Stanley, the author of the best-selling The Millionaire Next Door, challenges popular notions about wealth and lifestyle.

This book serves as a wake-up call for individuals who are caught in the trap of “acting rich” and encourages them to adopt the financial practices of real millionaires who focus on long-term wealth-building rather than short-term appearances.

Hold Me Tight by Sue Johnson: In-Depth Review
Let me start with a confession: I picked up this book during one of the lowest points in my relationship. My partner and I were stuck in what felt like an endless loop of arguments, misunderstandings, and emotional distance. We weren't fighting about big things—money, infidelity, or major life decisions. Instead, we were drowning in a sea of small hurts, unspoken needs, and that terrible feeling that we were speaking completely different languages.

Why Your Love Style Could Be Sabotaging Your Relationships: An Eye-Opening Journey Through Attachment Theory by Amir Levine and Rachael Heller
I'll be honest with you – when I first picked up this masterpiece about attachment theory, I thought I was just grabbing another self-help book that would tell me the same recycled relationship advice we've all heard a million times. You know the type: "communicate better," "be yourself," "love yourself first." But what I discovered between these pages completely revolutionized how I view relationships, not just romantic ones, but every meaningful connection in my life.

Strange Sally Diamond. Top Story - June 2025.
I picked up this book at the B&N’s Blind Date With a Book display. I loved the entire concept of selecting a mystery book based on a one-sentence teaser. Especially because they were lovingly wrapped by hand and the handwriting must have taken good effort (if they used the cursive it would have been even more attractive). As a public relations professional I think this marketing technique is brilliant, tapping into the book lovers’ serendipitous desire to be surprised with something new.

The Quiet Power of Books
I used to think I hated reading. Growing up in suburban Ohio, books were always something adults forced on me. Summer reading lists, mandatory book reports, and endless standardized tests turned reading into a chore. It wasn't a pleasure; it was punishment. I loved video games, I loved television, but books? Books were just ink on paper—boring, silent, and still.
