In this bracing and urgently needed new book, she issues a call to action, demands that we "stand in our truth," and shows us how the landscape has changed and why a new approach is necessary. Suze points out both the pitfalls and opportunities of the current economic climate and sketches a path to security and control. "The New American Dream is not the things we accumulate", says Orman, "but the confidence that comes from knowing that which we've worked so hard for cannot be taken away from us."
