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.
