Rich Dad, Poor Dad

It is a SHORT, easy-reading financial book that helps us at least consider a few financial mentalities that could help us. It is a worthwhile read. Robert was raised with two different father figures, one that thought "poor" and had "poor" financial strategies. The other thought "rich", not just positive thinking, but smart. He brings out the point that sometimes we teach ourselves to think and act "poor" and therefore keep ourselves that way.

Undaunted Courage

Written by Stephen Ambrose, is a 1996 biography of Meriwether Lewis and the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The book is based on journals written by Lewis and Clark, along with others in the expedition, and also offers additional insight into the travelers and their thoughts. The book outlines the expedition in great detail, from encounters with Native Americans, trading, wildlife, what the explorers ate, and the route the expedition took. The text is supplemented by maps, and illustrations drawn by Lewis himself. Brief biographies of the major members of the expedition (Lewis, ClarkSacagawea, etc.) are also offered.
