Robert Kiyosaki is best known as the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad – the #1 personal finance book of all time – which has challenged and changed the way tens of millions of people around the world think about money. Rich Dad titles hold four of the top ten spots on Nielsen Bookscan List’s Life-to-Date Sales from 2001-2008 alone. Robert has been featured on shows such as Larry King Live, Oprah, The Doctors, Bloomberg International Television and CNN. With perspectives on money and investing that often contradict conventional wisdom, Robert has earned a reputation for straight talk, irreverence and courage. His point of view that ‘old’ advice - get a good job, save money, get out of debt, invest for the long term, and diversify - is ‘bad’ (both obsolete and flawed) advice, challenges the status quo. His assertion that “your house is not an asset” has stirred controversy but has been proven to be accurate in our economy’s current financial crisis. A documentary film based on the contradictions of ‘old financial advice’ is planned for release in 2010. In 2006 Robert teamed up with Donald Trump to co-author Why We Want You To Be Rich - Two Men - One Message. It debuted at #1 on The New York Times bestsellers list.

Author bio:
I was born in 1986, in Donetsk, Ukraine. In 2001 graduated from Donetsk Polytechnic College as a building technician. The same year became a third-year student of Donbass National Academy of Construction and Architecture which I graduated from as civil engineer. Within seven years changed five different jobs; worked as general laborer with working party in the Academy, real estate agent, road construction expert, geodesist in Donetsk General Plan Bureau and Structures Inspection Engineer in a design institute. Simultaneously mastered trading basics attending numerous seminars and having taken distant "Forex Club" course in Moscow International Academy of Foreign Exchange Trading. I am currently a trader with four-year trading experience. Apart from higher education in construction engineering I got extended education in financial market analysis and assets management. My job implies mainly investor fund trust management. This is the way I earn my living. I also wrote a book called Foreign Exchange Trading: The golden Rules basing on my personal hands-on experience. It contains valuable recommendations which can help beginning traders improve their trading results. ======================= На русском / In russian ======================= Родился в г.Донецк Украина в 1986 году.

Параллельно всем этим официальным работам, самостоятельно осваивал профессию трейдер посещая огромное количество семинаров, закончив дополнительные дистанционные курсы в Международной академии биржевой торговли «Форекс Клуб», г. Москва. В данный момент я работаю трейдером, мой опыт работы на финансовых рынках 4 года.

На основе полученного практического опыта торговли на бирже мной написана книга "Золотые правила победы на бирже". В ней собраны лучшие правила и советы способные помочь начинающим и практикующим трейдерам улучшить свои результаты работы.
"GreenCapitalism!" How it can save our planet. by Keith Mcilroy July 19, 2011 Free! 10191 words Read a sample
Author bio:
My journey to Green-Capitalism "there is no need for there to be a 'loser' between economic growth and environmental protection" I have spent most of my professional life identifying the need for change in organisations then helping those organisations to make those changes. From turning around insolvent companies and integrating corporate acquisitions through to culture change programs on factory floors and in sales teams. Like most people deeply involved in business, my focus was on this quarter's profit, this month's sales, this week's cash flow. I paid scant regard to what was happening in the rest of the world, especially anything vaguely environmental. This started to change when my family flew into Manchester airport in 2000 to join me in the UK. It was raining. Hardly surprising for Manchester. Over the next few months it continued to rain and there was more and more discussion on climate change. At the time I dismissed this, along with 'peak oil' and 'global warming', as fear mongering from people who should get a 'proper job'. Then in April 2001, it was announced that the previous 12 months had been the wettest in the UK since records began. And records began in the 17th Century. That caused me to wonder a wee bit. But only for a bit as I soon went back to my insular business world and stayed there, even when we returned to Australia to find ourselves in the middle of the 'hundred year drought'. Then, in 2003 The Business Council of Australia invited me to join their working group that was preparing a range of scenarios for Australia in 20 years time. 'Aspire Australia 2025' was put together over 12 months by running workshops with seventy of the leading thinkers in Australia. We looked at every aspect of life in Australia. Our competitiveness, strategic defence, values and norms, our governance and our sustainability. That experience triggered the start of my journey. A journey that was initially focussed on climate change for the more that I researched the arguments for and against, the more I came to the conclusion that this was a 'clear and present threat' to our quality of life. It also quickly became clear that, until the business community took the risk seriously, then we would always struggle to make the changes needed to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. And here was where the nub of the problem was. Business had great difficulty seeing how we could both, reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and also maintain the economic growth that is so fundamental to their business success. In the same way that business saw the 20th Century as a battle between labour and capital, many now saw the 21st Century as being a battle between economic growth and environmental protection. Yet, there was no real 'loser' in the battle between labour and capital, so there is no need for there to be a 'loser' between economic growth and environmental protection. Hence my promotion of Green-Capitalism. I write, I speak and I present on how we can have our cake and eat it too. For those promoters of environmental protection who are cynical of capitalism, I would ask you to remember that capitalism has dragged millions of people around the world out of the miserable existence so well documented by Charles Dickens and that capitalism, properly motivated, can achieve rapid change in society. For the promoters of economic growth who see environmentalists as a threat to our prosperity, I would ask you recognise we live on a planet of finite resources with a delicate ecosystem. The sooner we modify our business practices to use renewable resources without unnecessarily damaging our ecosystem, the more confident we can be that our prosperity can continue for our kids and grandkids.

What can I say? I love writing. I love being able to publish my thoughts to a global audience. I love seeing someone buy one of my books. My favorite books so far? I really enjoyed writing the Day God Returned. I liked the twist in the ending. I hope you do as well. And it was satisfying writing The Perfect Society, I am glad I now have my thoughts on this subject down for all to read. Its important we aspire to having a better society. Of course, I have to add that my Eurovision Betting Guide 2011 accurately predicted the $11 to $1 winner using my clever little Eurovision system, not bad picking the winner out of 43 entrants. I hope you like my ebooks.

Author bio:
Retired from Fresno County, I have always viewed the movements of the stock market with mistrust. Having seen the same disregard of supply and demand in determining pricing for houses, gasoline and food commodities, I applied that same mistrust to those markets as well. I believe that the United States has acted out of financial weakness and a perceived need to protect certain segments of society, and my books reflect that assumption. I have contributed to Seeking Alpha and Business Insider. I have four grown children and live in Nevada. Because of the state of economy, and what I perceive is the importance of these ebooks, if any of you wish to get the ebooks for free, please email me at bgamall4 at yahoo dot com and I will send you a coupon. Just put "free ebook" in the heading of your email, and specify which ebook you want.

Author bio:
Thomas Herold is a successful entrepreneur and personal development coach. After a career with one of the largest electronic companies in the world, he realized that a regular job would never fully satisfy his need for connection on a deep level. The only way to live his full potential was to start building his own business and find new ways to be in service to others. For over 25 years he has helped many people – including himself – build their dream businesses. Toward that goal, he focuses on education – simplified and enhanced by modern technology. He is the author of three books with over 200,000 copies distributed worldwide. Other than his passion for creating businesses, Thomas has spent over 20 years in the self-development field. Placing emphasis on the exploration of consciousness and building practical applications that allow people to express their purpose and passion in life, Thomas’s work in this area has provided ample and happy proof that this approach works. He believes that every person has at least one gift and that, when this gift is developed and nourished, it will serve as a fountainhead of personal happiness and help contribute to a better, more sustainable world. For the past three years Thomas has studied the monetary system and has experienced some profound insights on how money and wealth are related. He has recently committed to sharing this knowledge in a new venture – the Wealth Building Course, a website along with educational materials that designed to help people get started on their own money makeover and get a financial education in the process. Thomas’s ultimate vision for the Wealth Building Course is to empower people to adopt a wealthy mindset and to create abundance for themselves and others. His ability to explain complex information in simple terms makes him an outstanding teacher and coach.

Robert A. Peterson's formative years were in the depression of the 1930s. During those years he was a paperboy, where all of the functions of a distribution company were employed, worked for a house builder, and as a stevedore for a trucking company. These jobs gave him a perspective for the balance of his life. Formal education resulted in a BS and a BBA from the University of Minnesota. It was later augmented by the Credit and Financial Management course in two-week summer segments at Dartmouth and Stanford over a three-year period. The first thirteen years of his work in business were for International Harvester Company and a division of Sperry Rand, two of the largest US companies at that time. Thereafter, the Toro Company, a company that had yet to achieve $20 million in sales hired him. His first position was as a general credit manager thereafter as treasurer; vice president and treasurer; vice president, treasurer, and international finance. In 1980 he became the chief financial officer, the office he held until his retirement. He retired in 1992. His last full year of employment was fiscal year 1991, a period during which the company achieved sales of $711 million.

After a year I was discharged from the Air Force as unsuitable but while in the Air Force I received training in computer programming which became my career for thirty three years after a short period sorting mail for the Postal Service. When I was finally downsized from my last programming job with one of the telephone companies I decided to start bookkeeping which lead to a job as a staff accountant from which I was recently RIFed.
How I Predicted the Global  Economic Crisis*:  The Most Amazing Book  You’ll Never Read by John R. Talbott How I Predicted the Global Economic Crisis*: The Most Amazing Book You’ll Never Read by John R. Talbott March 20, 2011 $9.99 79545 words Sample 2%
Author bio:
About the Author John R. Talbott is the bestselling author of eight books on economics and politics that have accurately detailed and predicted the causes and devastating effects of this entire financial crisis including, in 2003, The Coming Crash in the Housing Market. In 2004, he correctly identified corporate and banking lobbyists and big corporate money in politics as the major underlying cause of the current crisis with, Where America Went Wrong. In January 2006, he called the absolute peak month of home prices in the US by releasing, Sell Now! The End of the Housing Bubble and warned that the problem was not local, or even national, but international. In 2008, his book, Contagion: The Financial Epidemic That Is Sweeping the Global Economy predicted the sub-prime mortgage problem developing in the US would mutate and grow and infect not only prime mortgages, but other markets such as the stock market, commercial real estate, the municipal bond market, as well as threaten the solvency of banks and governments around the globe leading to a very long, deep and painful global recession. In 2009, The 86 Biggest Lies on Wall Street exposed the ineptness of the government’s response to the crisis and the futility of enacting real reform of Wall Street when Wall Street itself is the biggest lobbyist of our congress. Formerly, an investment banker for Goldman Sachs and a Visiting Scholar at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management, Talbott has written peer reviewed academic research on democracy, inequality, AIDS prevention and developing country economics and has acted as an economic adviser to Jordan and Russia. He has made presentations on economics and politics throughout the United States and in Italy and Australia. He graduated from Cornell’s School of Engineering and received an MBA from UCLA. His work has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, the Boston Globe, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Herald Tribune, the New Republic, the Huffington Post and salon.com. He has appeared as a financial expert on television for CNN, CBS, Fox News, CNBC, FBN, CSPAN and MSNBC as well as on hundreds of radio programs. Talbott, whose family has lived in Kentucky for 230 years is the son of a career Army officer, is 56 years old, single, an avid college football and basketball fan and lives with his faithful companion, Boca Jr., who rarely objects to any of Talbott’s writings or politics except when it is time to go for a walk. The media can contact Talbott at johntalbs@gmail.com as well as anyone who might be interested in discussing possible speaking engagements. As usual, he looks forward to hearing from you, the reader and will try to respond personally to all of your emails, postcards and letters.

Retired from Fresno County, I have always viewed the movements of the stock market with mistrust. Having seen the same disregard of supply and demand in determining pricing for houses, gasoline and food commodities, I applied that same mistrust to those markets as well. I believe that the United States has acted out of financial weakness and a perceived need to protect certain segments of society, and my books reflect that assumption. I have contributed to Seeking Alpha and Business Insider. I have four grown children and live in Nevada. Because of the state of economy, and what I perceive is the importance of these ebooks, if any of you wish to get the ebooks for free, please email me at bgamall4 at yahoo dot com and I will send you a coupon. Just put "free ebook" in the heading of your email, and specify which ebook you want.

Author bio:
Robert Kiyosaki Educational Entrepreneur, creator of the CASHFLOW® board game, founder of the financial education-based Rich Dad Company and author of New York Times Bestsellers Conspiracy of the Rich: The 8 New Rules of Money and Rich Dad Poor Dad. Robert Kiyosaki is best known as the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad – the #1 personal finance book of all time – which has challenged and changed the way tens of millions of people around the world think about money. Rich Dad titles hold four of the top ten spots on Nielsen Bookscan List’s Life-to-Date Sales from 2001-2008 alone. Robert has been featured on shows such as Larry King Live, Oprah, The Doctors, Bloomberg International Television and CNN. With perspectives on money and investing that often contradict conventional wisdom, Robert has earned a reputation for straight talk, irreverence and courage. His point of view that ‘old’ advice - get a good job, save money, get out of debt, invest for the long term, and diversify - is ‘bad’ (both obsolete and flawed) advice, challenges the status quo. His assertion that “your house is not an asset” has stirred controversy but has been proven to be accurate in our economy’s current financial crisis. A documentary film based on the contradictions of ‘old financial advice’ is planned for release in 2010. In 2006 Robert teamed up with Donald Trump to co-author Why We Want You To Be Rich - Two Men - One Message. It debuted at #1 on The New York Times bestsellers list.
