Rich Girl Nation
From the founder of Money with Katie, a leveled-up finance guide for ambitious women everywhere--and a rallying cry for a new money movement Women experience money differently than men do. In the United States, women have only 55 cents for every dollar of wealth held by men, are more likely to end up in poverty following a divorce, and are less likely to retire with the resources they need. What can women do to build wealth and claim financial power in a system that wasn't designed for them? Katie Gatti Tassin, personal finance writer and host of the popular podcast The Money with Katie Show, has built an energized following of smart, ambitious women seeking a deeper understanding of the financial issues that affect them. In Rich Girl Nation, Tassin deconstructs the unique challenges women face on their journey to financial freedom, offering context and nuanced guidance on money matters including: Performing a budgetary "Hot Girl Detox"Proven salary negotiation strategies that effectively navigate gender biasInvesting frameworks that make you the leader of your financial lifeHow (and why) to create a prenupPreparing and saving for childcare efficientlyRetiring independently (and in a tax-optimized way)Packed with scrupulous research and Tassin's trademark wit, Rich Girl Nation uncovers the real story behind our financial system and shows us exactly how to thrive within it while we fight for broader change. It's time for women to unite in unapologetic financial autonomy with the net worths to show for it--and to change the playing field not just for ourselves but for the next generation of Rich Girls, too.
Navigating Through the Fog of Negotiation
Negotiations are an integral part of our daily lives, but they can also be challenging and complex. To successfully navigate the fog of negotiation, people rely on reference points--comparison standards for evaluating potential and final negotiation outcomes. They enable negotiators to make smart decisions and take effective action despite difficult circumstances. But how do these reference points emerge? What functions do they serve in negotiations? And how can they be utilized to shape outcomes? This book delves into the psychology of reference points in negotiations, exploring how they influence decision-making, behavior and negotiated outcomes. By uncovering their mechanisms, this work provides insights for understanding, predicting and refining negotiation techniques--essential knowledge for researchers, professionals and anyone aiming to negotiate more effectively.

The Unwritten Rules Are Meant To Be Broken
Trading Price Action Trends
A practical guide to profiting from institutional trading trends The key to being a successful trader is finding a system that works and sticking with it. Author Al Brooks has done just that. By simplifying his trading system and trading only 5-minute price charts he's found a way to capture profits regardless of market direction or economic climate. His first book, Reading Price Charts Bar by Bar, offered an informative examination of his system, but it didn't allow him to get into the real nuts and bolts of the approach. Now, with this new series of books, Brooks takes you step by step through the entire process. By breaking down his trading system into its simplest pieces: institutional piggybacking or trend trading (the topic of this particular book in the series), trading ranges, and transitions or reversals, this three book series offers access to Brooks' successful methodology. Price Action Trends Bar by Bar describes in detail what individual bars and combinations of bars can tell a trader about what institutions are doing. This is critical because the key to making money in trading is to piggyback institutions and you cannot do that unless you understand what the charts are telling you about their behavior. This book will allow you to see what type of trend is unfolding, so can use techniques that are specific to that type of trend to place the right trades. Discusses how to profit from institutional trading trends using technical analysis Outlines a detailed and original trading approach developed over the author's successful career as an independent trader Other books in the series include Price Action Trading Ranges Bar by Bar and Price Action Reversals Bar by Bar If you're looking to make the most of your time in today's markets the trading insights found in Price Action Trends Bar by Bar will help you achieve this goal.
