It s the book about money for people who don t even want to think about money, until the arrival of that inevitable day when we all realize "we must come to terms with this thing called money.

In "The Art of Money, " Bari Tessler offers an integrative approach that creates the real possibility of "money healing, " using our relationship with money as a gateway to self awareness and a training ground for compassion, confidence, and self worth. Tessler s gentle techniques weave together emotional depth, big picture visioning, and refreshingly accessible, nitty gritty money practices that will help anyone transform their relationship with money and, in so doing, transform their life.

Hypercapitalism
By Kasser, Timothy
PAPERBACK ORIGINAL From the bestselling cartoonist of The Cartoon History of the Universe comes an explosive graphic takedown of capitalismBestselling "overeducated cartoonist" Larry Gonick has delighted readers for years with sharp, digestible, and funny accounts of everything from the history of the universe to the intricacies of calculus. Now Gonick teams up with psychologist and scholar Tim Kasser to create an accessible and pointed cartoon guide to how global, privatizing, market-worshiping hypercapitalism threatens human well-being, social justice, and the planet. But Gonick and Kasser don't stop at an analysis of how the economic system got out of whack - they also point the way to a healthier future. A primer for the post-Occupy generation, Hypercapitalism draws from contemporary research on values, well-being, and consumerism to describe concepts (corporate power, free trade, privatization, deregulation) that are critical for understanding the world we live in, and movements (voluntary simplicity, sharing, alternatives to GDP, protests) that have developed in response to the system. Gonick and Kasser's pointed and profound cartoon narratives provide a deep exploration of the global economy and the movements seeking to change it, all rendered in clear, graphic - and sometimes hilarious - terms.

The Lost Secret

What if I told you that there are 2 lost chapters to the infamous Think and Grow Rich? And what if I told you that those 2 lost chapters reveal the MISSING SECRET to getting anything and everything you've ever wanted ... and much, much more? There is a reason that this information was hidden from the mass public. It is because it was too powerful for the common man and woman to know. Times have changed. Not only are people ready to see this missing secret but they are much better equipped to use this power to change the trajectory of their lives, especially now more than ever in our chaotic, depressed, and anxiety-ridden society. For the first time ever, you'll finally come to know the REAL SECRET that Napoleon Hill always wanted us to know but couldn't get it published in his time.

From the Ground Up
By Schultz, Howard
From the longtime CEO and chairman of Starbucks, a bold, dramatic work about the new responsibilities that leaders, businesses, and citizens share in American society today - as viewed through the intimate lens of one man's life and work. What do we owe one another? How do we channel our drive, ingenuity, even our pain, into something more meaningful than individual success? And what is our duty in the places where we live, work, and play? These questions are at the heart of the American journey. They are also ones that Howard Schultz has grappled with personally since growing up in the Brooklyn housing projects and while building Starbucks from eleven stores into one of the world's most iconic brands. In From the Ground Up, Schultz looks for answers in two interwoven narratives. One story shows how his conflicted boyhood - including experiences he has never before revealed - motivated Schultz to become the first in his family to graduate from college, then to build the kind of company his father, a working-class laborer, never had a chance to work for: a business that tries to balance profit and human dignity. A parallel story offers a behind-the-scenes look at Schultz's unconventional efforts to challenge old notions about the role of business in society. From health insurance and free college tuition for part-time baristas to controversial initiatives about race and refugees, Schultz and his team tackled societal issues with the same creativity and rigor they applied to changing how the world consumes coffee. Throughout the book, Schultz introduces a cross-section of Americans transforming common struggles into shared successes. In these pages, lost youth find first jobs, aspiring college students overcome the yoke of debt, post-9/11 warriors replace lost limbs with indomitable spirit, former coal miners and opioid addicts pave fresh paths, entrepreneurs jump-start dreams, and better angels emerge from all corners of the country. From the Ground Up is part candid memoir, part uplifting blueprint of mutual responsibility, and part proof that ordinary people can do extraordinary things. At its heart, it's an optimistic, inspiring account of what happens when we stand up, speak out, and come together for purposes bigger than ourselves. Here is a new vision of what can be when we try our best to lead lives through the lens of humanity. "Howard Schultz's story is a clear reminder that success is not achieved through individual determination alone, but through partnership and community. Howard's commitment to both have helped him build one of the world's most recognized brands. It will be exciting to see what he accomplishes next." - Bill Gates
