"I finished reading this book about a week ago on my Kindle and absolutely loved it! I simply could not put it down and it only led to me buying (and also really enjoying) Nadine’s second book, (“The Sequelâ€) and third book (“The Escape Manualâ€.) I would read the book at night before bed after a long day of work and would find myself fighting to stay up later to try and get deeper into the book.
To give you an idea of just how much I loved this book, I am literally typing this review right now from a bed and breakfast just outside of the San Jose airport in Costa Rica as I landed here late last night. I did not choose to read Nadine’s book because I was thinking about calling Costa Rica home. I came to Costa Rica because a friend suggested that I read “Happier than a Billionaire†and I connected so much with Nadine and her husband, Rob’s, story that I decided to come here to explore it as a place to call home in the near future.
Nadine is a fantastic story-teller. She is hilarious, with a great sense of humor, but she does not sugar-coat anything. She is direct and to the point about the challenges of Costa Rica including pot holes and road issues, dealing with the complexities of moving to a new country and the specific challenges that the Costa Rican government and culture present in terms and how they are constantly on “Tico Timeâ€, etc.
I am inspired by Nadine’s resolve despite the issues that she and Rob have faced in Costa Rica. They realized that the “life†of a big house, nice cars, etc. they were living in the United States wasn’t doing anything but literally sucking the “life†out of them and that regardless of what adversity they faced, they are going to make it work and carve out their own piece of paradise together."

Happier Than A Billionaire Quitting My Job Moving to Costa Rica and Living the Zero Hour Work Week eBook Nadine Hays Pisani Reviews
- My goal isn't to quit my job and move to Costa Rica. My dream is to actually quit my job, buy a sailboat and go live in the Caribbean. Last year, my wife and I traveled to Ecuador for our 25th anniversary. The trip awakened my mental memoirs and I fondly remembered my traveling exploits in Europe and the Mediterranean from my early twenties. Once again, I was bitten by the travel bug (or tick) and it had firmly latched ahold. So, for the past year I've been reading the tomes of various writers who have literally jumped ship from the daily grind and started living once again. I first read this book last November when I picked up the kindle edition. I immediately felt a kinship with Rob as my employment can appear like a lifeless, soul sucking, vampiric succubus as well.
I was intrigued as much by the decisions made to simply pick up and just leave everything behind as I was of the recounted new Costa Rican adventures (or perhaps misadventures might be more appropriate). I was pleasantly captivated enough to finish the book in one setting.
In the past year I've read a myriad of books with regards to ex-pats pulling up stakes and moving everywhere from Argentina to Zimbabwe (I know, who moves to Zimbabwe? But they're out there). However, this is the book that continued to pop up during conversations about the subject at my place of employment (amongst those longing for a remodeled life).
Is it the next great American (Costa Rican) novel? No, but it is a fun read. While, it doesn't cover the logistics of moving to Costa Rica it managed to pique my interest enough that Costa Rica is now my back-up plan if my sailing adventure fails to catch wind.
After a wonderful Thanksgiving meal today with my family. I retired to the couch, kindle in hand, for another subliminal getaway. This book appeared at the top of my reading list. My travel desire rekindled, I fondly began to reread the novel while enviously yearning to live my life more fully. - I chose to read this book because of the subject matter. Relocating to another country and travel stories interest me, I love to hear stories of other traveler's experiences and find it fascinating how other people view different cultures. I did not expect to be laughing out loud while reading this. I absolutely love the way she writes. We had traveled to Costa Rica and Panama ourselves and so much of what she described in her travels were things that we saw and experienced. It was fun to re-live some of our trip. I can't wait to read the second book!
- This book is very inspirational. As a blossoming day-trader, I wanted to find a paradise such as Costa Rica to call home. I am not there yet, but this book demonstrates, with a bit of patience and perseverance, that it can done. Thank you Nadine for writing this masterpiece. And for all the people wondering if there's something better out there than our materialistic, self-obsessed country, spend the few bucks and get this book NOW! It would be unimaginably difficult to regret it.
- I have never laughed so hard when reading a book! Nadine has a sense of humor like I do! I could see myself in her shoes while reading this book. I am so glad I have been at home while reading her books because I would have not been able to ready this book while in public because of my out bursts of laughter! I am currently reading her 2nd book right now and I am trying hard not read it so fast because I don't want it to end..... Thank you Nadine for making me laugh, I will definately recommend it to all my friends. Just so you know, I found this book by seeing her Facebook pictures & posts on a friend Facebook page.
We recently vacationed in Lahina (Maui), Hawaii and would love to retire in a few years to an island or at least a year around warm climate, we are tired of the midwest weather, however, I am not brave enough to move to another country that speaks a different language! I admire your strength and humor! I hope you are planning on writing another book soon! - I finished reading this book about a week ago on my and absolutely loved it!

I am now on Book 3! This series had me hooked by the first page. I love the author's ability to tell a good story and describe situations with accuracy, enthusiasm, and emotion. That she throws sarcasm in there too makes her stories first person, yet multi-dimensional. Love'in this series and I hope my Super Hubs and I can rent a few nights in their guesthouse the next time we visit CR!
