Am I right!?
I thought this book was great, but I recognize it's not for everyone. I read it at a time when I was unsatisfied with my office job working for someone else and was in the process of building my own business and leaving my place of employment (and doing it all while I traveled full time in an RV, pre-covid, and everyone thought I was nuts). It felt risky and a little crazy to me at the time, but this book backed up a lot of the moves I was already in the process of making. I don't relate to and am not doing every little thing in the book, but the overarching themes were incredibly relatable to me, namely putting a higher value on time and freedom than always putting work first, and finding a way to scale and separate a linear relationship between trading one hour of your time for $XX over and over.
Happy to say I've been happily self employed for 5+ years now, building something much more lucrative long term than my monotonous office job, and with exponentially more freedom.
There's plenty of value in this book, particularly for those who are looking to be self employed, but also in general. It's all in how you look at it.
For $2, if you don't have it for free at a local library - I believe it has more value than a 20oz pop I might otherwise spend that money on.

Here's a good podcast on this book
What's the gist of it? Have money and pay the lowest bidders to work for you?

Several of the concepts are still logical. I listened to the rationale for why to do everything. And then I apply it as I can throughout my life.
Direct examples are dated - but learning how to be ahead of the curve still prevails. Same for "Free: the future of a radical price". In hindsight, you can learn to think like they did.
