A WARRIOR'S DAUGHTER By Zitkála-Šá (1876 – 1938)
The story's main message is that your environment helps to shape your identity. The book is about a woman who takes on a traditionally male role, rescuing her lover instead of playing the maiden-in-distress. The story becomes one of her strength, intelligence, and bravery instead of the prowess of the young man. The story of the young woman rescuing her male lover through strength and bravery appears occasionally in traditional storytelling across other cultures, but it is rare.
This book shares a different perspective than the male, white and middle-class view of the world.
The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels
Workers of the World Unite!
Stagnating wages, rising energy bills and increased food prices had led to strikes up and down the country.
Many working people are frustrated!
Companies all reported massive profits, giving huge dividend payments to shareowners.
Further dividing the difference between the rich and the poor, the haves and the have-nots, the workers and the capitalists.
Is capitalism broken?
Can we learn about the present by looking into the past to improve the future?

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by Frank Baum
We’re not in Kansas anymore.
The Wizard of Oz film starts with Dorothy lost and confused at what to do next and goes on an adventure for a solution to find home.
The first step on this Hero’s Journey is often the hardest to take.
We are living busier more complex lives than we have ever done before. Like Dorothy entering a different world after the tornado.
Today things are very different than the world before the financial crisis.
There is a path you can follow to get you home. You will need to have three companions with you on your journey, the scarecrow (land) the Tinman (business) and a Lion (reserves of cash and bonds). The scarecrow needs a brain, the tinman needs a heart and the lion needs courage (explained more in the full book Millennial Money Mindset)
THE ART OF MONEY GETTING and the 20 GOLDEN RULES FOR MAKING MONEY By P.T. Barnum
Those who really desire to attain an independence, have only to set their minds upon it, and adopt the proper means, as they do in regard to any other object which they wish to accomplish, and the thing is easily done. But however easy it may be found to make money, I have no doubt many of my hearers will agree it is the most difficult thing in the world to keep it. The road to wealth is, as Dr. Franklin truly says, "as plain as the road to the mill."
It consists simply in expending less than we earn; that seems to be a very simple problem.
Mr. Micawber, one of those happy creations of the genial Dickens, puts the case in a strong light when he says that to have annual income of twenty pounds per annum, and spend twenty pounds and sixpence, is to be the most miserable of men; whereas, to have an income of only twenty pounds, and spend but nineteen pounds and sixpence is to be the happiest of mortals.
Many of my readers may say, "we understand this: this is economy, and we know the economy is wealth; we know we can't eat our cake and keep it also."
Yet I beg to say that perhaps more cases of failure arise from mistakes on this point than almost any other.
The fact is, many people think they understand economy when they really do not.
THE ENCHIRIDION (the Manual) by Epictetus
Epictetus taught that philosophy is a way of life and not just a theoretical discipline.
Epictetus was a Greek Stoic philosopher and was born into slavery. Epictetus was born around AD 50
To Epictetus, We should focus on what we can control rather than what we can’t control. All external events are beyond our control; we should accept whatever happens calmly and dispassionately. However, individuals are responsible for their own actions, which they can examine and control through rigorous self-discipline.
Epictetus thought that the foundation of all philosophy is self-knowledge.
This is Epictetus manual for life and has inspired countless people over the years to improve their lives
The Enchiridion (the manual) by Epictetus is a must-read book
