David Bach's Smart Women Finish Rich is a homage to the financial wisdom of his grandmother; it's also an excellent foundation for women who are starting to get their financial lives in order. Bach's approach to money management is rooted in years of investment seminars for women and his work as senior vice president of investments at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter. During that time he recognized that "people rarely know what is truly driving them emotionally when it comes to money." In response, Bach has written a guide to money management for women based on his belief that "financial planning is as much an emotional issue as it is an intellectual one." Are you considering your values in your work and investing? What part of your daily work is driven by your goals in life? Is your latte habit preventing you from accumulating substantial wealth? Bach addresses tax strategies, wills, insurance, retirement plans, and investments in a highly accessible manner. Smart Women Finish Rich ably bridges the gap between simple saving strategies and preparing for widowhood and financial independence. --Brad Doll

Customer Reviews:
A MUST for all women!.......2007-09-26
David Bach provides helpful and realistic advice when it comes to money. He brings home the ways we all spend money on unimportant things and how if channeled in the right direction can yield a very comfy nest egg. It was GREAT to have it to listen to in the car. I've lent it out to several women so far and they are all big fans of it.
Easy read.......2007-09-18
I haven't finished the book yet but so far so good! It's an easy read and I read it when I have time. Small enough to carry in a bad and take with me everywhere. So far I've learned alot and hope to finish it soon!
Women should read this book..........2007-09-05
My dad used to tell me that all I had to do was to marry a man and he will take care of me. I never bought into that and didn't get much more financial advice outside of that from him. This book offers some good advice. It is true that switching over my savings account to a higher interest earning account has more than paid for the cost of buying this book. It is more of a motivational book but has some good tips on how to get started for personal financial planning. When I talked to a financial planner he was surprised how much I knew about finance and what I wanted to do with my money. I also like what Bach has to say about educating future generations - what we need to teach our kids.
The Book for Every Woman.......2007-09-02
I would suggest that every woman read this book and not only read it but actually putting the priniciples into practice and making a plan for their finances.
This book really helped me to see how much I was on track and also showed me some areas that needed to be tweaked.
Great Tool!.......2007-09-01
I purchased this book for my daughter who just graduated from college & began a career. It proved not only valuable to me as I plan for retirement but it's also a valuable tool for her as she sorts through managing a bugdet & planning a future. This book is written for women, in our language. I'd recommend it to other women.

Worthwhile Book to Read for College Freshmen.......2000-07-02
Pat O'Brien came to speak to my graduating senior class this year about the reality of college and how to make the best of it. I think it was a good thing to put the end in perspective first and make goals for yourself in order to make your path towards success even more efficient. His Winning Characteristics are not always easy to accomplish, but with discipline and hard work anyone can achieve them. Basic tips on studying, getting to know professors, extracurricular activites, and internships are helpful in envisioning your undergraduate years as challenging, but exciting experiences. Overall, O'Brien offers sufficient and real information that every college freshmen should know, and if he or she utilizes O'Briens advice they will be much more likely to be successful.
COLLEGE THRIVE!.......1999-12-02
This book is about more than just surviving in college, it's about thriving in college. A must have for every student entering college. If you like this book, you'll love "Major in Success," by Patrick Combs. It changed my life.
A must-read for anyone college bound.......1999-07-31
If you are headed for college, this is the pep talk you need! I read it in a single evening, and it got me pumped to do my best in college. It gives you lots of great tips on how to make the most out of college, but it's a quick and enjoyable read! You're investing a great deal of time and money into your college education; its important to get a good return on that investment. Making College Count shows you how. This book has all the good advice of a needed lecture, but it's got a light tone so you want to keep reading! Enjoy!
The College BIBLE.......1999-07-18
Making College Count has to be the most realistic, accurate account of college success available to students today. Not only does one encounter all details of college life, but many aspects of life beyond the books. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to strive for the best in their college years, taking skills to last a life time.

Good writing tips but not applicable to dynamic workplace.......2007-03-13
Some of the basic writing tips regarding word choice, sentence length, reading level, and formatting are great. The rest might apply if your company has never documented its policies and procedures before or if you work in a static workplace (government office?) where policies or procedures are added or changed only a couple of times a year (do people really still print these on paper?) However, if you work at a dynamic, constantly changing company that must respond to thousands of different customer queries a day, much of the advice is not applicable.
A LONG history with this title..........2006-04-04
I have used this book frequently as a business consultant and teacher over the last 10 years. It is THE "How To" book on the subject. It goes very well with POLYPROC Policies and Procedures (also available on Amazon - search on Polyproc or Sarbanes Oxley).
Excellent. Easy to read or use as a reference........1999-11-09
No dry reading about theory here. Ms. Campbell has created a very useful tool.
Poorly Written, Hard to Understand.......1999-11-03
I found this book hard to understand and it didn't follow any great pattern or flow.
Useful, but a bit too general.......1999-05-18
The book is easy to read and understand. It provides helpful guidelines and background material to design procedures. It works a bit as a checklist, in order to remember all the elements in procedure writting. However, it's not meant for any particular industry, and is very general. I would have liked to find more specific examples, and maybe sections for particular industries.

Must read for Business Workers.......2003-12-21
First of all, check out one of THE BEST speaker's the world has: www.kevinoc.com. He was the professor who introduced this book to me. The insights and examples Fujishin provides are worthwhile and actually produce results. This is not a direct 'how-to' book; rather, it allows you to foresee problems and act in order to prevent them. It opens your mind and makes you think 'why' then 'how,' which is much more effective.

Book Description
This thoughtful advice will help businesspeople escape the clichés of unnecessarily complicated and impersonal business writing to create more effective communication and help build professional relationships. Offered are practice activities, sample letters, and a variety of helpful tips. Explained are the golden rule of all communication and the five keys to effective writing that will transform stuffy, ambiguous, and obscure writing into better letters, reports, and proposals.
Book Description
If group meetings seem inefficient, unproductive, and time consuming, then it's time to invest in a text that can assist in making the most of group decision-making meetings. Effective Meetings establishes the rules for effective group decision making, outlines the positions and roles for effective group decision making, and examines the different types of decision groups. Since the first edition, the context in which organizations exist and work has greatly changed, and this volume accounts for these changes by addressing issues such as the competitive environment, more resilient organizational structures, and emphasis on quality and evaluation. The second edition has been updated to include references to some of the critical issues facing agencies today such as family and community violence, health care, and homelessness. For illustrative purposes, this volume uses a variety of meetings including advisory groups, staff meetings, board meetings, intergroups, and intercultural meetings. Unlike the first edition that targeted a more general management, this edition is specifically written for human services. Effective Meetings, Second Edition is essential reading for students in social work, human services, management, and public administration. Practitioners in managerial and development positions will also find this edition extremely useful.

10 Days to More Confident Public Speaking .......2007-10-20
The content of this book is excellent. The chapters are clearly stated. It is written in a logical sequence and is practical and helpful. It was also in excellent physical condition. It is a very good reference book, also.
Excellent Knowledge and Guide for the "Passionate Communicator/Public Speaker/Teacher".......2007-04-21
We all know that our first public speaking event was unsuccessful. However, after giving more and more and more speeches in school, business, church meetings etc., you build more confidence and your nervousness turns to confident energy. What I have learned is that in order to get over the nervousness as a beginner, you must PRACTICE, PRACTICE, and volunteer or participate in any communication topics that you can speak on. Basically "initiate communication" at all times in your environment such as school, work, on the phone etc. The other secret is to have patients, it takes time, but the more you practice and study the art of public speaking, you will become very proud of your increase confidence and speaking ability. This book should be your number 1 source to develop this skill. Read it atleast 3 times, while practicing and giving speeches before you purchase other public speaking book. I have several to increase my knowledge, but this one is the best. God bless you and you will do great. Remember - you develop this skill, you become very valuable and unique to yourself, your career and to others because this skill is very powerful.
Book Helps Principal Speak More Confidently!.......2007-02-11
I enjoyed the encouragement and the practicle tips and instructions. It's doable and just what I was looking for - a good course in a book. It's a fast read. The author understands what is needed and he delivers. He delivers it well.
Cassette version used.......2006-08-12
Some value for everyone. Half of the information is only appropriate for a professional speaker. I will not listen a second time.
Wow...bad.......2006-06-13
Or at least not what I was looking for...but based on all the other reviews here, I thought it was. This book has a very limited audience in mind, namely those who are giving "speeches", not just regular, everyday presentations and meetings. The name of the book is deceiving, and so are the reviews. The first chapter is the only one that is moderately worthwhile if you're actually looking for tips on becoming more confident. Otherwise, it is simply a laundry list of ways to give big speeches; not helpful at all to the average joe who works in corporate america and just wants to feel more confident. I realize this is difficult to teach in a book, but the other reviewers gave the impression that I might garner some tidbits on this.
