In this article I am going to compile a a list of books that have influenced my financial well-being in an incredible way. All of these books will help you learn about: investing, money management, personal finance and wealth building. I cannot recommend these books enough, they have truly made a massive impact on my finances, wealth building, and my money mindset. Without further ado let’s get to the list!
- “The Millionaire Next Door” In this book Stanley and Danko discuss and analyze the habits and lifestyles of millionaires. Although most people believe millionaires live extravagant lifestyles, this book debunks that myth and shows that millionaires live in a similar fashion to average people, and yet completely different at the same time. The book breaks down the traits of millionaires into 7 main topics:
- 1. They live well below their means.
- They allocate their time, energy, and money efficiently, in ways conducive to building wealth.
- They believe that financial independence is more important than displaying high social status.
- Their parents did not provide economic support.
- Their adult children are economically self-sufficient.
- They are proficient in targeting market opportunities.
- They chose the right occupation.
The book dives into these topics in extreme details to show that Millionaires could be hiding in plain-site all around you, and if you follow the principles outlined in the book you will become millionaire too.
2. ” The 10X Rule” This amazing by Grant Cardone discusses how to become successful, and why it is your obligation to become successful. The 10X Rule says that 1) you should set targets for yourself that are 10X greater than what you believe you can achieve and 2) you should take actions that are 10X greater than what you believe are necessary to achieve your goals. The biggest mistake most people make in life is not setting goals high enough. Taking massive action is the only way to fulfill your true potential. Although this may seem like an insane strategy for setting goals the book explains why it is important to set your goals high. This book is perfect for anyone wanting to become successful in any area of their life, wether it’s personal finance, Realestate, building a business empire, or having a happy marriage.
3. ” The Intelligent Investor” by Benjamin Graham is a stock investors dream. Warren Buffet called this book the “by far the best book ever written on investing” This book teaches how to analyze, buy, research, and build wealth in the stock market. Benjamin Graham “The father of value investing” is an incredible teacher and mentor, clearly since he was Warren Buffet’s teacher and coach. Anyone will who reads this book will receive extraordinary value and knowledge. “The Intelligent Investor” will teach beginner investors and those who are more advanced, to build wealth in the market safely and efficiently. This book has completely changed how I do my stock investing is a must read for anyone who owns even a single share of stock.
4. “How to Win Friends & Influence People” by Dale Carnegie. Carnegie is one of the most influential people who has ever lived, and he credited the vast majority of his success to the principals he teaches in this book. In this book Carnegie instructs the reader and teaches them to be a master networker, and be loved by everyone. The book discusses many principles to deal with people and come to agreements that suit your needs and solve problems. The art of relationships and Human interaction is an incredibly important skill to master. After all, the two largest leverages in life are other people’s money and other people.
That is my list of books that everyone who wants to be successful, in any area of their life should read. These books do not simply teach you processes, principals, and skills to help you achieve great things, they also instill a drive that will motivate you to accomplish everything you are capable of.

If you’re going to mention the best business books, you must include “The End of Marketing: Humanizing Your Brand in the Age of Social Media and AI” by Carlos Gil.
Social networks are the new norm, and traditional marketing is failing in today’s digital, always-on culture. Businesses across the world have to face up to how they remain relevant in the choppy waters of the digital ocean. In an era where a YouTube star gets more daily impressions than Nike, Coca-Cola, and Walmart combined, traditional marketing as we know it is dead.
The End of Marketing revolutionizes the way brands, agencies, and marketers should approach marketing. From how Donald Trump won the American presidency using social media and why Kim Kardashian is one of the world’s biggest online brands, through to the impact of bots and automation, this book will teach you about new features and emerging platforms that will engage customers and employees. Discover bold content ideas, hear from some of the world’s largest brands and content creators, and find out how to build smarter paid-strategies, guaranteed to help you dominate your markets.
The End of Marketing explains that no matter how easy it is to reach potential customers, the critical relationship between brand and consumer still needs the human touch. Learn how to put ‘social’ back into social media and claim brand relevancy in a world where algorithms dominate, organic reach is dwindling, and consumers don’t want to be sold to; they want to be engaged.

I’ve loved and grown through all of these books except for Grant Cardone’s 10X, which I have in the pipeline to read. The Millionaire Next Door is the first book on personal finance/business I ever read and it started a journey that led me to start investing at age 19 (and to start my own blog in 2020. I admire your work. The future is bright and the content here is excellent. I can tell you’re going to make a big impact in some way, somehow. Money is a great conduit for that. I will make two recommendations worth noting – The Little Book on Common Sense Investing by John Bogle and A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton G. Malkiel. I have read and studied both of these works and they’ve furthered my financial education tremendously. Keep up the great stuff!
