Download or read book You re Kidding Right written by Brad Goldfarb and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-11-02 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Retired early 2020, Brad Goldfarb was a successful financial advisor for thirty-five years. During his career, he received many requests and questions from his clients. This book is based on thirty of those actual questions where the only possible response is "You're kidding, right?" From his studies throughout his career, Brad recognized there was a common thread behind these thoughts and questions; they seemed to come from client's emotions and not necessarily rational thinking. Recognizing that these thoughts are common, Brad knew he could help investors from making mistakes that prevent them from consistently making money long term. Behavioral Economics is the Nobel prizewinning theory behind what leads investors to make emotional and irrational investment decisions. During his career, Brad has appeared on both radio and TV numerous times and lectured many audiences and financial advisors on some of the advanced analytical techniques he learned about Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT), risk measurement, and asset allocation when he earned the Certified Investment Management Analyst (CIMA) designation taught in conjunction with the prestigious Wharton Business School in Pennsylvania. He knew he could simplify this knowledge, so every investor could easily understand and apply it to their own strategy. This book was not written to offer specific advice to investors. It was not written with the idea of do-it-yourself. It was written to educate and enlighten investors to allow them to work more collaboratively with their financial advisor. Brad hopes you will use this book to gain a better understanding of asset allocation and risk so you can avoid the mistakes so many make during downturns and turmoil in the financial markets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK • A timely and important book that challenges everything we think we know about cultivating true belonging in our communities, organizations, and culture, from the #1 bestselling author of Rising Strong, Daring Greatly, and The Gifts of Imperfection Don’t miss the five-part Max docuseries Brené Brown: Atlas of the Heart! “True belonging doesn’t require us to change who we are. It requires us to be who we are.” Social scientist Brené Brown, PhD, MSW, has sparked a global conversation about the experiences that bring meaning to our lives—experiences of courage, vulnerability, love, belonging, shame, and empathy. In Braving the Wilderness, Brown redefines what it means to truly belong in an age of increased polarization. With her trademark mix of research, storytelling, and honesty, Brown will again change the cultural conversation while mapping a clear path to true belonging. Brown argues that we’re experiencing a spiritual crisis of disconnection, and introduces four practices of true belonging that challenge everything we believe about ourselves and each other. She writes, “True belonging requires us to believe in and belong to ourselves so fully that we can find sacredness both in being a part of something and in standing alone when necessary. But in a culture that’s rife with perfectionism and pleasing, and with the erosion of civility, it’s easy to stay quiet, hide in our ideological bunkers, or fit in rather than show up as our true selves and brave the wilderness of uncertainty and criticism. But true belonging is not something we negotiate or accomplish with others; it’s a daily practice that demands integrity and authenticity. It’s a personal commitment that we carry in our hearts.” Brown offers us the clarity and courage we need to find our way back to ourselves and to each other. And that path cuts right through the wilderness. Brown writes, “The wilderness is an untamed, unpredictable place of solitude and searching. It is a place as dangerous as it is breathtaking, a place as sought after as it is feared. But it turns out to be the place of true belonging, and it’s the bravest and most sacred place you will ever stand.”

Book excerpt: A unique forensic psychiatrist must decipher clues left behind by assassins attacking D.C. in this psychological thriller from the author of Color Blind. A band of ruthless assassins converges on a bank in Washington, D.C. They slaughter everyone inside and escape without stealing a dime, leaving only a message for police warning that another attack is coming. The attackers are more than willing to communicate who they are and what they want. The problem is, they only do so through cryptic messages hidden in a labyrinth of classic literature references. With the clock ticking down the hours and minutes until another bloodbath, Dr. Jenna Ramey and the rest of the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit have a challenge profiling not one or two, but a dozen individual killers. But even if she can save the day, two enemies from Ramey’s past are lurking in her blind spot, ready to take advantage of her current preoccupation… “Just the gift for connoisseurs of multiple murders who also want to plume themselves on their knowledge of literary classics.”—Kirkus Reviews “Absorbing…Adding spice is Jenna’s special gift, grapheme-color synesthesia, which allows her to use colors she associates with people and situations to help her determine the truth.”—Publishers Weekly
Download or read book Trust Exercise written by Susan Choi and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE 2019 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR FICTION “Electrifying” (People) • “Masterly” (The Guardian) • “Dramatic and memorable” (The New Yorker) • “Magic” (TIME) • “Ingenious” (The Financial Times) • "A gonzo literary performance” (Entertainment Weekly) • “Rare and splendid” (The Boston Globe) • “Remarkable” (USA Today) • “Delicious” (The New York Times) • “Book groups, meet your next selection" (NPR) In an American suburb in the early 1980s, students at a highly competitive performing arts high school struggle and thrive in a rarified bubble, ambitiously pursuing music, movement, Shakespeare, and, particularly, their acting classes. When within this striving “Brotherhood of the Arts,” two freshmen, David and Sarah, fall headlong into love, their passion does not go unnoticed—or untoyed with—by anyone, especially not by their charismatic acting teacher, Mr. Kingsley. The outside world of family life and economic status, of academic pressure and of their future adult lives, fails to penetrate this school’s walls—until it does, in a shocking spiral of events that catapults the action forward in time and flips the premise upside-down. What the reader believes to have happened to David and Sarah and their friends is not entirely true—though it’s not false, either. It takes until the book’s stunning coda for the final piece of the puzzle to fall into place—revealing truths that will resonate long after the final sentence. As captivating and tender as it is surprising, Susan Choi's Trust Exercise will incite heated conversations about fiction and truth, and about friendships and loyalties, and will leave readers with wiser understandings of the true capacities of adolescents and of the powers and responsibilities of adults.
