Robbins interviewed many leading investors and financial thinkers, including Ray Dalio, John Bogle and Carl Icahn, and distilled what he learned into seven steps.

He stresses the power of compounding and describes Save More Tomorrow, an approach in which people commit in advance to save a larger share of future pay rises.
