,Additional Praise for Ramit Sethi
and I Will Teach You to Be Rich
“Ramit Sethi is a rising star in the world of personal
finance writing . . . one singularly attuned to the
sensibilities of his generation. . . . His style is part
frat boy and part Silicon Valley geek, with a little bit
of San Francisco hipster thrown in.”
—SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
“. . . one of our favorite personal finance sites.” —LIFEHACKER
“The easiest way to get rich is to inherit. This is the
second best way—knowledge and some discipline. If
you’re bold enough to do the right thing, Ramit will show
you how. Highly recommended.”
—SETH GODIN, AUTHOR OF THIS IS MARKETING
“The common perception about personal finance books is
that the advice is loaded with technical terms and jargon.
On this front, I Will Teach You to Be Rich comes as a
complete surprise. It is written in an extremely breezy
style, but it doesn’t mean that it contains frivolous
advice. On the contrary, it packs useful information for
beginners on how they can manage their money.”
—ECONOMIC TIMES
“. . . particularly appealing to the younger generation with
its easy-to-read, no-holds-barred language.”
