  “The best book there is about the stock market”—timeless investing basics by the host of the Emmy Award–winning show Adam Smith’s Money World (The New York Times Book Review). This essential book takes readers to the Street to learn about the intricacies of money and how the stock market impacts every area of our lives.

In witty, easily accessible language, he shares pithy insights about the role of intuition and the psychology of guilt, arguing that there is no substitute for information. Smith’s Irregular Rules shatter common myths and misconceptions, revealing why nothing works all the time and illustrating how greed and fear fuel the market.   Readers will learn about the safest types of investing, the key to following market trends, and how to capitalize growth, gleaning tips on stock movers, winners and losers, and much more. Peppered with entertaining and prescient anecdotes, The Money Game analyzes who makes the really big money and explores the meaning of our desire to become rich. From selling short and buying long to Wall Street’s crowd mentality, from what constitutes a random walk to why timing is everything, this is the definitive portrait of the Street, then and now.

  This content is included in the book/audiobook Napoleon Hill's Greatest Speeches, and made available here in this stand-alone audiobook. This article was also published many years ago in Plain Talk Magazine. This Changing World audio includes a brief bio of Napoleon Hill. The subject of the audiobook is straight forward and profound: The power of faith. Some of the key points covered include: 
  Faith creates an Abraham Lincoln; fear develops an Al Capone. 
  Faith evolves a great leader; fear creates a cringing follower. 
  Faith makes men honorable at trade; fear makes men dishonest and stealthy-minded. 
  Faith causes one to look for and to find the best there is in men; fear discovers only their shortcomings and deficiencies. 
  Faith unmistakably identifies itself through the look in one’s eyes, the expression on one’s face, the tone of one’s voice, and the way one walks; fear identifies itself through the same avenues. 
  Faith attracts only that which is helpful and constructive; fear attracts only that which is destructive. 
  Right works through faith; wrong works through fear. 
  Anything that causes one to be afraid should have close examination.

  All efforts directed toward the correcting of temperamental or mental blemishes or defects and nervous conditions are of benefit to humanity. In producing this book the author's purpose was to help mankind to overcome these weaknesses, which are a serious impediment to mental development, and hinder personal advancement and general progress. The aim of the publishers in issuing this translation is to put into the hands of those who wish to overcome their failings, become masters of themselves, and command the attention and respect of others, a work that has been thoroughly tested abroad and one that will be found of exceptional service in attaining the end in view—the securing of a perfect balance. 
  This book is written in two parts. The first points to the need of Poise in daily life, indicates the obstacles to be overcome, and discusses the effects of Poise on personal efficiency. The second instructs the reader how to secure that evenness of temperament which is the chief characteristic of Poise. It includes, in addition, a series of practical physical exercises to be used in acquiring Poise. If such a work as this is to do good, if the reader really wishes to benefit by the advice that it gives him, it must be read thoughtfully and diligently, not fitfully and forgetfully, and the reader most steadfastly keep before him the maxim of the author—Poise is a power derived from the Mastery of Self.
