ATLANTA, July 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Operation HOPE CEO
John Hope Bryant's latest book,
FINANCIAL LITERACY FOR ALL, remains a strong national
bestseller three months after its release. The book has ignited a
national conversation on financial literacy across media, the
corporate suites, the halls of government, and within communities
across the U.S.
FINANCIAL LITERACY FOR ALL, now in its second printing
with publisher Wiley, debuted at #12 on the USA Today Bestselling Booklist. The list is
reported solely on book sales, with contributors including Amazon,
Barnes & Noble, Costco and Wal-Mart. It also debuted at #9 in
all categories In Publisher's Weekly and has consistently
been ranked #1 in multiple categories on Amazon, including
Economics, Business and Finance, and Digital Finance, and ranked in
the Top 200 for all books on Amazon.
In this new book, Mr. Bryant delivers a powerful resource for
everyday Americans seeking to build a stronger financial future.
Part call to action, part inspiration, FINANCIAL LITERACY FOR
ALL offers a roadmap to increase prosperity for individuals,
families, communities, and our nation from one of the world's
foremost experts.
In FINANCIAL LITERACY FOR ALL, Mr. Bryant issues a call
to action for individuals and public and private sector leaders to
help bring financial literacy education to young Americans and
working adults. To date, this has included:
- Inspiring Individual Action: Mr. Bryant has called for
individual citizens and organizations to join "A Campaign for
America", which invites individuals and organizations of every
stripe to join this movement for financial self-determination— what
Bryant calls "the civil rights issue of this generation."
Inspired by the book, a group of young students embarked on a
creative journey to bring the concept of financial freedom to life
through puppetry at The Make-Believe Village, an innovative
nonprofit arts program led by supportive role models and industry
professionals. The program is designed to blend creativity and life
skills while supporting young people in transforming their
communities through art. The outcome? A captivating 10-minute short
film created entirely by kids showcasing their skills. The
full-length video can be viewed HERE.
- Making the Case for Inclusion: Mr. Bryant published
"A Business Plan for America", released at the Milken Global
Conference, in May 2024 in
Los Angeles. In his plan, Mr.
Bryant states that embedding inclusion into the private sector is
not just something good to do, but an economic imperative if the
U.S. wishes to remain the world's superpower.
- Driving Conversation in the Halls of
Government: Mr. Bryant will engage in a series of public
conversations on the importance of financial literacy with some of
America's most prominent mayors and governors in a tour across the
U.S. that will be announced shortly. The tour will begin at the end
of July and run throughout 2024. Committed cities include
Atlanta, Memphis, Baltimore and Birmingham.
- Influencing Public Opinion: Mr. Bryant has been
featured across some of the nation's most influential media outlets
including CNBC's Squawk Box, CNBC's Last Call, The Breakfast Club,
Forbes, Rockefeller Capital Partners, and op-Eds in
TIME and CNBC.
The book is available through the Operation HOPE Store, with all
proceeds benefiting Operation HOPE. The book can also be
purchased at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Walmart.
