This book is about how the average person can get rich. It is written for those with little or no savings who have a modest income and no college degree. These challenges make it hard to get rich, but How to Get Rich presents information to make it possible. This book is not about how to get rich quickly due to luck but rather how to live life and think in certain ways that will bring you wealth through design.It is not easy to get rich, but this book offers a simple, straightforward path. It begins by asking if you have the eight necessary characteristics to achieve wealth. It then presents the method the richest man in Babylon used to get rich, including his seven cures for a lean purse and five rules of gold. A full chapter is devoted to how to get a high-paying job without a college degree and discusses four points to keep in mind when choosing one. Two chapters provide basic financial knowledge and important information about common stocks and which to invest in. Stock gurus Benjamin Graham, Peter Lynch and Forbes's eleven points of agreement on stock investing are presented along with their views on what not to do.The final chapters deal with four things that enhance wealth, like saving through an investment savings account and budgeting, along with suggestions on how to improve on them, and four things that detract from wealth like inflation and debt, along with solutions to avoid them. Throughout the book, twenty-seven rules of how to get rich are developed and conclusively summarized. The final chapter offers a bigger philosophic view of the relationship between wealth and happiness. If you want to get rich, read this book, and if you want to be happy, read the last chapter.

A Reader's Companion III, 3,500 words and phrases avid readers should know is the third in a trilogy of books on words. Some of the words are included in this edition because they are similar like immanent, which means existing within or inherent in something, eminent which means of superior position and imminent which means about to happen. A phoneme is the smallest speech sound that distinguishes one word from another that carries the words meaning, so there are subtle phonemes that distinguish immanent, eminent and imminent. Most think a sieve is a utensil but in reality it is any device used for separating wanted and unwanted material. Contrasting words in this edition include pecunious, which means having money and impecunious which means having no money. An astronaut is one trained to travel and perform tasks in space is contrasted with intranaut who is an individual who explores their own mind in search of meaning. Pertinacity, which means to be resolute in purpose is contrasted with impertinent which means to be brash. Some root word derivations are included like illicit, which means illegal and licit which means legal. Finally, some words describe different relations. In marriage most know monogamy means being married to only one person at a time and perhaps polygamy which means having more than one spouse at the same time. But there is also polyandry or having more than one husband at the same time, exogamy which is the custom of marrying outside one's social group and endogamy which is the custom of marrying a member of one's social group. This is a good book for avid readers who want to improve their vocabulary.

Philosophy and Happiness: How Philosophy Can Bring Felicity

Philosophy and Happiness: How Philosophy Can Bring Felicity

Many philosophers believe people were made to be happy. Epictetus wrote that people should be happy because God made them that way--their lives should be free from hindrance and restraint. John Locke believed that happiness is the unavoidable concomitant of consciousness. However, philosophers also believed that happiness requires knowledge and effort. Coleridge wrote that people are what they know, which for the philosopher is people's source of happiness. It is the knowledge humans have that forms the attitudes they hold that are the foundations of happiness. For the philosophers, happiness also requires effort--people were made for it but not with it. Cicero in his Tusculan Disputations wrote that the happy life rests upon humans alone--people are responsible for their own happiness, Shakespeare wrote that there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so, Boethius wrote nothing is miserable unless people think it so and Seneca wrote the world is as one make it. Happiness then is an art that must be learned and practiced to be achieved. Philosophy and Happiness presents the knowledge the philosophers say brings happiness.Some book themes include fate and happiness (no man is happy until he is dead, until then only lucky), effort and happiness (the world is as one makes it, so fashion good judgments and make it a place that brings joy), purpose and happiness (be a ship with a rudder), appreciation and happiness (everyone can choose whether to view the glass half empty or half full--appreciate any volume) and fortune and happiness (have proper judgments of externals and do not invest in the wheel of fortune).

My life was a nightmare. I felt like a prisoner trapped in my cube at work by an invisible web of obligations driven by an insatiable competitive environment. I was a rat-in-a-amaze-cog-in-a machine animal-robot without freedom. My job defined my life and I was not happy. I was burdened with obligations, hounded to produce and fired if I failed. I was angry, tired, resentful, fearful and burned-out. My troubled psyche was only mollified with fantasies-I was always wondering why there could not be a better life like living a simple life in Tahiti happy and carefree. This book is about my escape from that hell. It is a true story about leaving my possessions, job and life behind and finding happiness in Greece during the summer of 1992. It is written for all American workers who feel the same way I did. We live in a capitalistic culture that overemphasizes money, productivity and success-a toxic formula for worker unhappiness. I believe my journey to happiness-this story-can happen to anyone who wants to be happy.

Apparently many people find me amusing. It is not my intention to be amusing, but in dealing with the opposite sex, dignity, pride, boredom, and humility, I have found that I am not perfect. This book includes short vignettes that others might identify with and thus help them look at their life.
