  In his classic book The Elements of Style, Professor William Strunk Jr. whittled down the art of powerful writing to a few basic rules. Forty years later, E.B. White initiated a revision, and thus The Elements of Style became known as Strunk & White. Following this same format, authors Charles Ellis and Burton Malkiel, two of the investment world's greatest thinkers, have combined their talents to produce The Elements of Investing - a short, straight-talking audio book about investing and saving that will put you on a path towards a lifetime of financial success. 
  
  
  The Elements of Investing lays to rest the popular shibboleths that undergird the hyperactive trading of the average investor. In it, Malkiel and Ellis skillfully focus their message to address the essentials and offer a set of simple, but powerful thoughts on how to avoid Mr. Market and his "loser's game," and instead enjoy the "winner's game" approach to investing. 
  
  
  All the investment rules and principles you need to know are here - with clear advice on how to follow them. In just a few hours of listening time, you will learn all you need to know to be truly successful in investing. Divided into five essential elements of investing this little audio book packs a big message that can help secure your financial future all the way through retirement. 
  
  
  A disciplined approach to investing, complemented by understanding is all you need to enjoy success. This practical guide explains what you really need to know and puts you on the right course for long-term success through all kinds of markets.

Is it limited economic prospects? Cultural or gender stigma? Economics correspondent Paul Solman reports.

  Ahoy, have you been searching high and low, looking for the right book that will change your life in a new and better direction? Well, shiver me timbers! Then stop wasting your time. Stop because you could be walking past the best treasure map to a great fortune, that you may ever encounter in your lifetime. Warning: this book has been written by Justin Allen, and he is completely obsessed about financial freedom. So, Bucko, this book is only for those who are willing to set their mind to be programmed to: “Do-what-ever-it-takes mode.” That it's one thing to have found or been given a treasure map, but it's completely useless unless you take action. Matey’s, instead of wasting your time and money reading and listening to the wrong treasure maps that are nothing but toilet paper, why not leverage your time to get more from doing less? For example, wouldn't you rather read or listen to one great book, than many crappy books? Be warned that this book may give you an extra edge over everybody else, and may cause an information brain overload with causing smoke coming out of your ears! To summarise the book, it's about shifting your mindset to a better and improved version of yourself, with specialized knowledge about nearly everything that can be valuable clues to achieve a great fortune as quickly as possible. What’s the point of accumulating your treasure chest slowly? What's the point of putting your life’s remote control constantly on pause until you are around 65-years old, to afford to work less and only then to push the play button? To me, for most people they are only retiring only because they have ran out of time, not because they’re extremely wealthy, and will end up with the outcome of a guaranteed wasted long shot of their most precious asset called “Time", with a guaranteed little payoff that will never make millions and millions of dollars fast for most people! “There has to be another way.” Well it's called, "The Treasure Map Checklist."
