One book, may tell you how to earn more money, another may tell you how to save or spend it, and another may explain how to give your money away.
Many How-to books give advice on careers. They tell you how to choose a career and how to succeed in it. If you fail, however, you can buy the book “ How to Turn Failure into Success”.
