Book Description
From the inception of the industrial revolution into our present “nano technology” information age, Wealth and those who have it, continue to proliferate. Ever consider why during our early schools years and later in college we are taught how to be capable employees, but not business owners and wealthy? Calculated design or just an oversight? Is there a “Wealth Game” in progress about which you never received the memo? Many coming into large sums of money, either through hard work, inheritance, or even “instant millionaires” who’ve won hundreds of millions with a lottery ticket, have been unable to keep their earnings; and in the latter’s case, remain a “millionaire.” Why not? And, would their new, millionaire status really mean they were actually “wealthy?” Why is “wealth” obtained and sustained by some, while, obtained and dwindled away by others? Are there Secrets? How do you change from wanting to be “rich,” to desiring to become “truly wealthy?” Is there a difference? What’s the Secret? How do you get wealth? How do you hold on to more of what you earn on your way to wealth? What’s the Secret? “Secrets Of The Wealth Game: What They Hoped You’d Never Find Out,” takes you behind the scenes and into the world of wealth and reveals the secrets of how the “Founding Financial Fathers” in this country obtained and have sustained their wealth through multiple generations. “Secrets Of The Wealth Game” makes their secrets your secrets; reveals their strategies and the financial tools that will enable you to track their footprints to financial success, wealth protection and the ability to sustain both. “to acquire is nothing, to keep is everything” --- The Zurich Group, LLC

The Stranger
Author: Max Frei
Publisher: Abrams
ISBN: 1590200608
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 456
Book Description
The Russian author’s international-bestselling series begins with this “well-written, well-paced grown-up fantasy with a strong dose of reality” (Kirkus Reviews). Fandomania.com’s #1 Book of 2009 To put it bluntly, Max Frei is a loser. He spends his day sleeping and at night he smokes, eats, and loafs around because he can’t catch a wink. But then he gets lucky. Through his dreams, he begins to contact a parallel world where magic is a daily practice—and, strangely, Max seems to fit right in. Once a social outcast, he’s now known in this new world of Echo as the “unequalled Sir Max.” He’s a member of the Department of Absolute Order, formed by a species of enchanted secret agents; his job is to solve cases involving illegal magic. And he’s about to embark on a journey down the winding paths of this strange and unhinged universe. “Fans of Jasper Fforde and Susanna Clark will happily jump into Frei’s world.” —USA Today “If Harry Potter smoked cigarettes and took a certain matter-of-fact pleasure in administering tough justice, he might like Max Frei, the protagonist of this fantasy novel.” —Kirkus Reviews

The Uncollected Stories of Allan Gurganus
Author: Allan Gurganus
Publisher: Liveright Publishing
ISBN: 1631498762
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
One of “the best writers of our time” (Ann Patchett) offers this hilarious yet haunting cycle of stories—all previously uncollected. Since the explosive publication of Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All, Allan Gurganus has dazzled readers as “the most technically gifted and morally responsive writer of his generation” (John Cheever). He has been praised as "one of America’s preeminent novelists, our prime conductor of electric sentences" (William Giraldi). Above all, Allan Gurganus is a seriously funny writer, an expert at evoking humor, especially in our troubled times. Now he offers nine classic tales—never before between covers. They attest to his mastery of the short story and the growing depth of his genius. Offering characters antic and tragic, Gurganus charts the human condition—masked and unmasked—as we live it now. “Once upon a time” collides with the everyday. We meet a mortician whose dedication to his departed clients exceeds all legal limits. We encounter a seaside couple fighting to save their family dog from Maine’s fierce undertow. A virginal seventy-eight-year-old grammar school librarian has her sole erotic experience with a polyamorous snake farmer. A vicious tornado sends twin boys aloft, leaving only one of them alive. And, in an eerily prescient story, cholera strikes a rural village in 1849 and citizens come to blame their doomed young doctor who saved hundreds. These meticulously crafted parables recall William Faulkner’s scope and Flannery O’Connor’s corrosive wit. Imbuing each story with charged drama, Gurganus, a sublime ventriloquist, again proves himself among our funniest writers and our wisest.

The New York Times bestseller that gives “readers with an entrepreneurial turn of mind . . . road maps on how millionaires found their niches” (USA Today). The author of the blockbuster bestseller The Millionaire Next Door: The Surprising Secrets of America’s Wealthy shows how self-made millionaires have surmounted shortcomings such as average intelligence by carefully choosing their careers, taking calculated risks, and living balanced lifestyles while maintaining their integrity. Dr. Thomas J. Stanley also builds on his research from The Millionaire Next Door and takes us further into the psyche of the American millionaire.

It’s an inspiration for anyone who has ever been told that he wasn’t smart enough or good enough.” —Associated Press “A high IQ isn’t necessarily an indicator of financial success . . .
