By Karen Blumenthal. 2015
Autodidacta, visionario, genio, intuitivo, iconoclassta, diferente, inventor. Steve Jobs, el hombre que pensaba diferente. Un libro inspirador para los JÓVENES…
que no están dispuestos a renunciar a sus sueños. Más que aparatos electrónicos, lo que Jobs dejó a los jóvenes fueron importantes lecciones de vida: un modelo de coraje, de iniciativa y de creatividad. Ésta es su historia, escrita de la manera que a ti te gustaría que te la contaran. La trayectoria de este genio, icono del siglo XXI, fue impredecible desde el inicio. Al nacer, fue dado en adopción, abandonó la carrera tras el primer semestre en la universidad... Sin embargo, con tan solo veinte años, creó Apple en el garaje de su casa junto con su amigo Steve Wozniack. Y así surgió su marca personal: una rigurosa búsqueda de perfección, un modo alternativo de acercarse a los problemas y un estilo que le llevó más allá de todo límite. Steve Jobs no solo te interesará por sus ordenadores, iPads e iPods, sino por cómo era y cómo vivió su vida: un visionario con un complicado carácter que resultó ser todo un ejemplo de lo que se puede conseguir si uno persigue sus sueños y permanece fiel a sí mismo. «No dejéis que el ruido de las opiniones de los demás ahogue vuestra propia voz interior. Tened el coraje de seguir vuestro corazón y vuestra intuición. De algún modo, ellos ya saben lo que realmente quieres ser. Vuestro tiempo es finito, no lo malgastéis viviendo la vida de otro»Steve Jobs Reseñas: [...] La biografía de Blumenthal, una mirada en profundidad a la vida de este visionario, se convierte en la favorita de cara al público más joven. Blumenthal, antigua periodista de economía, utiliza un discurso que dio Steve Jobs ante una promoción de estudiantes de Stanford como la puerta de entrada hacia la que atrae al lector. Steve Jobs contó al público una serie de historias sobre los incidentes más importantes de su vida. [...] Su última historia trataba del cáncer, y su mensaje fue: «seguid los dictados de vuestro corazón y vuestra intuición». Por medio de una serie de entrevistas originales, un uso inteligente de las fuentes y un estilo maravillosamente fluido, Blumenthal ofrece un completo retrato de Jobs con sus bien documentados defectos, su estética tan original y clarividente, y su disposición a presionarse a sí mismo y a los demás con el objetivo de lograr lo mejor según su percepción. [...] La exposición que se hace sobre la relación entre Apple y la compañía discográfica de los Beatles, Apple Corps., resulta entretenida e instructiva. Un libro inteligente de una autora inteligente sobre un individuo inteligente. Ilustrado con fotografías. Adjunta un glosario y sus fuentes.

A proven leader in the financial world explains the current bull market--and how to profit from it--by comparing it to…
the great bull markets of the past.Were you surprised by Wall Street's incredible performance over the past few years? Ralph Acampora wasn't. In fact, Acampora, Prudential's top technical analyst, predicted the current bullish trend--and helped countless clients profit from it. Now you can too.Acampora coined the term mega-market to describe a bull market that lasts a minimum of ten years and a maximum of eighteen years with Dow gains of between 400% and 500%. In The Fourth Mega-Market, Acampora helps readers take advantage of the staggering performance of the current market by showing its similarities with the three previous mega-markets in American history. In an entertaining and straight-forward style, and with a wealth of informative charts and graphs, he helps readers recognize patterns that can explain market performance, showing how to use technical analysis to "hear the voices" of the market. He offers valuable tips, such as how to spot and protect yourself from a correction; how psychology and politics influence the market; and how to analyze the performance of various market segments. Finally, he makes exciting predictions on just where the market will go before it ends and how it will get there, giving specific recommendations. While today's information overload keeps us on the edge of our seats, scanning the numbers for subtle clues as to the market's next seismic shift, Ralph Acampora shows us the value of a larger perspective, one that not only explains today's mega-market, but also shows us how to keep investing our money wisely and ride high on the current wave.In Money Matters for Teens, young writers discuss their financial fears and the strategies they've learned to help them spend…

By Wallace D Wattles. 2008
The step-by-step scientific approach to attracting financial and spiritual wealth• This is the 100-year-old book that inspired Rhonda Byrne's bestselling…
The Secret• Explains the precise series of practical steps that, if followed, guarantee prosperity• Reveals the secrets that underlie today’s success and prosperity movementsIn his bestselling book, Wallace D. Wattles explains that “universal mind” underlies and permeates all creation. Through the process of visualization we can engage the law of attraction--impressing our thoughts upon “formless substance” and bringing the desired object or circumstances into material form. The author emphasizes the critical importance of attitude: only by aligning ourselves with the positive forces of natural law can we gain unlimited access to the creative mind and its abundant rewards.The Science of Getting Rich holds the secret to how economic and emotional security can be achieved in a practical, imaginative, and noncompetitive way, while maintaining a loving and harmonious relationship with all of life. By living in accordance with the positive principles outlined in this book, we can find our rightful place in the cosmic scheme and create for ourselves an environment in which to grow in wealth, wisdom, and happiness.Rhonda Byrne, in her book and DVD, The Secret, tells how a 100-year-old book entered her life and changed it forever. Here is that book. Written in 1910, The Science of Getting Rich inspired Byrne to create her bestselling DVD, and subsequently, to write her book. She has said that it “gave me a glimpse of The Secret. It was like a flame inside of my heart. And with every day since, it's just become a raging fire of wanting to share all of this with the world.”“There is a science of getting rich. It is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic. There are certain laws which govern the process of acquiring riches. Once a person learns and obeys these laws, he will get rich with mathematical certainty.” --Wallace D. Wattles, The Science of Getting RichPay It Down!: Debt-Free on $10 a Day
By Jean Chatzky. 2009
Jean Chatzky has been working with viewers of NBC’s Today show for a series on how to get out of…
debt once and for all. Her method, both on TV and in this book, is simple yet powerful: the key is saving just $10 a day that you currently waste. It doesn’t sound like much—a movie ticket or lunch for two at McDonald’s— but $10 really can take you from debt to wealth in just a few years. And because it doesn’t feel like an impossible goal, people are more likely to stick with Chatzky’s plan than an extreme regimen of spending cutbacks. Chatzky is focusing on debt because it’s the single biggest threat to our financial health. The average American family has sixteen credit cards and high-rate debt of more than $8000, not even counting car loans and mortgages. They pay more than $1000 a year in interest alone. Debt makes people feel depressed and overwhelmed, leaving them without enough money for the truly important things in life—education, retirement, owning a home, feeling secure. Chatzky, one of America’s most popular personal finance experts, writes in down- to- earth, woman-next-door language about how to get started right away, without giving up the things that truly give you pleasure. She offers practical, accessible strategies to help readers find the money to pay off their bills, lower their interest rates, and improve their credit scores. Featuring real-life examples of people featured on her Today show series, Pay It Down can transform debtors into future millionaires. .Earning Money: Jobs

El autor y conferencista Robert Kiyosaki desarrolló una perspectiva económica única a partir de la exposición que tuvo a dos influencias: su propio padre, altamente educado pero muy inestable y el padre multimillonario, sin educación universitaria, de su mejor amigo.Los problemas monetarios que su Padre pobre experimentó toda la vida (concheques mensuales muy respetables pero nunca suficientes) rompían con lo que le comunicaba su Padre rico: que la clase pobre y la clase media trabajan por dinero pero la clase alta, hace que el dinero trabaje para ellos. Kiyosaki presenta la filosofía detrás de esta relación excepcional con el dinero. Este libro aboga de manera convincente por el tipo de conocimiento financiero que nunca se enseña en las escuelas.Padre rico padre pobre lo ayudará a:-Derribar el mito de que usted necesita tener un ingreso elevado para hacerse rico.-Desafiar la creencia de que su casa es una inversión.-Mostrar a los padres por qué no confiar en el sistema escolar para la enseñanza de sus hijos acerca del dinero.-Definir de una vez y para siempre qué es una inversión y qué es una obligación.-Mostrar qué enseñar a los hijos acerca del dinero para su futuro éxito financiero.Lo que ha dicho la crítica:"Padrerico padre pobre es el punto de partida para quien quiera tomar el control de su futuro financiero." -USA TodayStart It Up: The Complete Teen Business Guide to Turning Your Passions Into Pay
