Disruption as opportunity

Why disruption creates opportunity — and how to capitalize on it instead of fearing it

Beyond your finances

How to identify the Sacred Cows hiding in your relationships, not just your finances

A winning game

The difference between a “losing game” (filled with sacrifice) and a “winning game” (built on purpose) — and how disruption can shake you out of one and into the other

A changing economy

How blockchain technology and cryptocurrency are reshaping wealth building

Rebuilding after loss

My personal story of losing everything in 2008 — and how disruption forced me to rebuild stronger

Who this book is for

Reader experiences

What readers are saying.

Another great, thought-provoking, unconventional financial Sherpa guidebook on the way up Mt Financial Freedom.
Md M., Goodreads
Great book especially if you ever find yourself questioning generic finance advice around income, debt, 401ks, and pensions.
Karl S., Goodreads
The best thing one can invest in is oneself, and this book stresses the importance.
Cory W., Goodreads
I am completely blown away by the ability Garrett has to converge so many principles and topics into a well-knit tapestry of value.

Killing Sacred Cows changed my life and this book succinctly summed up the journey it sent me on years ago while pushing me to do more.

Why I wrote it

A new conversation for a changed world.

Thirteen years after Killing Sacred Cows, I wrote this follow-up in the wake of a global pandemic and technological revolution. I wanted to challenge the Sacred Cows in our relationships, careers, and how we play the game of life—not just our finances.

I’m a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author and grew up in a fourth-generation coal mining family. I’ve written 10 books on wealth, cash flow, and financial freedom. My signature approach: challenge what everyone assumes, lead with evidence, and build systems that create cash flow — not just accumulate assets.
