Looking to learn more about retirement investment? There is a free Kindle book that is worth checking out — Are You a Stock or a Bond?: Create Your Own Pension Plan for a Secure Financial Future. I have not had time to read this but have added to my collection of investment books I am working through. My goal is to read one motivational self help book and one investment book each week.

Are You a Stock or a Bond? Description

In an era when traditional corporate pensions are disappearing, Social Security’ s sustainability is in question, healthcare costs are skyrocketing, and society is dumping more and more financial risk squarely onto your shoulders, Moshe Milevsky helps you comprehensively integrate all the opportunities and risks in your life: your career risks, your portfolio risks, your housing risks, and even your personal inflation and longevity risks that could lead you to financial regret and a ruined retirement. Then, he introduces a powerful, new framework for thinking about and managing your financial future that you can use to systematically reduce your vulnerability to each of these risks and, thus, generate long-term financial security.

About the Author

I have been picking up a lot of self improvement books lately and this free Kindle book caught my eye. Know What You Don’t Know: How Great Leaders Prevent Problems Before They Happen deals with finding problems, before they become problems. As a part time business owner, part time student, full time employee and a mom I think this book will be a valuable read.

Solving problems is one thing; finding them early enough to do something about it is quite another. In this entertaining book full of insight and examples, Michael Roberto provides managers with hands-on recommendations on how to avoid falling into decision-making traps by getting a step ahead.

Last year was a great running year for me when I completed a half marathon, however I had a knee injury which has sidelined me for past 68 months. I am slowly on the path to running again so I was glad to download this Free Kindle Book – The Only Running Guide You’ll Ever Need: The Video Guide.

Product Description

Are you sure you want to become a runner but unsure where to start? Start by downloading “The Only Running Guide You’ll Ever Need: The Video Guide” – a Vook that blends informative and inspirational text and video instruction, leaving you ready to hit the treadmill, track, pavement or trail with total confidence!

This Vook serves as your interactive guide to becoming a runner, from mental preparation to training and beyond. In eight chapters, you’ll explore the many physical and mental benefits of running, and jump right into training for your first races. You’ll learn about proper stretching, nutrition, and hydration techniques, and how to cross-train on your “off” days and tackle speedwork to improve your times and increase your endurance. You’ll also learn about the shoes and gear you’ll need, how to address injury and safety, and strategies for getting motivated when you just don’t feel like it! Tips and quotes throughout provide added insight and inspiration from seasoned pros.

Looks like this is a limited area based on the following facebook post:

Today the Amazon Appstore for Android has SwiftKey X for free, today only. I just downloaded the app based on its great reviews.

SwiftKey X is a next-generation AI keyboard, now with unrivaled prediction and personalization.

SwiftKey X for smartphones builds on TouchType’s SwiftKey keyboard to offer cloud personalization, a new prediction engine, and a host of new UI improvements.

Using artificial intelligence breakthroughs, the SwiftKey X keyboard accurately predicts your most likely next word based on what you’ve already written. It can also scan your sent messages, and learn as you use it to make predictions even more accurately over time. The more you get to know your SwiftKey keyboard, the more it will get to know you.

SwiftKey X Keyboard distinguishes itself from the other Android keyboards because of its incredibly accurate next-word prediction. SwiftKey X has proven in tests that about one-third of next words are predicted accurately without even typing a single letter. It seems crazy to say that it reads your mind, but does it?

Amazon is featuring a free Kindle book that you should download and read. Smart Women Protect Their Assets: Essential Information for Every Woman About Wills, Trusts, and More.

Too many women still haven’t taken control of what will happen to their wealth and their assets. If you don’t plan, the government will decide who’ll act for you when you’re sick…who’ll manage your estate when you die…who’ll get everything you’ve worked for. Everyone needs to plan, but women face unique issues that are often ignored in “typical” discussions of estate planning. Smart Women Protect Their Assets offers the specific guidance women need to safeguard their futures and control where their assets will go. Leading estate planner Wynne A. Whitman offers smart, up-to-date, and easy-to-use advice for the scenarios millions of women will face. You’ll discover how to protect children of a previous marriage…give gifts the right way…do the easy planning that may save you nearly a million dollars…get the Living Will and Power of Attorney you simply must have…and a whole lot more. Written by a woman for women, this is a quick, focused, engaging, and practical book packed with simple checklists and “what-to-do-next” advice: information every woman can act on, right now.
