Christine L, Educator
Pathfinders is the perfect follow up to JLCollins previous book, "The Simple Path to Wealth".
Each chapter begins with a blurb, if you will, from JL, then proceeds with "real life stories" from readers. Chapters are just long enough and encouraging. I would recommend reading the Simple Path first, but if not, reading this as a stand alone is fine.
Thanks to Mr Collins, Harriman House publishing, and NetGalley for the preread in exchange for an honest review
