Neuroscientists estimate that over 90 percent of our operating systems-beliefs, behaviors, patterns-are unconscious. Since the surface story determines less than 10 percent of our decisions, how can we illuminate the shadow story responsible for over 90 percent of what we do each day? Once we systematically understand our relationship with money, can we overcome the mind and brain's resistance to change? Especially when so many of the current popular strategies for change are contrary to the way the mind and brain work? Each money story line contains unspoken assumptions, emotional agendas, and unconscious meanings. Money becomes a portal to the immaterial and the intangible, a Rorschach onto which we project our needs and hopes. Your New Money Story: The Beliefs, Behaviors, and Brain Science to Rewire for Wealth combines twenty-five years of psychiatric and psychoanalytic practice and over a dozen years of professional and executive mentor coaching with groundbreaking research in psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral economics to show readers how to recognize money behaviors ghostwritten by hidden assumptions, overcome the brain's patterned responses that lead to bad decisions, harness the power of regulating states of mind, develop the art and neuroscience of money strategies, and identify and remedy emotionally based money mistakes and financial fallacies. The ROADMAP System deconstructs the process of understanding a money story to systematically construct a new one to write new mind software and rewire the brain for wealth.

An essential resource for workers navigating their retirement and pension options, from the labor organizer's perspective. Researching retirement plans should not take the rest of your life, even if deciphering the relevant paperwork seems to have become a full-time job. Deliberately elaborate legalese is obscuring the efforts of financial elites to seize control of workers' collective retirement savings--and The Labor Guide to Retirement Plans is here to translate. Neoliberal retirement reforms have escalated elites' efforts to replace guaranteed workplace retirement plans with weak 401(k)-like savings accounts and risky stock market investment schemes. The result is arguably the largest source of labor value expropriation over the last four decades. In light of all this, what do workers need to know as they assess their future prospects--especially in terms of the security their retirement plans may or may not bring? What should union activists keep in mind as they push for the national and workplace reforms needed to produce greater retirement security? This nuts-and-bolts book provides a much-needed demystification of the retirement system. Even more than that The Labor Guide to Retirement Plans enables us to take charge of our own personal futures, as a first step towards taking back what belongs to us all.

David's key objective is to present the reader with an opportunity to move forward with confidence and "eyes wide open".

More than a guide for families seeking a facility, it also provides details of operating an adult care home for those interested. Every family will face the question of how to obtain optimal care for their aging members-and find much needed answers here." -Leonide Martin, RN, FNP, DrPH Today there are 77 million Baby Boomers living in the U.S., meaning 10,000 people will be turning 65 years old every day. Currently, most Boomers aren't in assisted living or memory care... yet. However, they will be moving into senior housing in droves over the next couple of decades. With limited resources available at this time, planning for assisted living can be overwhelming for those who are making difficult choices for their loved ones (or themselves).

You will learn: What is happening in the senior care industry today, and what the options are How smaller senior care homes are becoming ever-popular in the wave of COVID-19 How to invest in a senior care home How to convert your home or property into a senior care home How to protect the wealth of your family and honor Mom and Dad Designed as a practical guide through the complex world of senior living, you'll find advice and guidance to help you make decisions that honor the elderly, protect family resources, and provide a lucrative investment opportunity.
