Sleep-Easy Investing: Your Stress-Free Guide to Financial Success, has been released by Viking Canada, which is part of the Penguin Group. It explains how to take the tension out of money management by approaching it from a different perspective.

"Over the years, I have come to believe that people tend to take too much risk in the pursuit of higher returns and end up damaging both their bank accounts and their health as a result," Gordon says in discussing the book's philosophy. "This book tells you how to avoid that trap, with specific examples of what to invest in and what to avoid."

Sleep-Easy Investing is now available in all bookstores. The suggested retail price is $26 (hard cover edition) but you can order it from our Best Books page at 37% off.
