Ordered the book yesterday through FlipKart. Anxiously waiting for it to arrive.
Hope it will be a real good read.
Thanks

Good to hear that .. let me know how was it 🙂 . Also provide your feedback on flipkart 🙂
I got the book within 2 days of ordering it, so Flipkart was quite fast.
I have started reading the book and found it very interesting (except for a few miscalculations which I read above, that could not be corrected on time).
Anyways I got the Jist out of those examples and liked them very much.
Thanks
Sahil
Thanks for your Feedback Sahil .. did you put your review on flipkart ? Would love to see it
I bought this book from flipkart. But really got disappointed, seeing lots of miscalculations in this book.
A proper proof reading should have done before printing.
For example on page 6 it says Rs3400 investment required per month to generate 5 crores in 35 years, assuming a 12 % return. If you calculate it will come out to be 2.20 crore.
If the returns are 15 % then only you can get over 5.05 crore.

Thanks for your comment and review .. I found out this mistake after the book was in print and one more reader told me about it . We checked things from our side two times , but not sure how this one happened. I am sure no more mistakes are there .. did you find any more ?
Manish
Dear Manish,
You have recognised me, I have raised the query on you new book cited above in facebook that is it different fron your old-articles in jagoinvestor.com, you replied that its different but I regret to inform you that 80% of contents are replicated from your old-articles but in new shape.
Moreover, while reading in the first chapter, I have observed that there is mis-calculation in Ajay’s investment as you have mentioned that he invests Rs 1500 per month @ 12% p.a. for the first 10 years and just lets this investment grow at the same rate for the next 20 years without making contributions later and he accumulates at the end for Rs 54 lakh. But while calculating the same the figure, it does not come whereas the same would be come as if he invests for the same for the first 20 years instead of 10 years(as you mentioned) and let this investment grow at the same rate for the next 10 years instead of 20 years(as you mentioned).

I thought you are asking if the content was copy pasted , for which I said no its re-written . A lot of new additions are done in the book as well .
Regarding the mistake , yes , I came across that and seems that has happened despite proof checks. these are being rectified in next prints . thanks for making note of it and informing about it 🙂
Manish
The book stays true to it’s vision. It is not about the financial products but about financial principles. As the book says Financial products will change, Personal finance tools will change, Financial planning models will change, Strategies RARELY change and Principles NEVER change. .
The language is simple supported with great quotes, tables, charts, graphs etc. Every chapter ends with Flashback learning which recapitulates the essence of the chapter and 2 Hour Action plan to make one apply the concepts learnt. At Rs 499 it might seem a tad bit expensive. But if order at flipkart or crossword you get it at 376 Rs(25% saving). Publisher Network 18(The CNBC people) prints usually hardcover copy. I wish they would take out a cheaper paperback version. But the quality of book is awesome and illustrations mind-blowing.
While I would not agree with everything such as more asset allocation towards equity without considering risk profile of the investor, the book has some Wow or paisa vasool moments such as Simplifying the financial life.
Did a complete review of the book at Book Review-JagoInvestor:Change your relationship with money.
Great job Manish. Are there plans for another one!
Bemoneyaware
Thanks for detailed review , no plans for another book as of now .. but would love to do another one soon !
Ordered it 10minutes before @Flipkart. I am just 21(considering normal readership of such books consists of people older than me). Call it a coincidence, I got my DMAT activated yesterday. I hope I learn well and owe you the progress. 🙂

The CD version of book is different and comes at higher cost . Its still not in market ..
You said 28th but flipkart still says pre-order? I had ordered ten days back and nothing. Is the date changed?
Ramh
Its “In Stock” on Crossword , it was suppose to be in stock by 28th : http://www.crossword.in/books/jago-investor-change-your-relation-with-money/p-books-9789380200415.html
Dont worry that much .. different distributors might have some delays at their end and it might become a few days delay .. so dont worry .. just wait for 2-3 more days .. it would be there ! . good to see you waiting for the book so desperately 🙂
