Rich Dad Poor DadRobert T. Kiyosaki
In Rich Dad Poor Dad, the #1 Personal Finance book of all time, Robert Kiyosaki shares the story of his two dad: his real father, whom he calls his ‘poor dad,’ and the father of his best friend, the man who became his mentor and his ‘rich dad.’ One man was well educated and an employee all his life, the other’s education was “street smarts” over traditional classroom education and he took the path of entrepreneurship…a road that led him to become one of the wealthiest men in Hawaii. Robert’s poor dad struggled financially all his life, and these two dads—these very different points of view of money, investing, and employment—shaped Robert’s thinking about money. Robert has challenged and changed the way tens of millions of people, around the world, think about money and investing and he has become a global advocate for financial education and the path to financial freedom. Rich Dad Poor Dad (and the Rich Dad series it spawned) has sold over 36 million copies in English and translated editions around the world. Rich Dad Poor Dad will… • explode the myth that you need to earn a high income to become rich • challenge the belief that your house is an asset • show parents why they can’t rely on the school system to teach their kids about money • define, once and for all, an asset and a liability • explain the difference between good debt and bad debt • teach you to see the world of money from different perspectives • discuss the shift in mindset that can put you on the road to financial freedom

The Psychology of MoneyMorgan Housel
The Sunday Times Number One Bestseller. Over 10 million copies sold around the world. The original book from Morgan Housel, the New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author of Same As Ever and The Art of Spending Money. As featured on the Dr Chatterjee podcast Feel Better, Live More and the Diary of a CEO podcast with Steven Bartlett. Doing well with money isn't necessarily about what you know. It's about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. Money – investing, personal finance, and business decisions – is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don't make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life's most important topics.

This is a must-read for parents and coaches and anyone else looking to prepare for life's biggest challenges."—Malcolm Gladwell, author of Outliers and Talking to Strangers and host of the Revisionist History podcast From beloved performance expert, executive coach, and coauthor of Peak Performance Steve Magness comes a radical rethinking of mental toughness and what it means to achieve our high ambitions in the face of hard things. Toughness has long been held as the key to overcoming a challenge and achieving greatness, whether it is on the sports field, at a boardroom, or at the dining room table.

In Do Hard Things , Magness teaches us how we can work with our body – how experiencing discomfort, leaning in, paying attention, and creating space to take thoughtful action can be the true indications of cultivating such resilience. He offers four core pillars to cultivate such resilience: Pillar 1: Ditch the Façade, Embrace RealityPillar 2: Listen to Your BodyPillar 3: Respond, Instead of React Pillar 4: Transcend Discomfort Smart and wise all at once, this life-changing self-help book flips the script on what it means to be resilient. Drawing from mindfulness, military case studies, sports psychology, neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy, he provides a roadmap for navigating life’s challenges, overcoming performance anxiety, and achieving the kind of high performance that makes us happier, more successful, and, ultimately, better people.

Second ChanceRobert T. Kiyosaki
Few would argue with the fact that, on many fronts, we are a world in crisis. And there are two sides to every crisis, be it a leadership crisis, an economic crisis, an education crisis or a moral crisis. The two side to crisis are danger and opportunity. Robert Kiyosaki’s new book, Second Chance…for Your Money and Your Life, uses the lessons from the past and a brutal assessment of the present to prepare readers to see—–and seize–—the future. If readers can train their minds to see what their eyes cannot, in a world that is becoming increasingly more ‘invisible’ and moving at a high rate of speed, they can have a second chance at creating the life they’ve always wanted. The global problems we face cannot be solved by the same minds and people who created them and today’s world demands the ability to see the future and prepare for what lies ahead…prepare for the opportunities as well as the challenges. Like it or not, we are all involved in the greatest evolutionary event in human history. The Industrial Age is over and the Information Age continues to accelerate. The visible agents of change have become invisible…and harder to see. And the future belongs to those who can train their minds, use the past to see the future, and take the steps to create the positive change they want to see in their lives. Second Chance is a guide to understanding how the past will shape the future and how you can use Information Age tools and insights to create a fresh start. This book is a guide to facing head-on the dangers of the crises around us—and steps and tips for seizing the opportunities they present.

How to RetireChristine Benz
What are the secrets to a healthy, happy, and wealthy retirement? To answer that question, longtime Morningstar columnist and podcaster Christine Benz asked 20 retirement thought leaders to go deep on a single lesson that they believe contributes to success in retirement. These lessons range from nitty gritty financial matters to quality-of-life considerations that help pre-retirees and retirees maximize their “time on earth” allocations. On the financial side of the ledger, the book delves into knowing your retirement income style (Wade Pfau), understanding how your spending might change in retirement (David Blanchett), and organizing your portfolio to support in-retirement cash flows (William Bernstein). Other interviews probe softer but no less important considerations, such as how to spend in order to optimize happiness (Ramit Sethi), the value of burnishing relationships later in life (Laura Carstensen), and living life so that you have no regrets in the end (Jordan Grumet). These lessons help soon-to-retire and already-retired individuals and their advisors tackle retirement with confidence, wisdom, and a specific plan for maximizing their financial and human capital.

The Millionaire Next DoorThomas J. Stanley & William D. Danko
How do the rich get rich? An updated edition of the "remarkable" New York Times bestseller, based on two decades of research ( The Washington Post ). Most of the truly wealthy in the United States don't live in Beverly Hills or on Park Avenue. They live next door. America's wealthy seldom get that way through an inheritance or an advanced degree. They bargain-shop for used cars, raise children who don't realize how rich their families are, and reject a lifestyle of flashy exhibitionism and competitive spending. In fact, the glamorous people many of us think of as "rich" are actually a tiny minority of America's truly wealthy citizens—and behave quite differently than the majority. At the time of its first publication, The Millionaire Next Door was a groundbreaking examination of America's rich—exposing for the first time the seven common qualities that appear over and over among this exclusive demographic. This edition includes a new foreword by Dr. Thomas J. Stanley—updating the original content in the context of the financial crash and the twenty-first century. "Their surprising results reveal fundamental qualities of this group that are diametrically opposed to today's earn-and-consume culture." — Library Journal

The Making of a PermabearJeremy Grantham
"The tension between what the market is doing and what, by the author’s lights, it ought to be doing, will keep investment-minded readers turning these smart and accessible pages....[A] fine and essential work.”—James Grant, The Wall Street Journal From the renowned iconoclast investor comes a brilliant account of sixty years spent hunting for value and sidestepping bubbles in a changing financial world When Jeremy Grantham entered the investment business in the 1960s, he brought the thrifty Quaker values and Yorkshire independence he had been raised with. While other money managers were focused on blue chip stocks, he studied stock market history and constructed by hand the first indices for small-cap and value stocks. Charting their ebb and flow, he could see clearly the powerful force that would become central to his investment philosophy: mean reversion, “the heartbreaking principle that good times always revert back to more boring, more ordinary times.” In the early 1970s Grantham was a pioneer of index investing. Soon after, he co-founded GMO and spent the firm’s early earnings on a hard drive the size of an industrial washing machine, becoming the first firm to use a computer for investment analysis. This quantitative style went on to take over the industry. In the late 1990s Grantham acquired notoriety as a “permabear” for refusing to buy into the dotcom mania. Clients left in droves—one called him “dangerously persuasive and totally wrong”—but he was vindicated when the bubble burst in 2000. Yet while his wealth grew, so did his alarm at the disastrous consequences of short-term thinking not just for investors but for the very future of the planet, and he has directed nearly all his wealth to environmental protection. Written with his former colleague, the bestselling financial historian Edward Chancellor, The Making of a Permabear is replete with investment insights and provides a compellingly candid and witty insider’s tour of the booms and busts of the past half century.

Intentional Retirement: Designing the Architecture of Your Second ActGary L Fretwell
It started with a sting of truth. When Gary Fretwell's Uncle Carl looked him square in the eye and told him, "Gary, you suck at retirement," it launched a journey that would eventually produce his first book, Embracing Retirement, a survival guide for those scrambling to find footing after leaving the professional world. But surviving a transition, Fretwell discovered, is only the beginning. The deeper and more important question remained: once you stop running, where do you walk? Intentional Retirement is Fretwell's answer to that question, and it is a substantial one. Where his first book helped readers stop the bleeding of an identity crisis, this sequel moves from reaction to architecture, from the "frantic baseline" of early retirement to the deliberate, purposeful design of a life that continues to matter. This is not a book about staying busy. It is a field guide for living deep. A Strategic Perspective on Aging Grounded in psychology, neurobiology, cognitive science, and Stoic philosophy, the book makes a bold argument: retirement is not a financial milestone or a calendar event; it is a profound psychological and existential design challenge. The decades spent building a career don't just shape our schedules; they shape our sense of self, our rhythms, and our internal wiring. When that structure dissolves, freedom and time arrive all at once, but the inner habits formed over forty years remain fully intact. The result, for many, is restlessness masquerading as leisure. Fretwell offers a path through that restlessness through Intentional Design , structured across four critical pillars: • The Foundation: Confronting "Identity De-Coupling." Fretwell explores the shift from deriving self-worth from a job title to discovering who you are without one, moving from doing to being and from status to utility. • The Framework: Navigating the emotional and relational terrain. This section addresses Generativity, Emotional Agility, and Social Architecture, rebuilding a tribe based on affinity rather than professional proximity. • The Vitality Engine: Building physical, mental, and spiritual infrastructure. A key maneuver involves moving from being the "sage on the stage" to the "guide on the side," replacing command with curiosity. • Legacy and Creative Expression: Viewing your experience as an asset class. Fretwell argues that legacy is not a monument erected after death, but a living practice built through "Social Heirlooms" and intentional mentorship. From Blueprint to Action Throughout the work, Fretwell weaves together personal narrative with practical tools, including reflection prompts, Intentional Insights , and a comprehensive Second Act Workbook . These worksheets cover the Wisdom Audit, the Ikigai Intersection, and a 30-Day Launch Protocol to ensure insights translate into a lived reality. Intentional Retirement is for the executive, the educator, the entrepreneur, and the professional who knows that "not working" is not a life strategy and who is ready to architect something worthy of the wisdom they have earned. Your second act starts now. Build it with intention.
