Book excerpt: Praise for Ron's Road to Wealth "Long-term investors will learn much from Ron Muhlenkamp's thoughtful reflections on what he has learned about investing over a thirty-year period of successful practice." --Milton Friedman "Ron Muhlenkamp has thought long and hard and successfully about investments for many years. He has learned not to be misled by the distortions that inflation brings to normal returns. He has also learned the important understanding that volatility is not the risk that should concern long-term investors. His book will help readers to do better." --Allan H. Meltzer, Professor of Political Economy and Public Policy, Carnegie Mellon University "Ron Muhlenkamp has one of the most original, insightful minds in the financial world today. His record is superb. You will find his book a richly rewarding read." --Steve Forbes, President and Chief Executive Officer of Forbes and Editor in Chief of Forbes magazine "Conventional wisdom says that mutual fund managers can't beat the market; Ron Muhlenkamp's record proves that he can. Ron's Road to Wealth offers a bounty of snapshots of the insightful thinking that has allowed Muhlenkamp to better his peers with remarkable consistency. While many on Wall Street make their living adding to the confusion of the investment process, Muhlenkamp cuts through the clutter to reveal the commonsense logic underneath the surface. If you're tired of conventional investment results, you'll relish this book's unconventional wisdom." --Don Phillips, Managing Director of Morningstar, Inc. "Ron Muhlenkamp is virtually the only commentator in today's investment world who makes a compelling and commonsense case for active investment management. His principles have exactly what you look for in the investment world: they modestly underpromise and have an interesting history of overdelivering." --Bob Veres, Publisher and Editor of Inside Information

Book excerpt: This book has been written for anyone who has ever worried about their financial future and became determined to make certain it met both their needs and desires. We live in a world of dramatic market fluctuations, bad information and bubbles which seem to burst without warning. Many people have worked their entire lives only to find they no longer have the resources needed to retire. Thinking that they are running out of time, they rush to "get rich quick" and follow bad advice packaged in attractive claims of fast and easy money. The result is usually losing money, hope and most importantly... time. This book is different because it focuses on how to get rich "right." The right way is the way that works, every time and can be sustained through any market. My name is Ron Phillips and I have spent my career building wealth for my clients and myself using proven real estate investing strategies that anyone can follow to achieve financial success. Real estate and land are my investment vehicles of choice because they are predictable and low risk, when you know how to properly structure your investments (and we do). This book is perfect for beginners who have never invested in real estate before, but are looking for the basic knowledge of what to do and how to do it. But advanced investors who do have experience with real estate will also learn how my team and I coordinate land purchases with houses to accelerate our wealth and protect ourselves in nearly any market. This book will not teach you how to spend 40 hours a week working as a real estate investor and hitting the streets to compete with other frustrated investors. Instead, we show you a proven method to begin investing, no matter what financial situation you're currently in.

But it is in the darkness of sorrow that he will finally find his true inner strength—the stuff it takes to emerge enlightened into a life of lasting significance. Creatively illustrating today’s most important lesson—that money can’t buy happiness—this profound tale is your field guide for redefining success and creating true wealth in your life and in the lives of the people you love.

Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller “We all want to raise children with good values—children who are the opposite of spoiled—yet we often neglect to talk to our children about money. . . . From handling the tooth fairy, to tips on allowance, chores, charity, checking accounts, and part-time jobs, this engaging and important book is a must-read for parents.” — Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project In the spirit of Wendy Mogel’s The Blessing of a Skinned Knee and Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman’s Nurture Shock, New York Times “Your Money” columnist Ron Lieber delivers a taboo-shattering manifesto that explains how talking openly to children about money can help parents raise modest, patient, grounded young adults who are financially wise beyond their years For Ron Lieber, a personal finance columnist and father, good parenting means talking about money with our kids. Children are hyper-aware of money, and they have scores of questions about its nuances. But when parents shy away from the topic, they lose a tremendous opportunity—not just to model the basic financial behaviors that are increasingly important for young adults but also to imprint lessons about what the family truly values. Written in a warm, accessible voice, grounded in real-world experience and stories from families with a range of incomes, The Opposite of Spoiled is both a practical guidebook and a values-based philosophy. The foundation of the book is a detailed blueprint for the best ways to handle the basics: the tooth fairy, allowance, chores, charity, saving, birthdays, holidays, cell phones, checking accounts, clothing, cars, part-time jobs, and college tuition. It identifies a set of traits and virtues that embody the opposite of spoiled, and shares how to embrace the topic of money to help parents raise kids who are more generous and less materialistic. But The Opposite of Spoiled is also a promise to our kids that we will make them better with money than we are. It is for all of the parents who know that honest conversations about money with their curious children can help them become more patient and prudent, but who don’t know how and when to start.

Book excerpt: Talk & Grow Rich has been helping to create millionaires since 1981.“I can categorically state that Ron Holland's book Talk & Grow Rich and his personal mentoring helped me tremendously. Ron held my hand until I got the first million in the bank and I am now a multi-millionaire with international homes around the world.” - Andy Hunt, Clearsky Properties. Talk & Grow Rich will blow you away! This book was first published in 1981 and having passed the test of time, is now one of the greatest self-help classics of all time, selling all over the world in many different languages and formats. It was the first book to introduce Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), and the incredible works of Carlos Castaneda and meditation into the business and sales arena. Countless people claim they prefer Ron's book more than Napoleons Hill's incredible Think and Grow Rich, because it shows in great detail, in layman's terms, exactly what you have to do in order to make money and become wealthy. Think and Grow Rich and the Science of Getting Rich were written way back in the day, before they even discovered the brain had two separate hemispheres, that work in totally different ways in the way they process information. Talk & Grow Rich will show you how to cultivate peace of mind as well as how to sell anything to anyone. Its powerful techniques will teach you how to get people to lend you money, buy from you and also how to get into the other man's mind. It will show you how to develop a rapport with your prospect, at levels that have never been revealed before. It will show you how to generate wealth without capital, and why thinking may be the worst possible thing you can do. It will teach you how you can succeed even if you are shy, feel cumbersome about talking to people and feel like an absolute failure. You will discover how to tell what other people are thinking just by the position of their eyes and well as hundreds of ways of dealing with all the niggling and small things that stand between you and wealth. You will learn how to generate so many fool proof success ideas (Ron calls these Eurekas!) that you will need to carry pen and paper around to capture them. Once you have your million dollar idea, Ron will show you in great detail how to turn that idea in money. Talk & Grow Rich is so powerful you will want to read it over and over again until it becomes a very part of you. You will discover why the subconscious mind is literally the foundation of everything we do and why it doesn't matter if the prospect says, 'NO'. Ron G Holland has been written up as; 'Jedi Master of Wealth Creation', 'Leading Motivational Speaker', 'The Juggernaut', 'The Equalizer', 'Top Biz Guru', and the 'Entrepreneur's Entrepreneur'. Ron is one of the world's leading exponents on the subject of thinking and non-thinking and has given numerous business seminars and presentations and has been interviewed on TV, radio and press across four continents. Ron is a hired brain and a professional problem solver and has an enviable track record in helping create millionaires. There are many testimonials in the book from people he has helped achieve that status. In this revealing book, Ron introduces his incredible formula for solving problems and creating million dollar success ideas which he calls Silence, Stillness and Solitude ($.$.$.) and also talks about why in the East they say, 'By going out of our minds once a day – we come to our senses.' All his contact details are in the book and he will be pleased to hear from you. Ron works as a business mentor in all business sectors globally and he is actively seeking out those who want to become millionaires.

Book excerpt: In the post-meltdown world, it is irresponsible, ineffective, and ultimately useless to have a serious economic debate without considering and challenging the role of the Federal Reserve. Most people think of the Fed as an indispensable institution without which the country's economy could not properly function. But in End the Fed, Ron Paul draws on American history, economics, and fascinating stories from his own long political life to argue that the Fed is both corrupt and unconstitutional. It is inflating currency today at nearly a Weimar or Zimbabwe level, a practice that threatens to put us into an inflationary depression where $100 bills are worthless. What most people don't realize is that the Fed -- created by the Morgans and Rockefellers at a private club off the coast of Georgia -- is actually working against their own personal interests. Congressman Paul's urgent appeal to all citizens and officials tells us where we went wrong and what we need to do fix America's economic policy for future generations.

Book excerpt: The next revolution in business will provide for a sustainable future, from founder, CEO and circular economy expert Ron Gonen Our take-make-waste economy has cost consumers and taxpayers billions while cheating us out of a habitable planet. But it doesn’t have to be this way. The Waste-Free World makes a persuasive, forward-looking case for a circular economic model, a “closed-loop” system that wastes no natural resources. Entrepreneur, CEO and sustainability expert Ron Gonen argues that circularity is not only crucial for the planet but holds immense business opportunity. As the founder of an investment firm focused on the circular economy, Gonen reveals brilliant innovations emerging worldwide— “smart” packaging, robotics that optimize recycling, nutrient rich fabrics, technologies that convert food waste into energy for your home, and many more. Drawing on his experience in technology, business, and city government and interviews with leading entrepreneurs and top companies, he introduces a vital and growing movement. The Waste-Free World invites us all to take part in a sustainable and prosperous future where companies foster innovation, investors recognize long term value creation, and consumers can align their values with the products they buy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named one of the best books of 2021 by NPR New York Times Bestseller and a New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice pick “Masterly . . .represents an extraordinary achievement: It is comprehensive and detailed without being tedious, practical without being banal, impeccably well judged and unusually rigorous.”—Daniel Markovits, New York Times Book Review “Ron Lieber is a gift.”—Scott Galloway The hugely popular New York Times Your Money columnist and author of the bestselling The Opposite of Spoiled offers a deeply reported and emotionally honest approach to the biggest financial decision families will ever make: what to pay for college—a decision made even more confusing because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Sending a teenager to a flagship state university for four years of on-campus living costs more than $100,000 in many parts of the United States. Meanwhile, many families of freshmen attending selective private colleges will spend triple—over $300,000. With the same passion, smarts, and humor that infuse his personal finance column, Ron Lieber offers a much-needed roadmap to help families navigate this difficult and often confusing journey. Lieber begins by explaining who pays what and why and how the financial aid system got so complicated. He also pulls the curtain back on merit aid, an entirely new form of discounting that most colleges now use to compete with peers. While price is essential, value is paramount. So what is worth paying extra for, and how do you know when it exists in abundance at any particular school? Is a small college better than a big one? Who actually does the teaching? Given that every college claims to have reinvented its career center, who should we actually believe? He asks the tough questions of college presidents and financial aid gatekeepers that parents don’t know (or are afraid) to ask and summarizes the research about what matters and what doesn’t. Finally, Lieber calmly walks families through the process of setting financial goals, explaining the system to their children and figuring out the right ways to save, borrow, and bargain for a better deal. The Price You Pay for College gives parents the clarity they need to make informed choices and helps restore the joy and wonder the college experience is supposed to represent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, "Gold" Independent Publishing Award (IPPY) for LGBTQ+ Nonfiction Winner, The Randy Shilts Award for Gay Nonfiction, 34th Annual Triangle Awards 2023 Lammy Finalist, Gay Memoir/Biography A coming-of-age memoir of life on the front lines of the AIDS crisis with ACT UP New York. From the moment Ron Goldberg stumbled into his first ACT UP meeting in June 1987, the AIDS activist organization became his life. For the next eight years, he chaired committees, planned protests, led teach-ins, and facilitated their Monday night meetings. He cruised and celebrated at ACT UP parties, attended far too many AIDS memorials, and participated in more than a hundred zaps and demonstrations, becoming the group’s unofficial “Chant Queen,” writing and leading chants for many of their major actions. Boy with the Bullhorn is both a memoir and an immersive history of the original New York chapter of ACT UP, the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power, from 1987 to 1995, told with great humor, heart, and insight. Using the author’s own story, “the activist education of a well-intentioned, if somewhat naïve nice gay Jewish theater queen,” Boy with the Bullhorn intertwines Goldberg’s experiences with the larger chronological history of ACT UP, the grassroots AIDS activist organization that confronted politicians, scientists, drug companies, religious leaders, the media, and an often uncaring public to successfully change the course of the AIDS epidemic. Diligently sourced and researched, Boy with the Bullhorn provides both an intimate look into how activist strategies are developed and deployed and a snapshot of life in New York City during the darkest days of the AIDS epidemic. On the occasions where Goldberg writes outside his personal experience, he relies on his extensive archive of original ACT UP documents, news articles, and other published material, as well as activist videos and oral histories, to help flesh out actions, events, and the background stories of key activists. Writing with great candor, Goldberg examines the group’s triumphs and failures, as well as the pressures and bad behaviors that eventually tore ACT UP apart. A story of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, from engaging in outrageous, media-savvy demonstrations, to navigating the intricacies of drug research and the byzantine bureaucracies of the FDA, NIH, and CDC, Boy with the Bullhorn captures the passion, smarts, and evanescent spirit of ACT UP—the anger, grief, and desperation, but also the joy, camaraderie, and sexy, campy playfulness—and the exhilarating adrenaline rush of activism.
