Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had Dr. Kwon as a professor and from his class and this text I used for another class, I can tell he is an expert in his field. I still have this book from the class to use as a reference during my studies in Risk Management.

The New Elite: Inside the Minds of the Truly Wealthy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It has been said that the wealthy are different. Well, not so much. In fact, according the in-depth study done by the authors of this book, the wealthy came not from wealth but from middle class backgrounds. They therefore have all of the middle class ethics and needs, wants and desires.
Yet within the wealthy, there are differences. From first becoming wealthy to having had wealth over a decade or more, money brings different meaning to the groups within the wealthy.
If you're a marketer, you should read this book. I came to it as someone who makes a living understanding different groups and how to sell to them. To that end, I got a good deal of useful information from the book.
You'll learn what they read, what they buy, how they feel about their wealth and money in general. You'll learn far more about them by reading this book than anything you might see on television.
It is full of research. It has lots of facts and figures and very little editorializing, which I like. This is by far the most interesting and best written book on this subject that I've read and I highly recommend it to you.
- Susanna K. Hutcheson

Killing Sacred Cows: Overcoming the Financial Myths That Are Destroying Your Prosperity Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I don't usually review books on Amazon, but this one irritated me enough to make the effort.
This book is a new age self-help motivational screed in the guise of financial planning advice. There are a few interesting points made, a lot of questionable ones, and some potentially harmful suggestions.
I found myself skipping whole paragraphs of the author repeating himself and his vague platitudes for the umpteenth time. I felt like I was holding my breath, waiting for him to get to the meat of the financial advice... all the way to the end.
Guess what I found at the end? Several sales pitches for his and his friends seminars, websites and books.
As another reviewer said, the 'meat' of this book would only fill a single chapter. The rest is fluff.
Don't follow the (possibly fradulent) positive-reviewing sheep, and don't waste your money on this book - if you really want to take a look, get it from the library (like I did).
