“Mi objetivo al escribir Padre Rico y Padre Pobre, así como los otros libros de la serie Padre Rico, fue responder a la pregunta: ¿Qué nos enseñaron en la escuela respecto al dinero?

Pero ¿para qué ahorrar dinero si los gobiernos están imprimiendo millones de dólares falsos?”

Fred Kofman's approach to leadership has little to do with the standard practices taught in business school and traditional books. Bringing together economics and business theroy, communications and conflict resolution, family counseling and mindfulness mediation, Kofman argues in The Meaning Revolution that our most deep-seated, unspoken and universal anxiety stems from our fear that our life is being wasted - that the end of life will overtake us when our song is still unsung. Material incentives - salary and benefits - account for perhaps 15% of employees' motivation at work.
