Waste of time

Despite how much I respect George Soros, that book is a complete waste of time

More of a philosophy book

I bought this audio book hoping to pick the brain of the so called great investor George Soros and learn profitable ways to tackle the stock market but what I got was a rerun of my university philosophy class of talking in circles to make the topic seem more sophisticated. Waste of my money. Maybe I need to listen to it a second time.

Soros wants to write a book

tl;Dr

lots of word salad. I'm probably too dumb to understand the moral, but I understood enough to know soros isn't sharing much insight. he even admits in the book that he simply wanted to write about feeling like a god. quite a bit of ego stroking but hey when you rich you can do whatever.
