Don't know or care about the book but I see nothing wrong with promoting the Slowlane to Slowlaners. Most Slowlaners, sad to say, don't have what it takes to be a Fastlane entrepreneur anyway. They learn about it and they say it's too hard. So in that way, it makes sense to promote the Slowlane.
Also, it's easier to sell the Slowlane because there's more Slowlaners. MJ's books sold like $2m or something in its lifetime (care to comment @MJ DeMarco? Or not). David Ramsay (popular Slowlane author) sells that in the first week of his books' releases. Just makes sense from a money perspective. (I pulled those numbers out my a$$ but you should get the point)
My problem is with the false promises. "You'll retire rich!" No you won't. You'll retire maybe with a house and some liquid cash, and that's a pretty good scenario. The math doesn't check out for 'retire rich'. Most people are lucky to even retire. And the social safety nets provide basically the bare minimum.
Also the Slowlane dream is not an easy one either. Cutting out life's joys while working overtime and scrimping and saving for 40 years just for a chance at retiring with a house and a decent pile of cash? Kind of sucks to be honest. Most people can't do it. It's too hard.
Curious, why are you asking about this book? If you're here, should you not have already decided that the Fastlane life is for you? You don't need anything else to confirm your suspicions.
