Sound, simple, and easy-to-implement financial advice is hard to come by. Much of the guidance offered to people seeking help with personal and household finance is needlessly complicated, involves high-risk and speculative strategies, or is designed to advance the interests of a variety of advisors, brokers, and planners. In Financial Literacy For All: Disrupting Struggle, Advancing Financial Freedom, and Building a New American Middle Class accomplished philanthropist and social entrepreneur John Hope Bryant delivers an easy-to-follow and powerful new resource for everyday Americans trying to build a strong financial foundation. In the book, you'll find an accessible first step to creating a secure and prosperous future for you and your family, regardless of your educational or employment background. You'll establish a financial mindset that contributes to success and wealth, rather than debt and struggle, and that helps you to answer tough money questions you'll encounter every day. The author issues a call to action for public and private sector leaders to help bring financial literacy education to young Americans and working adults, while outlining a plan that invites individuals and organizations of every stripe to join this movement for financial self-determination. Financial Literacy For All is a critical pillar for anyone seeking to build a rock-solid base for their current and future financial decision-making. It's a must-read book for working professionals, blue-collar workers, members of young and growing families, and established businesspeople striving for a better, more secure future for themselves and their families. It will also prove to be invaluable for anyone helping to lift others out of poverty as well as those advising clients on personal finance.

American opportunity is not dead. Bestselling author and entrepreneur John Hope Bryant outlines the mindset and practices that will allow us to achieve the American Dream, no matter what our current circumstances are.Facing a challenging economy, too many Americans despair of improving their lives. But John Hope Bryant insists that America is still the Land of Opportunity. Up from Nothing revives the forgotten story of the American Dream. It's about our beginnings as a nation of go-getters who believed they were winners before they won.Using the inspiring story of his own rise from humble beginnings, and that of his parents and grandparents, Bryant shows how individually we can change our mindset from survivor to thriver to winner and move beyond just getting by or being financially independent to becoming wildly successful. Collectively, we need to become a nation of winners once again.By ensuring that every stakeholder in America has access to the Five Pillars of Success-massive education, financial literacy, strong family structure, self-esteem, and supportive role models-Bryant shows how we can fulfill the promise of America's greatness. But to do so, we must turn away from distractions-such as political in-fighting or racial and class divisions-and focus on what we can control. This is not a book of tips on how to get a better job or make more money. It's about adopting a new way of thinking that will do all that for us and more. Up from Nothing is the new (old) business plan to keep us winning as a country.

True power in this world comes from economic independence, but too many people have too much month left at the end of their money. John Hope Bryant, founder and CEO of Operation HOPE, illuminates the path toward liberation that is hiding in plain sight. His message is simple: the supermajority of people who live in poverty, whom Bryant calls the invisible class, as well as millions in the struggling middle class, haven't gotten ';the memo'until now. Building on his personal experience of rising up from economically disadvantaged circumstances and his work with Operation HOPE, Bryant teaches readers five rules that lay the foundation for achieving financial freedom. He emphasizes the inseparable connection between ';inner capital' (mindset, relationships, knowledge, and spirit) and ';outer capital' (financial wealth and property). ';If you have inner capital,' Bryant writes, ';you can never be truly poor. If you lack inner capital, all the money in the world cannot set you free.' Bryant gives readers tools for empowerment by covering everything from achieving basic financial literacy to investing in positive relationships and approaching wealth with a completely new attitude. He makes this bold and controversial claim: ';Once you have satisfied your basic sustenance needsfood, water, health, and a roof over your headpoverty has more to do with your head than your wallet.' Bryant wants to restore readers' ';silver rights,' giving them the ability to succeed and prosper no matter what very real roadblocks society puts in their way. We have more power than we realize, if only we can recognize and claim it. ';We are our first capital,' Bryant writes. ';We are the CEOs of our own lives.'

John Hope Bryant, successful self - made businessman and founder of the nonprofit Operation HOPE, says business and political leaders are ignoring the one force that could truly re - energize the stalled American economy: the poor. If we give poor communities the right tools, policies, and inspiration, he argues, they will be able to lift themselves up into the middle class and become a new generation of customers and entrepreneurs.
