The Art of Hustling: How to Always Have Money and Never Go Broke by Tito Greene is a nonfiction self-help book about how to earn money through hard work and never end up in poverty. Greene describes this hard work as a hustle. Often referencing people living in poverty, he argues that there are no excuses to not be able to do better and make a good life for yourself. He begins his book discussing how to maintain a positive state of mind. He then discusses how to come up with a business idea. Greene refers to successful celebrities like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg to support the idea that hard work and dedication can pay off in a big way. He even suggests multiple business ideas to consider. He discusses saving money and then ends his book discussing a few different ways to invest money.

What I liked most about The Art of Hustling: How to Always Have Money and Never Go Broke was Tito Greene’s passion as he discussed various topics as a guide to financial success. He writes using plain language, enabling his reader to understand very easily. His references to those living in poverty and crime are suggestive of his desire to help those who need it most. Greene uses a lot of “you” language and writes in a way that is both positive and empowering. Lastly, I like that he stresses personal accountability. He insists that financial success is not going to be effortless to achieve. But through dedication and hard work, it is possible.

What I disliked most about this book were the frequent grammatical and punctuation errors. Several errors even made parts of the book difficult to read. Also certain words such as “will” were capitalized every time. At first, I thought the author was doing this for additional emphasis, but the emphasis did not seem applicable in every case. Lastly, the chapters and other content listed in the Table of Contents did not have the correct page numbers listed. Overall, this book does not appear to have been professionally edited.

What I also didn’t like was the lack of depth to the content presented. In the last chapter, Greene suggests three possible avenues for investing. He spends half of the chapter discussing stocks, and then he spends very little time on CD’s and real estate. Only about a page is spent discussing CD’s. And when discussing real estate, Greene makes it sound so easy that it’s almost unbelievable. I wasn’t convinced that anyone reading this section would be able to walk away with a strong understanding of what to do when it comes to investing in real estate. I felt that more information could have been included on the topics that were presented.

One thing that I considered to be both a positive and a negative aspect is that this book is just over sixty pages long. This is good because anyone reading it will be able to digest the information fairly quickly. Unfortunately, because the book is so short, there’s less information presented. If more information was given on certain topics, then the book would likely be longer. While I’m supportive in keeping the length of this style of book fairly low in order to encourage more people to read it, I think approaching closer to one hundred pages wouldn’t have made it so long that it would’ve been unappealing.

Overall, I enjoyed reading the topics Tito Greene discussed in this book. I only wish the book was professionally edited and that he discussed some topics in more detail. As a result, I must give this book 2 out of 4 stars. Given a round of professional editing, I would mostly recommend this book to young adults, particularly those preparing to graduate from high school. I think the topics presented in this book are very easy to comprehend. This book offers a basic understanding of some of the investment options available and the right attitude to have when making investment decisions.

people find themselves with lots of business ideas but lack the know-how to implement. I'll go through it and enlighten myself a bit. Thanks for the review

Self help books are usually a no-no for me. But the way you have described this one, it sounds so professional save for the editing part. But still, this is a must read for me.
