I’ve once heard that one of the key differences between the wealthy and the poor is how often they read - the wealthy are always learning and one of the best ways to learn is by reading; in comparison, the poor think the end of schooling is the end of learning and would rarely read. According to CNBC - Those who read seven or more books per year are more than 122 percent more likely to be millionaires as opposed to those who never read or only read one to three books per year. Take one of the most wealthy men in the world, Bill Gates, who reads 50 books a year, or Warren Buffett, who spends as much as 80% of his day reading. Entrepreneur.com also has published this article stating that millionaires read for self-improvement, and 85 percent of self-made millionaires read two or more books per month.

In this episode, I am going to talk about the 5 books that changed my life, which are all in the self improvement category. These 5 books are:

1. How to Win Friends and Influence People 

2. The Law of Human Nature 

3. The Millionaire Next Door

4. The Simple Path to Wealth 

5. Rich Dad Poor Dad 

I wholeheartedly recommend all of them to you if you haven’t read them already. Of course there are many other great books out there, but if you want a place to start, try these first. They definitely changed my mindset and my life in a great way, and I hope they can have a similarly positive impact on you as well.
