Review:As a retired management professor, I would definitely call this reasonably-short book a thorough discussion of the issues faced by recently-promoted managers. As a reader, I would have liked to see some visual aids (i.e., charts, check-lists, etc.); and a few cartoons related to specific management situations would have improved the readability as well.

It was a very interesting read and shows that with hard work and persev... Read more

Review:This book is your guide to financial independence, bar none. It's wonderfully written, approachable and demystifies many of the "complexities" of financial machinery. I feel, this book should be mandatory reading for all high school and college kids- imagine if tomorrow's economy drivers were armed with the knowledge and practice of fiscal responsibility! It'd be an incredible thing.

Thanks for sharing your expertise, Jim, I truly am the richer for it. Read more
