Brian Buffini, an Irish immigrant who went from rags to riches, shares his strategies for anyone who wants to achieve the American dream.

Born and raised in Dublin, Ireland, Brian Buffini immigrated to San Diego, California, at the age of 19, with only 92 dollars in his pocket. Since then he has become a classic American rags-to-riches story. After discovering real estate, he quickly became one of the nation's top real estate moguls and founder of the largest business training company, Buffini & Co., in North America.

But Brian isn't alone in his success - immigrants compose 13 percent of the American population and are responsible for a quarter of all new businesses. In fact Forbes magazine boasts that immigrants dominate most of the Forbes 400 list.

So what are the secrets? In The Emigrant Edge, Brian shares seven characteristics that he and other successful immigrants have in common that can help anyone reach a higher level of achievement, no matter their vocation. He then challenges listeners to leave the comfort of their current work conditions to apply these secrets and achieve the success of their dreams.

GREAT CONTENT

Some powerful insights and rules to live by. The author narrates the prologue and conclusion and his voice is very energetic. The narrator for the rest of the book made it difficult to get through at times. The main narrator's voice is soothing and kind of monotone which puts me to sleep even if the content is engaging.

Great Read (listen lol)

Very inspiring! Tons of information to improve life no matter what the circumstances you're in.

One of the best inspirational and motivational book I have listened to so far

it was funny, heartfelt, inspiring and especially valuable, thank you Brian. The book touched on several day to day issues and it was all so true and such great perspective

Inspirational and an interesting angle on how we are all emigrants.

Brian Buffini’s story is amazing! What’s more amazing is that I feel I can follow many of the steps he has taken and achieve many of the same things.

The one downside is he is not the narrator. Other than that it’s a quick and to the point book.

I’ll recommend it to many of my friends and family. Enjoy!
