ISBN-13: 9780345472328
Published: 2007-12-26
Publisher: Ballantine Books

Book Description:
World-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck, in decades of research on achievement and success, has discovered a truly groundbreaking idea–the power of our mindset.Dweck explains why it’s not just our abilities and talent that bring us success–but whether we approach them with a fixed or growth mindset. She makes clear why praising intelligence and ability doesn’t foster self-esteem and lead to accomplishment, but may actually jeopardize success. With the right mindset, we can motivate our kids and help them to raise their grades, as well as reach our own goals–personal and professional. Dweck reveals what all great parents, teachers, CEOs, and athletes already know: how a simple idea about the brain can create a love of learning and a resilience that is the basis of great accomplishment in every area.

ISBN-13: 9781418486884
Published: 2004-09-30
Publisher: Authorhouse

This book perfectly illustrates why most people lose in the stock market, even when tremendous opportunities are presented to them. A spectacular move of over 7000% in 52 weeks was offered to the public and still the vast majority of the public either lost money or did not make any significant gains on the stock. Only a handful of the insiders made money on the move. Written as a fiction surrounding such a stock, the book offers simple lessons to the lay person about how to improve one's odds for success in the stock market, and it does so with an entertaining and enlightening storyline. The story offers an insight into the rewarding way Wall Street works for the insiders and how it shows a different face to the outsiders.

The Way to Wealth (Little Books of Wisdom)
Author: Benjamin Franklin
ISBN-10: 0918222885
ISBN-13: 9780918222886
Published: 1986-09-01
Publisher: Applewood Books

Book Description:
The first American book on personal finance, The Way to Wealth by Benjamin Franklin is still the best and wisest money book ever written. Originally published in 1758 as the preface to Poor Richard's Almanack, this little gem has been through innumerable printings and sold millions of copies to those in search of smart but entertaining advice about hard work, earning and saving money and debt. As the 21st Century charges along and the current economic climate continues to send out mixed messages, Franklin's simple but wise commentary on the value of industry and frugality resonates as much for us today as it did for listeners nearly 350 years ago. Here is a sample:• “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”• “If you would be wealthy, think of saving, as well as of getting.”• “If you would have your business done, go; if not, send.”• “Think what you do when you run into debt; you give to another power over your liberty.”• “Creditors have better memories than debtors.” Although older than the United States itself, The Way to Wealth is still very popular. It is handed out by major companies and financial institutions to friends, clients, and customers and is the January, 2004 selection of The Washington Post's the Color of Money Book Club. As Michelle Singletary, director of the Club wrote in a column about The book, “At just 30 pages, this pocket–size book takes less than an hour to read but will give you a lifetime of financial wisdom—that is if you're wise enough to follow the advice.”

Breakout Nations: In Pursuit of the Next Economic Miracles
Author: Ruchir Sharma
ISBN-10: 0393080269
ISBN-13: 9780393080261
Published: 2012-04-09
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company

Book Description:
One of Foreign Policy's "21 Books to Read in 2012"A Publisher's Weekly Top 10 Business BookAfter a decade of rapid growth, the world’s most celebrated emerging markets are poised to slow down. Which countries will rise to challenge them?To identify the economic stars of the future we should abandon the habit of extrapolating from the recent past and lumping wildly diverse countries together. We need to remember that sustained economic success is a rare phenomenon. As an era of easy money and easy growth comes to a close, China in particular will cool down. Other major players including Brazil, Russia, and India face their own daunting challenges and inflated expectations. The new "breakout nations" will probably spring from the margins, even from the shadows. Ruchir Sharma, one of the world’s largest investors in emerging markets for Morgan Stanley, here identifies which are most likely to leap ahead and why. After two decades spent traveling the globe tracking the progress of developing countries, Sharma has produced a book full of surprises: why the overpriced cocktails in Rio are a sign of revival in Detroit; how the threat of the "population bomb" came to be seen as a competitive advantage; how an industrial revolution in Asia is redefining what manufacturing can do for a modern economy; and how the coming shakeout in the big emerging markets could shift the spotlight back to the West, especially American technology and German manufacturing. What emerges is a clear picture of the shifting balance of global economic power and how it plays out for emerging nations and for the West. In a captivating exploration studded with vignettes, Sharma reveals his rules on how to spot economic success stories. Breakout Nations is a rollicking education for anyone looking to understand where the future will happen. 12 photographs
