Recently, I became poor. It's disgusting, and it means God loves me less than he loves you. I know my tragic penury won't last forever--but in case you, too, have been fired for something you said, deplatformed for something you believe, or just abruptly cut off from your trust fund, this book will explain how to navigate life when you are unexpectedly yanked from privilege and told to, err, earn a living. Pay close attention to the tips I've picked up, and you might just make it out alive--and with minimal split ends.

Milo Yiannopoulos is an award-winning journalist, a New York Times-bestselling author, an international political celebrity, a free speech martyr, a comedian, an accomplished entrepreneur, a hair icon, a penitent and, to the annoyance of his many enemies, an exceedingly happy person. He is the most censored, most lied-about man in the world, banned from stepping foot on entire continents for his unapologetic commitment to free expression.

Milo was and is flamboyant, which generally is a good way to dispose of a fortune. He did. So, firstly, buy the book: good people should be helped out of bankruptcy, particularly when they have written a confession of their faults and sins. Do as he does: eat well at home. walk everywhere, use public transport, have a network of people who can fix things, and be a man. Take responsibility. Your behaviour got you into this mess, changing it will get you out of it.

Well worth the read, despite his declaration that his hair is a twin spirit.

This isn't a self-help book unless you are a rapper who has come into money, or a sports star, or some other variant of this kind. Any normal person, like a person who buys $3 books and reads them, will find nothing here of value. Most people are poor enough, living paycheck to paycheck, where they don't even need to learn the lessons Milo has.

Now, to be fair, I don't buy it that Milo is pretending to help people who are recently impoverished or deplatformed. The whole book is written to be funny. The problem for me is I didn't find any of it funny because I found Milo to be so autistically stupid with money I became disgusted. I also had no idea how rich he had gotten. And for what? What did he do to get such a windfall? I've tried to look up the stuff Milo has done that has made a return on peoples' investment in him. Without doing any careful research, I can recall from memory that he had some spicy segments on news channels challenging feminism, he had something to do with GamerGate, he had a lengthy talk with Joe Rogan, he had his college tours shut down or protested, he was huge on twitter but then shut down, he worked for Breitbart and seemed to be working to get Trump elected, but to what extend was he visibly helpful? A lot of stuff seemed to be focused on the fact that he was gay but conservative. I thought it was his sharp wit and invulnerability from his sexuality that made him popular.

I didn't realize he became wealthy from all of this. I realize I know next to nothing about Milo. He was merely an ally in the internet war of ideas I had come to know. He may have become impoverished simply by his wild lifestyle rather than being deplatformed. He openly says he made 3 million off his book Dangerous. That's really good. But how fast did he blow through all of his money and then some? He is now turned around? I don't believe it for a second. I also don't believe the nonsense about him finding God and turning to the church. The church has nothing for him. If he really learned his lesson, and saw himself as such a powerful fighter for free speech, he would renounce possessions and focus fully on his goal and become the St. Francis of Assisi of free speech. This book comes across as a quick and easy cash grab to pay some bills. It's about as weak as any self-help scam can be and I guess I don't find Milo to be funny.

A lot of the jokes read as inside jokes. Like, you have to be fully in Milo's camp to get them. I've forgotten all of them already. The memory of this book is already fading from my mind. I don't want to hate on Milo, he is not an ideological enemy of mine, but I feel cheated from reading this. If Trump can't even help his base, how much more can Milo do? Is it right that he profits so much for doing so little? This book did nothing for me, taught me nothing, was very short, very light in weight, and who profits? Milo does. He always has, I guess. What's next? A Milo cookbook where he shows us how to make half-assed hamburgers and chips? Honestly, I'd rather Milo spend his energy, his wealth of knowledge, connections, experiences, and arguments into constructing the next great novel. I think he has a solid foundation to become a great novelist instead of a journalist iconoclast. Think of the great H.L. Mencken. Journalist iconoclast extraordinaire. Known a bit in his day. Did a lot of amazing things. Wrote better than anyone else. How many know him? How many care? But people still read Joseph Conrad, someone Mencken helped bring to light.

Humorous and Informative

I enjoyed Milo back during the Trump campaign. He was always a strong provocative free speech activist. I was horrified when the right (never trumpers) smeared him with half truths and all out lies.

This book shows though his finances were destroyed he has kept what set him apart from other writers his wit and timing. Milo writes something provocative but it is on point. The reader must look at what he is really stating for instance food when poor look for real food on clearance much better than fast food for you and your wallet.

I enjoyed the book and look forward to seeing Milo on TV & on social media more.

Brief, to the point, thoughtful, and outrageous (of course)

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

I have always liked Milo’s straightforward approach to fighting the ills of the Left, and his personal story made him somewhat immune to the usual critiques. However, after his deplatforming he basically disappeared. Here he recounts the absurdly reckless and frankly idiotic behavior that ruined him financially, and how he has changed that. The first chapters review some very basic things to get out of poverty in true Milo style. However, it’s the last one that shows the soul of the man, and the root of the solution. Owning up to mistakes, confessing sins, taking responsibility, and recommitting to the fight for Western culture and his family—It’s about repentance. Good on him for recognizing errors, fixing who he is, and his relationship with God.

I didn't find all the advice personally useful, but the attitude is dead on. When your life collapses around you the best thing you can do is take responsibility and decide to act. If you think maybe you've got problems, this quick read will help put things into perspective. Milo writes well and the book is engaging and honest.

Milo's personality hasn't been crimped by his financial woes! I'm glad for his sake that he's gained some self-awareness from his turmoil. And it's always good to be reminded to be creatively frugal, even if you're not as indebted as Milo!

In order to better understand the realities of life and how it can all go wrong you have to give this book a try and see it from Milo's point of view. Written with a lot of sass and god knows how many bottles of wine in him its a damn good read that keeps you stuck on it all night long.
