282 Simple Ways to Face the Financial Crisis is a self-help guide aimed towards everyday people living normal lives. The author has specifically tailored the book to focus in on three primary areas; reducing expenses, increasing income and finally, safeguarding of existing property. In doing so, the 282 approaches contained within are understandable, relevant and also achievable for everyone. Unlike may other self-help 'economic crisis' guides, the author Thalis P. Coutoupis states clearly from the outset that its contents are not based on philosophy, market analysis or magical solutions, but instead focus on positive, results-driven actions which are rooted in the world of common sense. To ensure the reader can easily access the relevant chapters, there is an in-depth and comprehensive contents area at the outset, which means the reader doesn't have to read the book in its entirety before making use of the strategies. "I am not a politician, I am not a financier, I just have common sense. Whilst I can't change the economic situation we find ourselves in, through this book I can help everyday people realize the things they can do to better cope with it" - Thalis P. Coutoupis
