by Mark Victor Hansen & Robert G. Allen. Hansen is the co-creator
of the hugely popular Chicken Soup for the Soul series; Allen
is a mega-best-selling personal finance author of titles such
as Nothing Down (1990). They have combined forces to produce this
step-by-step guide for becoming a millionaire in a short period
of time. In an unusual format, the right-hand pages depict the
fictional story of Michelle, a lowly waitress and mother of two
who breaks out to pursue her dream of creating her own business
and owning income-producing real estate. |

Rich
Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money--That
the Poor and Middle Class Do Not! by Robert T. Kiyosaki,
Sharon L. Lechter. Personal-finance author and lecturer Robert
Kiyosaki developed his unique economic perspective through exposure
to a pair of disparate influences: his own highly educated but
fiscally unstable father, and the multimillionaire eighth-grade
dropout father of his closest friend. The lifelong monetary problems
experienced by his "poor dad" ( weekly paychecks that
didn't meet family needs) pounded home the message by his "rich
dad" (that "the poor and the middle class work for money,"
but "the rich have money work for them"). Taking that
message to heart, Kiyosaki was able to retire at 47. |

Multiple
Streams of Income: How to Generate a Lifetime of Unlimited Wealth
by Robert G. Allen The author of the rags-to-riches real estate
bestseller Nothing Down for the '90s presents advice drawn from
20 years of writing and promoting get-rich books through seminars,
infomercials, and home-study courses. In Multiple Streams of Income,
Robert G. Allen shows you how to create income with little or
no investment. Says Allen: "Today, very few families can
survive on less than two streams of income. In the volatile future,
you will need a portfolio of income streams--not one or two--but
many streams from completely different and diversified sources." |

Man's
Search For Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl Among the most
influential works of psychiatric literature since Freud. The
book begins with a deeply moving personal essay about Frankl's
imprisonment in concentration camps for five years, and his
struggle during this time to find reasons to live. The second
part of the book describes the psychotherapeutic method that
Frankl pioneered as a result of his experiences. Freud believed
that sexual instincts and urges were the driving force of humanity's
life; Frankl, by contrast, believes that man's deepest desire
is to search for meaning and purpose. This is a fascinating,
sophisticated, and very human book.
