Review of The Pirate's Journal
Discovering uncharted territories and unknown lands were significant characteristics of sailors. And although the operation of sailors and pirates is not common in recent times, their concepts employed in The Pirate's Journal: A Modern Treasure Hunters Guide to Wealth Building by Charissa Turnbull prove priceless.
In summary, The Pirate's Journal: A Modern Treasure Hunters Guide to Wealth Building by Charissa Turnbull is a non-fiction book on an adventure to Prosperity Isle. To begin an adventure, there must be a current location and the desired location referred to in this book as “Dream Life." The journey between your current location and where you wish to be lies in this "Pirate Journal." In this book, the author discusses eight pirate principles for attaining a life of financial stability and wealth building.
Readers would find the concepts of pirates, ships, booty, treasure, and maps, amongst others, intriguing. Unlike a routine process of receiving financial literacy, The Pirate's Journal: A Modern Treasure Hunters Guide to Wealth Building is an interesting adventure. More than just words, the author designed an exciting trail, intending to lead readers to their dream life.
In this book, the author designed a system for practicalism, where readers explore every principle. The principles did not impose a specifically recommended map to your dream life. Instead, the author created a system that enables you to plan your map all by yourself. This has a lot to do with individual choices and preferences. This is a positive aspect of the book because readers get to create their maps by themselves and for themselves.
Another feature readers would find interesting is the pirate terminologies used on this wealth-building journey. One of these is the Fourth Pirate Principle, “Make shame and guilt walk the plank." The principles are guidelines for creating small maps, which would, in the end, serve as a grand map to Prosperity Isle. To help readers understand this better, reflection pages were included in the book. The sign AVAST, which “means STOP in pirate lingo!" was used to signify when to pause, reflect, and write. Generally, the book deals with in-depth study and analyzing strategies to attain one's dream life.
The book's trivia, yet obvious observation, was that the principles would better serve readers with a tangible foundation for creating wealth. I refer to the "Journal Prompts" in the book for a tangible foundation. These questions concerned people who have had a financial beginning, either little or grand. In discovering “what makes us FEEL financially secure," the "Journal Prompts" were about past financial status and earnings. Readers who do not have a past financial base might find it hard to complete the exercise. I do consider this a negative feature and an observation. Somehow, I know the book title might give you a different impression. It gave me too. But it's not what you are thinking.
Overall, my rating for this book is four out of four stars. The book was well edited, and readers would not have difficulties understanding it. Readers who are interested in financial books would find this piece amazing. This book would also be an excellent read for readers who like adventurous books. Life itself is an adventure.
