  2. A Million Is Not Enough
    A Million Is Not Enough
    By Michael Farr
    The million-dollar question is this: do you have at least $1 million in liquid assets to support yourself during the 20+ years most of us can expect to live after we've stopped drawing a regular paycheck? And if not...how can you get started today to meet that goal?

    THE MILLION-DOLLAR MISSION outlines the steps readers need to take in order to meet this ambitious (but achievable) goal...no matter if they're 35, 45, or even 55. If you're in your 50s and still a long way from this target, you've got some work to do but you CAN make it happen. Whether you're getting a head start, starting on time, or playing catch-up, Michael Farr's plan presents a specific financial and investment plan to help Boomers reach this million-dollar goal and become safe and worry-free in their later years.

    With a foreword by bestselling author P.J. O'Rourke.... read more

    By Carol Fishman Cohen , Vivian Steir Rabin
    Returning to the workforce can be a daunting job for full-time moms.

    -Relaunch or not? You decide
    -Learn confidence
    -Assess your career options
    -Update your professional and job search skills, and prepare for the interview
    -Network, market yourself, and clinch the opportunity
    -Channel family support
    -Handle the job (or find another one)
    Cohen and Rabin also offer advice on maintaining the balance between work and home, and navigating the inevitable sticky situations with family and friends that arise when you return to work. This is a comprehensive, inspiring guide that is sure to become the classic resource in this field.

  16. Beyond Basketball
    Beyond Basketball
    By Mike Krzyzewski , Jamie Spatola
    The Duke University men's basketball team has served as the gold standard in college athletics for well over two decades - and that's all because of the extraordinary impact of Mike Krzyzewski, the highly-respected coach of the Duke squad.

    Coach K's reputation as a teacher of young men has transcended his extraordinary success as a coach. The Duke team is always ranked at the top of the college game, year in and year out, but what's truly remarkable about Coach K are his players and the legacy they leave behind: Grant Hill, Shane Battier, Elton Brand, Bobby Hurley, and on and on -- these are not just great basketball players, but individuals who have become true leaders in American society, all thanks in large part to Coach K's leadership.

    So how does Coach K do it? In this new book, he reveals his tips, advice, and time-tested guidance on how he coaches and educates his players about life beyond the basketball court.
