Happier Than A Billionaire: Quitting My Job, Moving To Costa Rica, And Living The Zero Hour Work Week (2000) - Plot & Excerpts
I picked this book up as a vacation read. I was vacationing in Costa Rica and it seemed like a perfect fit. At first, I loved the funny stories ... but as the book progressed, I was wishing there was a story. The author and her husband leave their lives in the US to live in Costa Rica. Not clear how they have enough money to live for the rest of their lives and they move to a country where they don't speak the language and don't know much about. I suppose they have made quite a bit off of this book - so good for them. The book really doesn't even explain why she is so happy. Disappointing read. 4 stars for being highly entertaining, although not quite as entertaining as the 1st book (quite possibly because the 2nd book talks a lot about her experience writing and publishing the first book--which is interesting, but perhaps not really book material). I laughed out loud, and found that it was a great book to take the gym, so I could be distracted with giggles as I put in my time on the treadmill. Now I need to find something else that is just as humorous and can keep my legs moving without thinking about them!!
What do You think about Happier Than A Billionaire: Quitting My Job, Moving To Costa Rica, And Living The Zero Hour Work Week (2000)?
I enjoyed it because I've been to Costa Rica and a lot of the places in the book.
