I think I get it, it's because in certain social circles (mine included), openly admitting that you want to be a millionaire and actually trying to do something about it, is demonised.
If I quote the book and then mention the title to certain friends, I notice a split second wince. A few friends questioned me on the morals of actively pursuing becoming a millionaire, and I happily answered them and assuaged their fears that I was becoming a capitalist monster that would inevitably eat their children.
At the end of the day, it's why I'm here, after reading the book I needed to be surrounded by a community of like minded people, because I hardly knew anyone in my social circle with the fastlane mindset.
Yes. You are not the only one my friend.
