"How you manage your money (however much or little it may be) affects every aspect of your life - your physical and emotional well-being, your relationships, what hobbies you can pursue and where you can live. Don't make the mistake of thinking that you can avoid taking control of your spending by simply getting a job that pays more.

Missoula: Rape and the Justice System in a College Town
From bestselling author Jon Krakauer, a stark, powerful, meticulously reported narrative about a series of sexual assaults at the University of Montana ­— stories that illuminate the human drama behind the national plague of campus rape Missoula, Montana, is a typical college town, with a highly regarded state university, bucolic surroundings, a lively social scene, and an excellent football team — the Grizzlies — with a rabid fan base. The Department of Justice investigated 350 sexual assaults reported to the Missoula police between January 2008 and May 2012. Krakauer’s devastating narrative of what happened in Missoula makes clear why rape is so prevalent on American campuses, and why rape victims are so reluctant to report assault. In Missoula , Krakauer chronicles the searing experiences of several women in Missoula — the nights when they were raped; their fear and self-doubt in the aftermath; the way they were treated by the police, prosecutors, defense attorneys; the public vilification and private anguish; their bravery in pushing forward and what it cost them. Some declined to go to the police, or to press charges, but sought redress from the university, which has its own, non-criminal judicial process when a student is accused of rape. An Amazon Best Book of April 2015: Toward the end of this powerful, absorbing book, best-selling author Jon Krakauer quotes a jury member as she sums up popular assumptions about sexual assault: “(1) A stranger jumps out from the bushes; (2) There is no (assault) unless the woman puts up a fight, to the death if necessary.” The truth is much different—assaults by acquaintances are by far the most common form of the crime. Some of the reported assaults in Krakauer’s book involved members of the University of Montana’s beloved Grizzly football team. "[H]arrowing.... [I]ncisive.... Krakauer's investigation will succeed in altering the conversation around sexual violence .... Missoula will undoubtedly fortify those of us who have already broken our silence and may rally those who have not dared to.”. — Los Angeles Times " Excellent .... Krakauer doesn't just tell the story of these crimes. “ [M]eticulously reported, fascinating and deeply disturbing .... By probing the specific, Krakauer illuminates upsetting generalities..... Krakauer—a journalist who is also a compelling writer—artfully keeps the books from becoming a compendium of facts..... It’s an important, difficult and timely subject.”. — USA Today “ A good and needed thing .... [P]owerful.... Krakauer tells a sad an infuriating story.... Krakauer has done a great service by taking on this subject .”. — Newsweek. “ [A] case study of the widespread problem of campus rape .... For anyone distressed by the high rate of sexual assault afflicting young woman, and who wants to understand some of the ways in which the justice system fails them—and shouldn’t that be all of us?— Krakauer’s book is worth reading .”. — Time. " [A]n impassioned study of campus rape .... Krakauer’s evocative reporting, honed to a fine edge of anger, vividly conveys the ordeal of victims and their ongoing psychological dislocations.

"This book is exactly what I was looking for: easy to follow, well researched and to the point - no fluff, no sugar coating, just the facts (plenty of actual, usable facts). I have read a couple of the author’s other books in the Successful Blog Series and have found them to be, just like this one, the perfect blend of solid information and ease for a beginner like me."
"As a writer, I now have the incentive to start Kindle publishing, which is actually more profitable than blogging and boosts the results of blogging."
"I absolutely loved this book."
"She will give you a comprehensive information about the real steps needed to publish your book. She will tell you and shows you exactly those steps, those websites, those pages, those links, and those clicks .... that you would get from others only by paying hundreds or thousands of dollars on their training programs. Unless you prefer a personal guiding hand AND you have a hundreds or thousands of dollar extra to spend out of your pocket. So much so, that I decided to purchase her other books as well to learn in the deep how to manage step-by-step other related matters, such as SEO, Blog and social media marketing without the necessity of opening my bank account."
"If you've read knowledgable blog posts on Kindle publishing--Dave Chesson at Kindlepreneusr comes to mind--or watched any of the many free videos on this subject, you won't find much here. That might work for non-fiction, especially if--as she urges--you break your topic into small parts so you can create a series (as she's obviously done)."
"I really think someone contemplating Kindle publishing someday should read this book initially."
"Anyone who is scared to publish a book should read this."

The Ivey Guide to Law School Admissions: Straight Advice on Essays, Resumes, Interviews, and More (Updated and Revised)
As Dean of Admissions at the University of Chicago Law School, Anna Ivey decided the fate of thousands of law school applicants. There are certain things they wish they could tell applicants because it would make their own lives so much easier, but they can't say, "In all honesty, we only spend about five minutes on each file, so you'd better cut to the chase," or, "Please, for the love of god, don't make me read another essay about endangered guppies." Because that was my daily life when I was dean of admissions at the University of Chicago Law School. I crack open the next one on top of the pile, a file belonging to a woman named Sarah. As dean of admissions, I could easily write an "A" for accept or a "D" for deny at the top of Sarah's file based on this hard data alone, so the fate of her application depends entirely on the remaining four minutes I spend scanning the "soft stuff" of her application: her essay, her recommendations, her résumé, and her addendum. They go wrong because they have failed to persuade me that I should choose them over thousands of other applicants with acceptable numbers who I know could succeed at my law school. With visions of Law & Order dancing in my head, I wanted to shoot for the top, for that all-purpose degree that would offer me the greatest career flexibility and the best financial safety net. I remember that queasy, sleepless night before my LSAT, when I inspected the alarm clock every ten minutes while the hours slipped away. How paralyzed I felt by the range of topics when I sat down to tap out my life story in a two-page essay "on the subject of my choice" that would help the admissions committee "get to know me better." The anxiety of waiting for a response, wondering what was holding things up as I compared notes with other applicants. Did they want me to prove that I was applying out of pure motives-for the public good!-and that I wasn't some moneygrubbing status hound? I took my first standardized admissions test in sixth grade, in order to attend junior high at Boston Latin School; for high school, I attended Phillips Academy Andover, moved on to Columbia College, and spent my junior year at Cambridge University in the UK. For all I knew, admissions officers just threw darts at a board, and my luck had just been fantastically good. What I didn't know then is that even smart and accomplished people can make stupid (and common) mistakes on their applications. When I was applying, there were no discussion boards where applicants trade admissions war stories and statistics, share intelligence, critique each other's strategies, waste time ("My List of the Ten Sexiest Ugly Women on TV! Law school admissions officers can't and don't speak candidly about affirmative action, for example, or what kinds of essays make them want to shoot themselves in the head from boredom. I wrote this book to offer applicants straightforward, practical tips from an insider's perspective. I've read thousands of files, conducted hundreds of admissions interviews, and traveled across the country to meet with and counsel hundreds of thousands of prospective applicants at law school forums and pre-law society fairs. In The Ivey Guide to Law School Admissions, applicants will find answers to questions like these:
Reviews
"I've read both this book and the Law School Admissions Game (will be reading Montauk's book soon), and while I agree with others that they're not absolutely necessary, they're all very helpful and having multiple perspectives has been great. I feel like I learn a little something different from each one of them, and reading both books, along with perusing law school discussion forums and reading Don't Go to Law School (Unless) have all helped really flesh out my idea of what the law school world looks like. Considering the high cost of law school, the scholarships on the line, and the extreme differences in employment outcomes based on which school you get into, this book is a good investment."
"This book examines every aspect of the law school admissions process and gives the reader the confidence to approach top law schools."
"I'd give the text of the book 4/5 stars. Overall then, I'm happy to have Ivey's advice, but I wish I had bought the Kindle version instead of this shoddy paperback."
"This book is incredibly helpful in answering most of your law school application questions."
"Ms. Ivey does a great job conveying the good, the bad, and the sometimes ugly about what REALLY is going on in the back offices of the unknown admissions team world."
"I purchased this book in addition to the Law School Admissions Game, which was helpful but seemed geared towards college students."

The Smartest Kids in the World: And How They Got That Way
The Smartest Kids in the World “gets well beneath the glossy surfaces of these foreign cultures and manages to make our own culture look newly strange....The question is whether the startling perspective provided by this masterly book can also generate the will to make changes” ( The New York Times Book Review ) . Kim, fifteen, raises $10,000 so she can move from Oklahoma to Finland; Eric, eighteen, trades his high-achieving Minnesota suburb for a booming city in South Korea; and Tom, seventeen, leaves a historic Pennsylvania village for Poland. Amanda Ripley, an American journalist, seeks to answer such questions in The Smartest Kids in the World , her fine new book about the schools that are working around the globe ….Ms. “[ The Smartest Kids in the World is] a riveting new book….Ripley’s policy recommendations are sensible and strong….The American school reform debate has been desperately in need of such no-nonsense advice, which firmly puts matters of intellect back at the center of education where they belong.” (The Daily Beast). “Gripping….Ripley's characters are fascinating, her writing style is accessible, and her observations are fresh….If you're interested in how to improve public schools, read Ripley's book today.” (The Huffington Post ). “In riveting prose...this timely and inspiring book offers many insights into how to improve America’s mediocre school system.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review ). “This book gives me hope that we can create education systems of equity and rigor—if we heed the lessons from top performing countries and focus more on preparing teachers than on punishing them." By drawing on experiences, successes, and failures in education systems in the highest-performing countries across the globe, Amanda Ripley lays out a course for what we must do to dramatically improve our nation's schools.” (Michelle Rhee, Founder and CEO of StudentsFirst ). Those stunned parents and teachers in New York State and elsewhere would do well to read this book first if they are inclined to blame their children’s/students’ poor results on a new test.” (OECD “Education Today” Blog ). “[Ripley] is a compelling storyteller who deftly plaits humorous anecdotes and hard data to whip you in the face with her findings.” (Kristen Levithan Brain, Child Magazine).
Reviews
"I had long heard that Finland’s education was unique and crashing through testing markers, but until this book I didn’t really understand why."
"This is a balanced examination of current research and interviews with education experts around the world - INCLUDING the students so often excluded."
"Amanda Ripley Pulls no punches in her reporting on education systems."
"By looking at teacher training, student expectations (from the students themselves and their parents and school administrators), school spending and other criteria (think expensive high school football programs), Ms. Ripley paints an interesting picture of the stark differences between the schools here in the United States and schools in countries where they get it right."
"I generally dread the books on pedagogy and education that get handed to me, and this was no exception - until I actually started reading."
"Great book."
"It helps start an important discussion about schools in America and gives us pause for self reflection, both as parents and a system."
"This should be required reading for parents, educators, and politicians."

The 5 Love Languages of Children: The Secret to Loving Children Effectively
You know you love your child. Discover your child’s love language Assist your child in successful learning Use the love languages to correct and discipline more effectively Build a foundation of unconditional love for your child. I wish every parent, grandparent and educator had The 5 Love Languages of Children (The Secret to Loving Children Effectively) to read. I have been a lover of the 5 love languages since I first stumbled upon it and I love that this helps in opening the door when dealing with children. Each child is different so I love the practical and useful ideas not just in loving them and making sure they know that they are loved but for discipline and everyday interactions." You love your child, but does your child feel loved? Every child has a unique way of feeling loved. Use the love languages to help your child learn best Discipline and correct more lovingly and effectively.
Reviews
"The love languages (Words of Affirmation, Physical Touch, Quality Time, Acts of Service, and Gifts) are the same. Also, there were sections devoted to parenting philosophy and the nature of children whereas the original book focused more on the spouse and romantic love relationships. Gary Chapman and Ross Campbell had plenty of good and wise things to say about raising children and I highlighted up a storm. -Affection and love mean expressing appreciation for the very being of a child, for those characteristics and abilities that are part of the total package of the person. The goal is that the child would reach a level of maturity that will allow him one day to function as a responsible adult in society. While I without a doubt knew that both of my parents loved me I definitely grew up in a household where punishment was the main form of discipline. It's an information packed book with easy concepts to implement into your daily life in hopes that your children will feel more loved."
"I have used the concepts presented in the original 5 Love Languages book with my clients for many years. However, it can be a bit of a challenge for clients to translate the concepts presented in that book to interactions with their children."
"Great book!"
"If you wanted to, you read the entire book in one sitting."
"Great sound advice for communicating love to my kids, it's helped me better understand myself and my family better."
"This book opened my eyes and help me understand my kids better ...and myself!"
"Love this book-- just finished it."
"In changing our perspective and, subsequently, out technique, we have noticed a marked improvement in out son's behavior."

Reviews
"Any serious GRE prepper knows that the GRE Official Guide The Official Guide to the GRE General Test, Third Edition and free GRE PowerPrep Software from ETS are the best places to start, but the problem is that the GRE Official Guides, PowerPrep, and Super Power Pack Official GRE Super Power Pack, while the very best sources of realistic GRE practice questions and diagnostic tests, do a pretty lousy job of explaining the GRE in terms that most students can understand. I am a fan of the company and its employees for the most part, although they are not as open to outside materials as they try to appear, which is why their study plans, while popular, are glaringly incomplete. They also exude a bit of an amateurish vibe, as evidenced by their goofy videos and inconsistent/mediocre online educational content. Just because I know that I could do a better job (that is, if I weren't busy tutoring private students of my own) doesn't mean that I should be overly critical of their work."

"Many college students seem shockingly ok with forgetting half of what they spent so much money to learn, I for one spent the money to know and remember what I have been taught."
"He does not sugar coat the need for initial effort spent learning the systems, and does not belabor the obvious need & benefits of practice. AFTER finishing this book a little extra reading in the subject area, proved that without using the more commonly recognized terms, Mr. Horsley covered many areas of value including the "Major System" for handling the memorization of numbers based on a method of translating numbers into sounds. We all learn differently, & for this reason Mr. Horsley's book is a decent springboard from which to launch oneself into the act of mental improvement. The words created by the system he introduces in Chapter 12, can be used to create "Peg words" that upon creation are automatically organised in order."
"He also shows you/helps with examples on how you can use what you have learned earlier in the book to jump right in with both feet and start and work to improve your memory right way."
