I've glanced at the Tipping Point. Didn't see much there. But the Rich Dad series has *tons* of useful information for everyone from beginner to advanced. Here are my favorites along that line, (no order of preference):

1. "Rich Dad's Guide to Investing"

2. "Rich Dad's Guide to Money, Business, and Investing" (tape series from Nightingale. Might also be available on the richdad.com website.)

3. "You Can Choose to Be Rich" (tape series from Time-Warner but also available on the richdad.com website) This package contains 12 audio tapes, 200+ pages of written material, a bonus video tape, a bonus audio tape, and a bonus interest calculator.

4. "Loopholes of the Rich" by Diane Kennedy, CPA. She is RK's tax strategist. This book is available from the richdad.com website.

If I had to choose from those 4, I would first choose "You Can Choose to Be Rich" followed closely by "Loopholes of the Rich." There is some real meat in both of those products. Even if you're familiar with the basic Rich Dad concepts, those two tools actually show you how to start putting the concepts into action in your business and personal life. I have all 4 of the items I listed in my personal library. There are other books by the Rich Dad advisors as well. I haven't read them yet so I can't recommend them yet. But I can heartily recommend those I listed.

Joe writes great stuff. I started reading "Spiritual Marketing" and have yet to get back to it. If you like Joe's writing, a course he did for Nightingale might interest you. It's called "Outrageous Marketing." It's contains 12 audios and some written material. Good stuff.

Yes. I have this one too.

And since you asked, probably my all time favorite for ad-writing is "How to Write a Good Advertisement" by Victor Schwab. (Yup. Got it too.) There are tons of others but that one's at the top of my A list.

I confess! I'm an infomation junkie!!! *g*
