What if a happier life was only a few simple choices away?

A successful entrepreneur living in Southern California, Scott Rieckens had built a “dream life”: a happy marriage, a two-year-old daughter, a membership to a boat club, and a BMW in the driveway. But underneath the surface, Scott was creatively stifled, depressed, and overworked trying to help pay for his family’s beach-town lifestyle. Then one day, Scott listened to a podcast interview that changed everything. Five months later, he had quit his job, convinced his family to leave their home, and cut their expenses in half. Follow Scott and his family as they devote everything to FIRE (financial independence retire early), a subculture obsessed with maximizing wealth and happiness. Filled with inspiring case studies and powerful advice, Playing with FIRE is one family’s journey to acquire the one thing that money can’t buy: a simpler — and happier — life.

3.5 (Bom)

Para quem se interessa pelo FIRE movement, vale muito a pena. Não é um livro repleto de dicas ou que se aprofunda muito bem no movimento. É a história da jornada de um típico americano de classe média e sua família tentando se adaptar à forma FIRE de viver. Achei o livro bom e bem escrito no geral, mas terminou de forma um pouco abrupta. Também achei que em diversos momentos a esposa do Scott não estava tão entusiasmada assim com as mudanças e senti ela um pouco pressionada a abrir mão de tudo da vida dela rápido por uma ideia dele, mas isso é bem clássico de casal hétero, rs. Apesar disso, li rapidamente e me deixou com mais entusiasmo para me aprofundar nessa jornada que me identifico.
