Good points about the risk-taking required to become rich. Very helpful to entrepreneurs.
The author does simply assume, however, that becoming rich should be an overriding goal in itself.
He does not consider this goal in relation to others - for example, character, contentment, learning, relationships, etc. (other than to mention in passing the wreckage in such areas that can sometimes accompany the gaining of wealth).
Not that he should. He is not trying to be philosophical. But the approach is inherently limited in omitting any larger discussion.
Good thought-provoking discussion within its limits, though.
