1. This book is a well written and easy to follow investment guide. It provides an overview of Mr. Westheimer's lengthy history as a stock broker, and gives sensible advice about investing geared toward the novice investor. I highly recommend this book for anyone new to investing, it provides some great advice for cautious "smart" investing. It's an easy read that won't dissapoint.

5 comments about Breaking all the Rules: How to Rent Your Vacation Home : An Innovative Rent by Owner Tool for Preparing, Managing, Advertising and Maintaining Your Rental & Welcome Book.

1. This book is not worth it. Although it does have gems like "provide clean linens" & "screen your renters"-who'd would have thunk it?



2. This book has really helped me. - TEN STARS
   
   I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It was written from personal experiences and I felt connected with the author. Marie Ferguson takes a different approach to renting vacation homes. She has a clear understanding of what your guests want and what they expect upon arrival and that they are willing to pay higher prices to get quality accommodations.
   
   This book is right to the point and answered all of my questions. It is also helpful to know that Marie Ferguson is available to answer questions as they appear. I have never heard of any author being available 24/7. She has great insight for creating property listings that really work and she is willing to help you with yours to give it that personal touch.
   
   I also received the Welcome Book (that no other author has provided) and a free property listing. The Welcome Book comes with Sample Rental Rules, Pet Rules, Beach Rules, Pool Rules, etc that can be easily changed to fit your rental needs. I had fun customizing it and my Guests love the fact that I provide all the information needed to make their stay more enjoyable.
   
   I particularly like the lists it provides for stocking my rental (things I didn't think of ) and it provides samples of rental agreements and correspondences to renters. It certainly makes it easy for me to run a rental business by using the system in this book. By following the easy, step by step instructions, I have had good luck with my renters. Like anything, if you are consistent with what you are doing, chances are better that you will succeed in having a great business. I am having a great time with my rental home. With this system, I am able to use it when I want (easily) and rent it out during the times I am not there. I am planning on buying more properties while the prices are affordable.
   
   I also bought Marie Ferguson's latest book, The Complete Vacation Rental Planner and Tax Organizer. What a handy book to own. All of my rental information can be found in one place and I like the tax section that shows the deductions that I can take.

   I bought this book and let me say my first year of renting was a huge success and It was easy !
   This book takes you from start to finish! Easy Read and Easy to follow samples of contracts etc.
   Thank you Marie for writing it! It has made my life alot simpler with renting!



4. Marie Ferguson's book was a great help, and gave me lots of ideas on renting my villa in Florida. I also purchased her Vacation Rental Organizer. It's nice to have all my information on my villa in one place.



5. I have read nearly every book out there on Vacation Rentals, and I found this one to be very straight forward ad easy reading. I have been in the business for 10 years, so most of this information is excellent particularly if you are new in the buisness.
   
   I had a bit of a problem trying to retrieve my "free guest book" from the author's website, and as soon as she was aware of this, she contacted me directly and help me achieve my goal immediately.
   
   I have listed my vacation rental on the author's site and will look forward to taking any bookings that come in as a result of this completely free advertising.
   
   After communicating with Marie, I can see why she is successful, she is a great "problem solver" Way to go, Marie!

1. This book contains tons of information made clear for anyone from the first time Real Estate investor to the the most savy. Obviously the author knows his stuff. My husband and I were looking to find a small property to buy as a second home in the mountains and this was the how to book for us. And he works for Weichert Realtors too!

5 comments about The Tao Jones Averages: A Guide to Whole-Brained Investing.

1. As a 25 year veteran professional I have read exhaustively on the topic of investing. This simple little book is perhaps the best book I have ever read about the mindset required to succeed as an investor. I keep coming back to it over the years and it is at the top of my recommendation list to customers if they can get hold of it. I am not surprised I can't find any other books by Bennet Goodspeed, he's probably too wealthy to bother.



2. As someone who has been a floor trader on Wall Street and has also studied zen for close to 20 years, including a stint living in a zen monastery, I found the book to be very misleading. Although the author starts out drawing comparisons between Eastern mysticism and investing, and makes a couple of valuable insights, he then succumbs to the critical error of equating the mystical experience to right-brain functioning as understood by Western brain hemisphere research. I can personally attest to the fact that the profound universal mystical experience that can only be achieved through great practice and discipline has nothing to do with "right-brain" functioning.

   After making this flawed connection, the author then digresses by focusing solely on split-brain functioning in regard to investing for the remainder of the book. Consequently, the book ultimately becomes an example of Western scientific arrogance attempting to explain a profound system of knowledge that is thousands of years old and completely inexplicable to the "rational" world view.




3. I picked up and reread Goodspeed's introduction to a subject greatly overlooked in our 'western culture'.It was the first time since I purchased and read it in the early 1980s. At the time I was a floor trader at an options exchange.The message within its pages has relevance and remains useful so many years later.The engaging manner he employs to help a reader weigh the merits of two vastly different areas of thought could easily have bogged down and thus lost meaning with Goodspeed's select readership.



4. I found this book incidentally and immediately got intrigued. The riddles Goodspeed describes really got me thinking...why are we thinking mostly with the left side of the brain?
   
   Highly recommended, enjoyable and funny

5. This book was a great little read about how to invest with both your left logical brain and your right intuitive brain.It explained how destructive thinking with only half of our brain capacity is. Logically we just follow the herd and miss major trends developing below the surface.When we are to intuitive we simply invest in what we "like" with little consideration for value and current market conditions. This book shows how to use intuition and logic in a balanced manner for great investing results. I recommend this book because it could be a major missing piece to some investors success.(I also enjoyed the first 100 pages about Taoism, it is a wonderful philosophy about balance).
