The maths is wrong on purpose. So is everything you were told about money.
Pick up the nearest thing to you. Did the person who made it sell it to you?
Almost certainly not. Nearly every object you own reached your hands down a chain of people who did not make it and did not use it. They stood in the middle, moved it along, and every one of them took a piece on the way past.
That chain runs the whole world, and most people look straight past it.
This is not a book about working harder. It is a book about where you are standing while you work. Two people can do the same hour of effort, and one walks away with a penny while the other walks away with a fortune. The only difference is the floor they chose to stand on.
Seven floors. Seven laws each. Forty-eight laws in this book, and every one of them is a place to stand, not a habit to build.
Inside:
- Why Airbnb owns no houses and Uber owns no cars, what they own instead, and what it earns
- How the biggest companies on earth actually make their money, which is never what you think
- How to take your cut without getting cut
- The one floor the author works himself, and why he calls it the best door left open to somebody with no money and no name
- The 49th law. The one nobody writes down, and the door it opens
One warning. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it. You will walk into a supermarket and see the trick. You will open an app and feel the toll come off your card. You will look at the richest people in your country and notice how few of them got there with their own hands.
For tradespeople, operators, and anyone tired of being the hardest worker in the room and the last one paid.
