The Automatic Millionaire : A Powerful One-Step Plan to Live and Finish Rich

Hardcover . Broadway
Dec 30, 2004
  • 3.0 of 5 stars
(1)

Book Description

Despite its sensational title, David Bach's The Automatic Millionaire: A Powerful One-Step Plan to Live and Finish Rich is not a get-rich-quick guide. Rather, the book is a straightforward march through common-sense personal financial planning that suggests readers "automate" their contributions to retirement and investment vehicles. Bach, in fact, calls his model the "tortoise approach" to becoming wealthy by retirement age. In the early part of the book Bach builds on ideas he established in Smart Women Finish Rich and other bestselling titles. His core principle is that, to succeed, yo...

Funky Business: Talent Makes Capital Dance

Paperback . Financial Times Management
  • 3.5 of 5 stars
(2)

Book Description

Oh dear. A book called Funky Business by two Swedish academics. At first glance, it has all the allure of Benny and Bjorn's (from Abba) sadly never-released concept album about life as a middle manger in a multinational conglomerate. There is something earnestly hip about the way Kjell Nordström and Jonas Ridderstråle of the Stockholm School of Economics present themselves. "They do gigs not seminars. These gigs sell out. They have shaved heads and wear black," says the blurb. But that's what makes Funky Business worth reading. It's not so much the novelty of the authors' argument, which bo...

Smart firms can harness collective capability and genius to spur innovation, growth, and success. A brilliant guide to one of the most...
