FUND YOUR DREAMS
DALY, MEAGHAN
Fund Your Dreams offers a new perspective on personal finance. It is a must-read for young people
starting out on their financial journey and people who have chosen the wrong financial path and need a
reset. The financial world has changed dramatically in the last twenty years, and yet personal finance
continues to be replete with the same outdated advice. Written a Bay Street Trader, this book helps
Canadians understand the new financial world we live in and all of the challenges it brings. We are now
required to make far more financial decisions in our daily lives than previous generations. Fund Your
Dreams will arm you with the knowledge to make more calculated and more responsible choices. The
book will help you understand concepts such as the difference between being poor and being broke;the
difference between what you can pay for and what you can afford; andthat going to Starbucks is not why
you can’t achieve your financial dreams. Fund Your Dreams is a comprehensive guide that will teach you
about the three fundamentals of your financial life—income, savings, and investing—and how they can
work together to help you achieve your dreams on your own terms.

FURIOUS COOL
HENRY, DAVID
No one who saw Richard Pryor alone on stage with nothing but a microphone in his hand could have
doubted that here was a man possessed of genius. But few have any sense of the strange, violent, and
colorful landscape from which he emerged. His childhood in Peoria, Illinois, was spent just trying to
survive. Yet the culture into which he was born—his mother was a prostitute; his grandmother ran the
whorehouse—helped shaped him into one of the most influential and outstanding performers of our time.
Pryor attracted admiration and anger in equal parts. He was a comedian who many consider the greatest
ever, yet his triumphant stand-up work has been largely eclipsed by his mediocre movie output. His
personal life was likewise something of a contradiction, because Pryor was a man of deep intelligence
and sensitivity yet was also someone who could never seem to make the pieces of his life come together
to create a whole. His was a fascinating, larger-than-life personality; he was as pivotal and essential a
figure as Bob Dylan, Miles Davis, or Muhammad Ali. Pryor the solo artist brought to a pop obsessed
generation the news that they had a past with deep roots that spoke to our shared humanity. Through
David and Joe Henry, Richard Pryor speaks to us still.
