on how to get rich is, if you get married, make sure your wife is great at raising children, because you're never going to see them. Work-life balance? Forget it. That's for poor people.
His advice for investing is, if there's a company or sector that looks profitable, but you don't fully understand, just stay away from it, and move on to something else. Well, that approach isn't unheard of: that's how Warren Buffett approaches investing. But Buffett is 81 years old and has more money than God. He doesn't need to learn new stuff. If you're a 25 year old MBA at an investment firm, how is that kind of approach going to go over? "Well, it looked promising, but I didn't fully understand it, so even though I could have taken a little time and learned all about it, I chose to just move on to something less challenging." I get where Kevin is coming from -- he acknowledges the problems he has had with dyslexia over the course of his lifetime, and maybe that approach is one that he needs to take. But as a principle of general application, for everyone, it's just b.s.
That's really the problem with everything in the book. He made his money at a particular time, in a particular way. Things have changed a great deal since then. His story of taking $25,000 and turning it into a $4 billion company is, now, just a story, and what he's shouting from the rooftops now is, "Hey everybody, let's go and make 8-10%!" Sorry, Mr. Wonderful, but 8% really is just not that wonderful.

Lots of good money guidance
By E. Tschosik
I like Kevin's writing style. It is straight forward. I am one of those that is always looking to find good info on making smart decisions with money. I felt this book was a good validation of many things I already do and I found some good nuggets as well. This is the kind of stuff I like to talk to my young adult children about as well. I may be getting this book for them as a gift at some point. There is is good info about the sensible handling of money at different stages of life.
There were a couple of things I disagree with, as well. I think when you get married, all assets should be pooled and money decisions should be made together. His advise for keeping separate accounts does nor resonate with me. When you marry, I believe in the "2 become one" aspect. I just feel like separate accounts would create too much dialog about who's paying for what, etc. We pooled everything immediately and never looked back. Not everyone gets 30 years of marriage, but it worked for us. There is always discussions about major purchase decisions, but one thing we do not have to discuss is which account(s) the money is going to come from.
