Suze Orman
Spiegel & Grau, 2007
Great Book
I am a young-ish, successful sales-woman, looking to further my knowledge about general finances and investing. This book is great, as it is easy to read and very informative. Suzie does a great job of speaking to all different types of women: stay at home moms, those heavily in debt, and those who are looking to grow their money in the future. Most importantly, she ties these need-to-know ...

Bad Money: Reckless Finance, Failed Politics, and the Global Crisis of American Capitalism 22 reviews
Kevin Phillips
Viking Adult, 2008
Finally--understand why you're paying $5 for gas!
This is a stunning book. If you wondered why your gas prices have tripled over the last year, why your jaw drops every week when you see the cost of groceries at the store, and yet the government says there's no inflation, this book explains *everything*. Before, I just couldn't get it. I thought I must be missing something obvious. But it's not obvious. You and I have been very carefully duped. ...

Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money--That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!2138 reviews
Robert T. Kiyosaki, Sharon L. Lechter
Business Plus, 2000
Fantastic Book
This book is amazing. I would recommend this to any at any age. I read this in High School and it changed my life. I now own a successful startup company and it is all thanks to the rich dad series for inspiring me to NOT GET A JOB! I recently bought this for my 13 year old brother in law as well. It is not a HOW TO but rather a THINK ABOUT how to!

I have been putting off getting my finances in order simply because I was afraid it would be a huge hassle. This book not only help me accomplish my goal, but it also got me so pumped about it, I got my two grown children and their husband and girlfriend to go along for the ride. It has been a wonderful family learning experience with actual fun mixed in along the journey.

Took me a while
but I did finish it. I now know how ignorant I am of what bad shape our country has gotten into. A great book to get you to understand what is at stake with the disregard of our constitution. A must read.

There are three books that shed light on today's worldwide financial crisis. Second and third are Morris and Soros (2008), the first and most basic is the one that I reviewed last year: Eichengreen's `Globalizing Capital'. The review can be found on the econophysics web page or on amazon.de.

This is truly common sense
This is an excellent book for any investor. The straight common sense advice that this book provides will help everyone with their investment portfolios. The best quote from the book is "the miracle of compounding interest is overwhelmed by the tyranny of cost". Through index funds, the author explains how to cut costs and caption the return of the entire stock market. This is an excellent ...

Cash Games (How to Win at No-Limit Hold'em Money Games) Vol. 112 reviews
Dan Harrington, Bill Robertie
Two Plus Two Publishing LLC, 2008
Very impressive!
I'm a relative beginner to cash games and I found this book very helpful. Given the amount of complete trash out there (written about hold'em) either blatant or disguised as "deeply theoretical" this book surprised me by its depth and really helped me to start thinking correctly about the game.
My advice to other authors: please don't write about poker unless your results prove that you are ...

Great book
I am a financial advisor and I frequently loan this book to clients and they usually love it. Its also a great book to give to young people. It really gets across the message that you don't have to make a lot of money to be wealthy, you just have to live below your means and invest well. Highly recommended.

Jim Cramer's Real Money: Sane Investing in an Insane World264 reviews
James J. Cramer
Simon & Schuster, 2005
Great Listening. A must for amateurs like me
Very easy to understand book. The author knows the audience very well and the strong and weak points about them. He has tried honestly hard to make sure the amateur stock investors learn the tricks of the game and equip themselves with knowledge they need before venturing into a brutal game of stock investment.

A Bull in China: Investing Profitably in the World's Greatest Market31 reviews
Jim Rogers
Random House, 2007
China is the place to be!
I want to start off by saying this was an extremely interesting book. I read it fast. This book is a no nonsense view of what is taking place in China as well as a kind of "how to guide" for investing there. It is very broad based and should be a part of everyone's library especially for anyone wondering how they can invest successfully in China this book gives quite a few answers to that ...

Julie Salamon
Penguin Press HC, The, 2008
Smarter than "ER," more entertaining than "Scrubs," and more drama than "Grey's Anatomy"
Usually when I hear someone mention health care, my eyes tend to glaze over. It's an issue that affects us all, but it's not always an interesting one. This book changed my mind about that. It offers a glimpse into the human side of health care by portraying an array of doctors, nurses, patients, administrators, and community leaders. Salamon thoroughly explains the interactions and ...

The Richest Man in Babylon388 reviews
George S. Clason
Signet, 2002
Clasic, classic, classic.
I have read a lot of finance books by a lot of different authors: Bach, Chatzky, Orman, Kiyosaki just to name a few, but the "Richest Man in Babylon" is the simplest, most clear cut. It also has the least ego (thank you Eckhart Tolle). Simple is good in my case. I don't like a lot of fancy words clouding my understanding of finance. Clason repeats what a lot of other finance experts say, but the ...
