If we examine our problems, we will see that these problems are really the symptoms of our difficulties, not the cause. In fact, the cause of our problems, in each case, is not the symptoms but our biology-our basic instincts. If we look at our history we can see how dramatically our environment has changed over the past twenty thousand years. On the other hand, our instincts evolved over twenty million years ago. Our instincts consist of sensual instincts, motor instincts and reproductive instincts. We adapt to our motor (external) instincts relatively easily through logical knowledge. We adapt to our sensual (internal) instincts through emotional knowledge. On the other hand, it is more difficult to adapt to our reproductive instincts. The fundamental principle in the U. S. is to allow choice (such as we have done with cigarettes) and to use education and positive and negative reinforcement to encourage responsible choice. Sex is a personal choice. Reproduction is a social choice as well. If parents do not provide for their children society must bear the cost. As a child, a parent or a grandparent, we have all had experiences with parenting. It is our responsiblity to the next generation that we use our knowledge of responsible parenting to reduce irresponsible parenting in the future.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51189112242449,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51189114503441,"sku":"NIN9780990820925","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53521145102609,"sku":"NLS9780990820925","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0990820920.jpg?v=1750852054"},{"product_id":"how-to-buy-bonds-book-walter-s-foster-9781590959725","title":"How to Buy Bonds","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Buy Bonds by Jack Foster\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book includes a half-hour of complimentary investment advice from the author.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book shares with the unsophisticated investor criteria on how to evaluate bonds. The analysis is based on proper portfolio diversification and preservation of capital.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe greatest weakness of investors is that they panic in recessions and times of financial stress. As a result, they buy high and sell low. At the very time when investors should be increasing risk they have historically reduced it. And, at the very time when investors should be decreasing risk they have historically increased it. Studies have shown that the result is that market prices are about three times more volatile than they should be if one just evaluated the fundamentals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second greatest weakness of investors is that they pay high fees and buy and sell too often. Fees, commissions and spreads between the bid and ask price of stocks and bonds result in enormous drains on returns. Whether a stock or a bond fund, the normal fees for a small investor is 1% of assets and normal trading commissions are .5% of assets. Therefore, the total cost for an investment advisor is usually around 1.5%. \u003cstrong\u003eAlthough the 1.5% may seem small relative to your total assets, it is 25% of your expected total annual return of about 6%.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe question is how to protect oneself from economic cycles and from one's own fears and ignorance. The answer is through a well understood principled and disciplined investment strategy. The objective of this book is to clarify an investment strategy for a mature investor with $100,000 to $2,000,000 to invest and the need to live off that investment. The objective of this book will be to recommend an investment strategy that requires that you only look at your investment portfolio once a year and make only one mathematical calculation to see if you need to adjust your monthly distributions from your investment portfolio. Another objective of this book is to recommend an investment strategy that forces you to sell high and buy low and reduce fees and trading commissions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52486453035281,"sku":"NLS9781590959725","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52751602581777,"sku":"NIN9781590959725","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781590959725.jpg?v=1759859275"},{"product_id":"purpose-of-all-activity-a-scientific-theory-of-human-behavior-book-walter-s-foster-9781648832666","title":"The Purpose of All Activity A Scientific Theory of Human Behavior","description":"Cosa dobbiamo imparare dal Rapporto Brodeck, il romanzo sulla memoria della letteratura francese contemporanea?
