Perhaps Tomorrow Will Be Better

If you've ever wondered whether it's you or the world that has gone mad, then this book will confirm your suspicions. And, no, it's not you!

Maddie's been dying for so long, she's forgotten how to live. Receiving a prognosis that doesn't give her long, Madison Gardner makes some tough decisions. She'll face death, because what choice does she have, but she's doing it on her terms. To Maddie, that means pushing everyone out of her life so no one will be left behind to grieve for her when she's gone. But when Maddie's secret crush, Lucas Nash, asks her out for a simple hamburger, she decides to break her own rule. One date doesn't have to lead to anything more, but it does. Lucas works his way into Maddie's life, making her question her choices and rethink her decisions, but when it really comes down to it, Maddie's not as in control of her life as she thinks, and simply waiting to die is never the answer. If you like tear jerkers with a happy ending, don't miss Maddie's story in Maybe Tomorrow!

Nothing lies beyond the scope of your ability. The new design for living you create has no limitations. Literally all the good things that life and the world offer are yours to have and enjoy. But you need to recognize them, accept them, and incorporate them into the new design you are now going to create. In its scope, and in its effect on readers, A New Design for Living is second only to Ernest Holmes's magnum opus, The Science of Mind. In this cherished spiritual classic, Holmes demonstrates that wishes-from health, love, and friendship to the career and home of your dreams-are not only possible to realize but are within each person's very reach. At last available again, this galvanizing book teaches how to turn mind-power into an infinitely positive force-the very force of creation itself. Harmonize with the beauty and intelligence of the universe, watch the magnificence of life transform before you, and awaken to the nature of reality. With this newfound power of transformative thinking, every goal is attainable.

The articles I wrote for ordinary people became my obsession. Why? It is because the mass of information created for ordinary people isn't very helpful. It's boring. It's hard to understand. It's dictatorial. It's irrelevant. Did I mention that it's boring? So, I created a different style of writing about money to answer these problems. I tried to explain things in a way that makes sense to normal folks. I dispensed with the bossy junk, the worn-out examples, and the rules of thumb routinely ignored by millions. Instead, I tried to make the lessons real and explain things in a way that normal people can understand. I also argue against the austere budget dictated by finance professionals everywhere. Have some fun, I say. Go ahead and drink that latte. Order those season tickets. Let eBay or Amazon help you succeed. Buy the house you want and don't fret much about payments.
