I'm loving the book so far. I read The Millionaire Fastlane , and loved that, so now I'm reading Unscripted .

These books have really hit home because of my lifelong desire not to fit in normal society, and being a work slave.

I couldn't help but read some today while I was resting after having worked a 10 hour day, after having worked a long day yesterday with only 2 hours of sleep. I am burnt out. I've had enough of this rat race.

I had already been actively planning a web app before reading the books - TMF confirms what I had concluded but also filled in a lot of gaps, teaching me things I didn't know or realize. I'm hoping my web app will be my first money seed and my escape pod out of this infinite prison.

I wondered if it would be worth reading Unscripted or if I should focus on my web app. I think I'll keep reading because I like it. They are my favorite books now.

When I asked ChatGPT about TMF , it knew all about it and had recommended I also read Unscripted as it said it would help me given what it knows about my web app project.

I only just started the book and I like it a lot so far. It gives me hope after struggling so long. For so many years, my husband and family has dismissed my entrepreneurial ambitions as crazy and they're still skeptical. So I keep pestering my husband and family with parts of these books that I just have to show them .

Anyway, I'm curious for those who finished the book, how has it helped you?
