short on meaningful content

This book is packed with vague sanctimonious non-sense about how "being a good person" will lead to real estate deals. There is very little by way of specific information in this book. There is no technical or otherwise analytic information or framework. If you want to read some short, disingenuous stories about developers, then sure.... this is the book for you.

A trip into the brain of seven succesful real estate players.

This is a concise, well organized and straight to the point briefing of succesful real estate stories. Erez interviewed dome of the world's most succesful real estate players and distilled their strategies in a very comprehensive manner. Very recommended for the beginner and the expert alike.

mastermind group approach for real estate

I bought this when it first came out. If you liked tools of titans by Tim Ferris, then you’ll love this book. It’s a collection of insights, thoughts and best practices from the best in the business. Worth a read even if you’re not in the real estate business and just want to immerse your self into the mindset of winners.

Brilliant

I have read this book in under 24 hours. Once I started it was hard to stop. The stories are well written, the lessons rightly compiled into a list of coherent points that make you think and introspect on your own businesses. The glossary was definitely a great idea as there were terms I was not familiar with (I am no real estate titan!) which made the book the more enjoyable. Erez has pinpointed the true mindset of entrepreneurship, hustle, life psychology and success. I am glad to be one of the early readers, and I am glad I took the time to read this piece of art. If you like businesses (not just real estate) this book is definitely a great tool to dive deep into the mind of greatness. If you are into real estate, there's no question you must read it!

Save your money

This book is repetitive and boring. Very political and not educational. Total waste of money.

Could have been reduced to one page and a glossary

See above. If you are in the USA who cares how these "titans" do it in Mexico , India etc. Lots of filler like "my Dad this or I was not always in real estate". Who cares?

I am mastering 3 key habits of this book

Ever since I watched Mr. Cohen's lecture at SMU and read his book, I have been working hard at building three key habits that have brought me impressive results. First, I decided to actively increase the time I spend educating myself on the subjects that both fascinate me and will help my career; second, I began to wake up between 6:00-6:30am to exercise and plan my day, and finally, I wrote down very clear objectives so I can focus with laser precision on advancing them. I am still in the process of building my ideal life, but now that I am equipped with useful tools, I feel more confident that I will reach my objectives. Thank you, Mr. Cohen, for inspiring me to take action.

Fantastic read for anyone interested in real estate!

For anyone interested in real estate investment, this book provides excellent insight into the industry and speaks plainly to the new investor. The author keeps you riveted and engaged; telling stories otherwise only heard by those most close to the Titans themselves, or to those within their organizations.

Informative and an easy read.

This book so far has been surprisingly informative in its topic (Ivanka aside), and inspiring. Most of all this is an easy to read book.
