Mark Lazar’s Book ‘Pathway to Prosperity: Your Guide to Money & Economics a Winner at New York Book Festival
 

Salt Lake City, UT—Pathway to Prosperity: Your Guide to Money and Economics, by Certified Financial Planner Mark Lazar, is a winner in the Business category at the New York Book Festival. This follows on the heels of a 2021 International Impact Book Award.

JM Northern Media, which sponsors the New York Book Festival, is focused on media and the people who make it. Founded in 1999, they produce annual events and report on the people who are making things happen in the world of digital media and beyond. In addition to stand-alone productions, JM Northern Media has also co-sponsored educational events in conjunction with CMJ, 2NMC, MusicFest NW, Harvard Law and many other well-known institutions.

Pathway to Prosperity is an invaluable tool for navigating an uncertain post-pandemic world that is emerging in fits and starts. Uncertainty about a hot housing market, while the stock market soars and inflation creeps up, are enough to give anyone anxiety about the future. Everyday brings more distressing news; lumber prices soar high and then crash; new cars can't be sold because of a missing computer chip; cargo ships from Asia are stacked up on the West Coast because of a hobbled distribution system; office workers are quitting rather than return to the office; companies which temporarily shut down during height of the pandemic are unable to ramp up operations again.

Economic dislocation in the Land of Unintended Consequences is everywhere, and Pathway to Prosperity offers a road map through the morass and, hopefully, to the Promised Land.   

Having grown up in straightened circumstances, Lazar used the stress of childhood financial hardship to create the drive and know-how to create financial independence. He achieved his goals and thus created the type of freedom which ushers in the ability to choose options rather than make choices. A hard worker from his early teens, Mark Lazar never lets those memories get too far away and wrote Pathway to Prosperity to share the common sense principles, values, and strategies that led to his success.


Pathway to Prosperity Book Trailer


"This is the modern gold standard for anyone desiring an understanding of economics and investing from a man more than competent to give such advice." —Joe Green, Amazon Reviewer, 5-stars

"Lazar not only encourages the reader that change is possible, he also empowers change by showing the way forward and walking with the reader along it." —Jessica Tofino, Educator and Writer, 5-Stars


"The bad news is there is no magic formula or get-rich-quick scheme," states Lazar. "The good news, however, is that by building your wealth the right way—by understanding and incorporating sound financial principles into your everyday life and doing a handful of things a little better—over time you will become financially secure."

Lazar is passionate about helping others achieve financial independence. He draws from his own journey to prosperity and decades of experience in the finance industry to share a comprehensive financial literacy program that takes the mystery out of money.

  • What to consider when making important financial decisions, such as buying a home
  • The importance of thinking about and planning for retirement from the beginning of your career
  • How a solid grasp of economics allows you to make confident, well-informed financial decisions
