Book SynopsisApril of 2022 marks a 25-year milestone for the personal finance classic Rich Dad Poor Dad that still ranks as the #1 Personal Finance book of all time. And although 25 years have passed since Rich Dad Poor Dad was first published, readers will find that very little in the book itself has changed — and for good reason. While so much in our world is changing a high speed, the lessons about money and the principles of Rich Dad Poor Dad haven’t changed. Today, as money continues to play a key role in our daily lives, the messages in Robert Kiyosaki’s international bestseller are more timely and more important than ever. Milestones While there is a milestone to commemorate — and a new section in the book on Why Milestones Are Important — preserving the integrity of the original content is testimony to the fact that this book has truly stood the test of time. The sidebars throughout the book (that were updated for the 20-year anniversary edition) have been updated again, but the core principles that parents and grandparents — those who embraced Robert’s story and messages 25 years ago — are sharing them with new generations who have found that its timeless wisdom and no-nonsense lessons can be applied to anyone’s life and their vision for a future that includes taking control of their finances. People of all cultures and countries celebrate milestones. We use them to measure time, mark progress, reflect on the lessons we’ve learned, and celebrate accomplishments… and they give meaning to our life’s journey. They are a way that we integrate past, present, and future… looking back at where we started, where we are today… and the promise of all that the future can hold. In the quarter century that has passed since Rich Dad Poor Dad was first published — 25 years since April 8, 1997 — so many things in our world have changed. But the one thing that has not changed is the pressing need for and the power of financial education. Money is still a mainstay of our lives, like it or not, and technology has brought both speed and innovations to the world of money. In an ever-changing world, we can all still get smarter when it comes to money… and learn as much as we can to secure our future. Still the One… #1 Today Rich Dad Poor Dad consistently ranks among bestsellers around the world in the categories of Personal Finance, Parenting, and Investing, has been translated into 38 languages, and has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide. Rich Dad Poor Dad is Robert's story of growing up with two dads — his real father and the father of his best friend, his rich dad — and the ways in which both men shaped his thoughts about money and investing. The book explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to be rich and explains the difference between working for money and having your money work for you. In many ways, the messages of Rich Dad Poor Dad, messages that were challenged and criticized 25 ago, are more meaningful, relevant, and important today than ever. Rich Dad Poor Dad... • Explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to become rich • Challenges the belief that your house is an asset • Shows parents why they can't rely on the school system to teach their kids about money • Defines once and for all an asset and a liability • Teaches you what to teach your kids about money for their future financial success

In this fully updated edition of his classic bestseller, Lynch explains how to research stocks and offers easy-to-follow directions for sorting out the long shots from the no shots.

Book SynopsisWhen planning for the future we often ask, "What will the economy be doing this time next year?" Or, "What will be different ten years from now?" But forecasting is hard. The important events that will shape the future are inherently unpredictable. Instead, we should be asking a different question: What will be the same ten years from now? What will be the same one hundred years from now? Knowledge of the things that never change is more useful, and more important, than an uncertain prediction of an unknowable future. In Same As Ever, bestselling author Morgan Housel shares 24 short stories about the ways that life, behaviour, and business will always be the same. Armed with this knowledge of the unchanging, you will have a powerful new ability to think about risk, opportunity, and how to navigate the uncertainty of the future. As you see familiar themes repeat again and again in the years ahead, you'll find yourself nodding and saying, "Yep, same as ever."

Book SynopsisIn Rich Dad's Conspiracy of the Rich, Robert Kiyosaki explores why many people are waiting for the political and financial systems of the world to change. He shares his opinion that it's easier to change yourself than to wait for our leaders and systems to change. Is it time for you to take control of your money and your financial future? Is it time to find out what those who control the financial world don't want you to know? Do you want complex and confusing financial concepts to be made simple? If you answered "yes" to these questions, then this book is for you. In 1971, after President Nixon took the U.S. dollar off the gold standard, the rules of money changed. And today, money is no longer money. That is why the first new rule of money is Money is knowledge. Robert Kiyosaki wrote this book for those who want to increase their financial knowledge and take control of their lives. According to Kiyosaki: We cannot see the world of the future with our eyes. "The world of the future is invisible, and we have to see it with our minds." Kiyosaki sees a new economy and new definitions of wealth. He believes that there will be new millionaires and billionaires. Money will be made at ultrahigh speed. The question is: Will you be among the new rich, or the new poor? The old economy, the economy as we knew it, is not coming back. A new economy is being born, an economy that will be led by kids born after 1990, young people who only know the invisible, high-speed world of the future.

Book SynopsisA new kind of manifesto for the working woman, with practical guidance on building wealth as well as inspiration for harnessing the freedom and power that comes from a breadwinning mindset.Women are now the main breadwinner in one-in-four households in the UK. Yet the majority of women still aren't being brought up to think like breadwinners. In fact, they're actively discouraged – by institutional bias and subconscious beliefs – from building their own wealth, pursuing their full earning potential, and providing for themselves and others financially. The result is that women earn less, owe more, and have significantly less money saved and invested for the future than men do. And if women do end up as the main breadwinner, they've been conditioned to feel reluctant and unprepared to manage the role.In Think Like a Breadwinner, financial expert Jennifer Barrett reframes what it really means to be a breadwinner by dismantling the narrative that women don't – and shouldn't – take full financial responsibility to create the lives they want. Featuring a wide variety of case studies from women at all stages of their careers and financial lives, Barrett shares the secrets of women who already think like breadwinners. Barrett reveals not only the importance of women building their own wealth, but also the freedom and power that comes with it.'Barrett’s manifesto is a must read for any woman at any stage of her career.' - Eve Rodsky, author of Fair PlayTrade ReviewThink Like a Breadwinner is the roadmap women need to take charge of their financial futures. Jennifer Barrett empowers readers to be unabashedly confident while getting smart about their money behaviors, ultimately unlocking their fullest potentials and wildest dreams. * Reshma Saujani, CEO and author of 'Girls Who Code' and author of 'Brave, Not Perfect' *Barrett’s manifesto is a must read for any woman at any stage of her career.

Book Synopsis“One of the best books I have read on investing in years. ” —Bill Ackman, founder and CEO, Pershing Square Capital Management From a successful investor and a contributor to Barron’s and Fortune comes a once-in-a-lifetime book that gives modern investors what they need most: a fresh guide to making money in a stock market now dominated by tech stocks.Technological change is reshaping the economy in a way not witnessed since Henry Ford introduced the assembly line. A little more than ten years ago, only two of the ten most valuable publicly traded companies in the world were digital enterprises—today, they comprise eight of the top ten. Investors around the world are struggling to understand the Digital Age and how they can use the stock market to profit from it. Author Adam Seessel understands. Several years ago, he watched his old-school portfolio built using traditional value investing principles decline while the market, driven by “expensive” tech stocks, advanced. Determined to reverse course, he set off in search of a new investment paradigm, one that remained true to the discipline that Ben Graham gave us a century ago while reflecting the new realities of the Digital Age. In this “helpful take on playing the stock market” (Publishers Weekly), Seessel introduces a refreshed value-based framework that any investor, professional or amateur, can use to beat the modern market. Like all sectors, the tech sector follows certain rules. We can study these rules, understand them, and invest accordingly. The world is changing, and we can profit from it. Approaching tech this way, the economy’s current changes and the rapid rise of tech stocks are not reasons to be frightened or disoriented—they’re reasons to be excited. Infused with the same kind of optimism and common sense that inspired Benjamin Graham’s The Intelligent Investor and Peter Lynch’s One Up on Wall Street, Where the Money Is ushers in a new era of modern value investing.Trade Review“One of the best books I have read on investing in years. Buying and reading this book will be one of the best investments you will ever make.” —Bill Ackman, founder and CEO, Pershing Square Capital Management “Seessel makes Graham and Dodd proud. He acknowledges value investing’s evolution to a purer form: focusing on mispriced businesses with high-quality, growing cash flows.” —Lisa Shalett, Chief Investment Officer, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management “Seessel puts his finger on a central tension in today’s economy and stock market: the rapid rise of software-driven businesses and the challenge/opportunity they present to many established industries. Just as importantly, he points the way toward how investors can prosper from the transition.” —Tim Stone, former chief financial officer of Amazon Web Services and Ford Motor Company “Where the Money Is should be required reading for anyone investing in the stock market, or wanting to. It honors and updates the intellectual and practical legacy of Ben Graham and Warren Buffett to account for the dramatic economic changes that continue to unfold in the 21st century.” —Joel Greenblatt, founder and managing principal of Gotham Asset Management and author of You Can Be a Stock Market Genius and The Little Book That Beats the Market “A helpful take on playing the stock market . . . Would-be investors struggling to understand a financial landscape in which FAANG has left GE in the dust will want to check this out.” —Publishers Weekly

Book SynopsisA profound and gripping memoir by Nicole Walters, the daughter of Ghanaian immigrants who became a self-made multi-millionaire by showing others how to recognize their own strengths—and her own harrowing journey to the discovery that she was worthy all along of the life of her dreams.Nothing Is Missing is a riveting, unputdownable story of what it takes to show up for yourself—and the joy that can come once you do. Raised in a home where food was unstable and anger was the norm, Nicole learned early that she needed to take charge of her own safety and security. So she did: She got into an elite private school by talking to a stranger in her dad’s cab, she strategized her way onto Wheel of Fortune to pay for college, she adopted three girls after meeting their mother panhandling, she quit her job to launch her own business, and she struggled. Hustling endlessly to try to achieve society’s definition of success left her exhausted, compromising her own sense of worth in order to accommodate others. Nicole worked herself straight into a health crisis that threatened her life and the family she had worked so hard to build. It was not until she was forced into a major reckoning in both her business and her marriage that Nicole realized that she was already enough, that she had and was everything that she needed. In Nothing Is Missing, Nicole contemplates how she was able to create the life she wanted using the strength she had within herself all along.Trade Review"Nicole is always authentically herself, and this book is no exception. Her abundant wisdom and courageousness inspires on every page.” — Octavia Spencer, Actress"She needed a hero, so she became one." --Nate Burleson, CBS Mornings"Nicole's insights are invaluable in helping you break cycles and create the life you truly desire. If you're feeling stuck or uninspired, this book is exactly what you need to get back on track and start flourishing." - Nedra Glover Tawwab, New York Times bestselling author of Set Boundaries, Find Peace“Starting over in life is something every woman experiences—with marriage, career, and reinventing themselves. In this book, Nicole Walters transparently shares her own story as a first-generation Ghanaian American growing up and navigating how to show up entirely while society tells her there’s always something missing. This book is for every shelf in need of a bit of inspiration!” –Rachel Cargle, activist, entrepreneur, and author of A Renaissance of Our OwnNicole is my friend and I love her, but reading this book shook me. Don’t mistake her shiny, megawatt smile for ease; she has suffered, persevered, and overcome. Nicole's story is no joke. I couldn’t decide if I wanted to weep on the floor for such a tender retelling, or demand through a megaphone that every woman I know read this. The best endorsement I can give is this: I will immediately put this book in the hands of my daughters.” —Jen Hatmaker, Speaker, Host of the For the Love Podcast, and 4x New York Times Bestseller author"In this sparkling and impassioned story, [Walters] found passion in choosing herself… a celebration of self-actualization and belief, with a beating heart at the center.” —Glamour "Like only she can, Nicole’s beautiful storytelling in Nothing is Missing both inspires and affirms. After the tears, after laughing out loud, readers will find themselves reflecting on how they too can not just survive but thrive. Nicole’s story will resonate with anyone who has the courage to defy and transform any prevailing narratives about who they are or should be. This book is a must-read for anyone determined to create a life they love." —Tracey Michae’l Lewis-Giggetts, Author of Black Joy: Stories of Resistance, Resilience, and Restoration“Nothing Is Missing is a testament to self-discovery and the transformative power of recognizing one's strengths. You will feel seen and supported, and will be given a path to create the life you deserve." —Amy Porterfield, author of New York Times bestseller Two Weeks Notice“From the first sentence, Nicole’s story hooked me, and I walked away with this mantra reverberating in my ears: Everything’s very wrong. Everything is also very right. But nothing is missing. Nicole is as relatable as they come, all while reminding you to realize that you are worthy when you wake up. It’s a story of what it means to live the American dream and what happens when your dreams change into something more beautiful than you ever imagined. I sped through every page.” –Sharon McMahon, Author, Educator, & "America's Government Teacher"
