NOTHING DOWN FOR THE 2000s

A giant in the real estate advice sector shows his experience in this informative audio. Writing after his near-death in an auto crash, Allen urges listeners to believe that any of them can become financially independent through investing in real estate. Altruistic in tone, the audio seems aimed at young people as it combines the psychological language of personal freedom with the lexicon of ambition and wealth accumulation. Its message is that listeners should rebel against the tedium of working for others and break free of habits that are comforting now but devastating over the long haul. This largely motivational lesson occasionally seems to talk down to its audience. T.W. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/ MAR 06]
