A gripping tale of adventure, danger and humor, peppered with investment tips from a Wall Street legend The best–selling author of Investment Biker takes a fascinating journey through the world′s economic situation in a convertible yellow Mercedes. This is the motivating story of entrepreneur Jim Rogers, dubbed "the Indiana Jones of finance" by Time magazine, who made his fortune playing the stock market and then embarked on his lifelong dream adventure. Together with his fiancee, Paige Parker, he set out on a three–year drive around the world that would ultimately set the Guinness world record for the longest continuous car journey. Their trip winds its way through 116 countries – through blizzards, deserts, epidemics and war zones – to discover failing economies and the new boom countries not from dry and potentially flawed statistics, but by experiencing life itself. This is a gripping tale of travel and adventure; along the way they encounter danger, love and farce. It is also a highly readable account of world economies: you won′t find a more enjoyable way to be introduced to the investment potential of Bolivia, or the cultural changes afoot in North Korea. Finally it is also an inward journey in which Rogers moves from the restless traveler to husband and father, hoping one day to introduce his daughter to his own passion for travel. JIM ROGERS entered the investment business in 1968 with $600 dollars in his pocket. By 1980, at 37 years of age, he had left Wall Street with enough money to satisfy a lifelong appetite for adventure.

如果没有看过罗杰斯上一本环球游记《罗杰斯环球投资旅行》的话,这本看起来写的也还不错,但是如果看过上一本,那么这次的环球游记就显得相对逊色一点,虽然装备升级换代,由宝马摩托变成了奔驰汽车,陪同的亦然是年轻漂亮的姑娘,虽然换了人,还有跟随的摄像师和所谓的互联网...
評分可从这个角度把人分为四类: 1聪明的行动派。这是最稀有的一种人,他们即有智慧,也有行动力。本书作者就属此类。但愿世界掌握在这类人手中。 2愚蠢的行动派:他们有行动的能力,但缺乏智慧。比如书中例举的一些糟糕的政治家。他们往往是灾难的制造者。 3聪明的书呆子:他们...
評分环游世界可能是每个人的梦想,但出于种种原因,祖国的大好河山我也只去过很小的一部分,但每次出行都令我心旷神怡。如果暂时不能出去多走走多看看,读游记是一个不错的选择。然而绝大多数的游记都让我兴趣索然,文笔再好的作家、再高超的摄影家也无法让我身临其境,我看到...
評分当初想看这本书的起因,仅仅因为被Jim Rogers与Soros合创量子基金的名声和这段三年旅行的人生赢家般的梦想所吸引。读完此书,虽然内容不乏泛泛而谈和一些如记流水账的部分,但文中体现的罗杰斯在这次惊险有趣的环球旅行过程中的观察和思考还是十分令人深思的。 首先,...
評分这本书看完了好几天之后,我才惊异的觉察到,这几乎就是我想要的生活方式,某种程度上。所以我将郑重把此书推荐给她看!
