Uncle Eric Talks About Personal, Career, and Financial Security (An Uncle Eric Book),New

In this extensively revised and expanded second edition of 'Uncle Eric Talks About Personal, Career, and Financial Security', Uncle Eric introduces the concept of model. Models (or paradigms) are how people think; they are how we understand our world. Models help us recognize and use the information that is important and bypass that which is not. To achieve success in our careers, investments, and every other part of our lives, we need sound models. In this book, Mr. Maybury introduces the models he has found most useful (Economics and Higher Law). This is the first book in the Uncle Eric series and, while designed to stand alone, provides an excellent foundation for Maybury's other books.
