The Gospel of Wealth

Andrew Carnegie

Casa editrice: DigiCat

Sinossi

In "The Gospel of Wealth," Andrew Carnegie articulates a compelling philosophy advocating for the wealthy to consider their fortunes as a moral obligation to promote the welfare of society. Written during the late 19th century, amid the rise of industrial capitalism, Carnegie's essay blends a persuasive rhetoric with a utilitarian approach to philanthropy, emphasizing the necessity of responsible stewardship of wealth. His discussions pivot around the moral responsibilities of the rich and elaborate on what he terms the 'surplus wealth'—the excess capital that should be utilized for the greater good, a theme that resonates with contemporaneous socio-economic debates about wealth distribution and public responsibility. Andrew Carnegie, a self-made steel magnate and philanthropist, rose from humble beginnings as the son of a weaver in Scotland. His personal journey from poverty to unparalleled wealth profoundly influenced his views on the social implications of fortune. Carnegie's belief in the potential for personal success coupled with his commitment to uplift society underscores his transition from industrialist to a champion of philanthropy, who donated over $350 million to various causes, including education, libraries, and peace initiatives. Readers are encouraged to engage with Carnegie's thought-provoking reflections that remain pertinent today, as they challenge contemporary perspectives on wealth and social responsibility. "The Gospel of Wealth" is not just a manifesto for the affluent; it is a clarion call for ethical leadership and a blueprint for leveraging wealth for the greater good, making it essential reading for anyone interested in economic philosophy and social ethics.

Begin Boldly - How Women Can...

Christie Hunter Arscott

Learn how to take the right risks for lasting success. Begin Boldly provides a framework for making the kind of bold moves that will get your career off to its best start! 
 
Many women enter the workforce feeling like they can never make a mistake, and as a result, they don't take risks in the crucial early stages of their careers. Women, and BIPOC women especially, are disproportionally penalized for mistakes, so any risk begins to feel like a bad risk. A 2019 KPMG study found that fewer than 43 percent of women surveyed were willing to take "big" risks, including volunteering to do a major presentation or asking for a pay raise. 
 
Christie Hunter Arscott equips readers with the ability to differentiate between reckless and intelligent risks using an actionable model built around three mindsets: a curious mindset, a courageous mindset, and an agile mindset. With a step-by-step method for taking risks, making refinements, and assessing rewards, Arscott's approach gives women a flexible and repeatable framework to guide them through this critical career skill. 
 
Liftoff empowers women to take chances on themselves so that risk-taking becomes an enlightening and empowering antidote for self-doubt. 
 
This book will include a discussion guide.

The Compass and The Coin - A...

Luis Miletti JR

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
The Compass and the Coin is not another financial advice book. It is a beautifully told parable about the real questions that linger beneath spreadsheets, retirement calculators, and all the sensible advice in the world: Have I done enough? Is this really what I’ve been working toward? And why, after years of discipline, does peace still feel so far away?
Mark and Dana Whitmore did everything right. They built careers, raised a family, checked every box their generation was taught to believe would lead to security. Yet as retirement approaches, they find themselves quietly lost—adrift in the complexity of their own success. More than once, they ask each other: Is this all there is?
Their answer comes not from a new financial product or strategy, but from an unexpected guide known as the Navigator. Through a series of quietly profound encounters, the Navigator invites them to see their wealth not as an end, but as a means—a vehicle that can only serve them if it is pointed toward what matters most. He offers them two tools: a compass, to rediscover their direction, and a coin, to remind them that every choice carries meaning.
What follows is a story that feels less like a lesson and more like a homecoming. Mark and Dana journey through uncertainty, regret, and finally, clarity—not just about money, but about what they truly value. Along the way, they confront the emotional scars left by past decisions, learn to name the biases that cloud their judgment, and discover that security is not found in accumulation, but in alignment.
The Compass and the Coin is both parable and playbook. The first half draws you in with storytelling as warm and wise as The Alchemist or The Go-Giver. The second half, “The North Star Principle,” offers readers a deeply practical, values-based framework for transforming their own financial journey—one rooted in clarity, simplification, purpose, and emotional intelligence.
