most books on finance are quite literally just jewish scams. Getting rich in the modern world is like finding a hidden duping exploit in a video game. You have to find a method that's not widely known/used and you have to bank off that. Crypto is like an exploit in the system in a sense, maybe 10k people in the world know about chainlink and maybe only a million actually invest in BTC.

>>19487095
>friends are a commodity to be won

disgusting

>>19487361
Agreed

That book is garbage

A big part of getting rich I've found so far is restrictions. Like a 50k asset requirement for margin accounts so that you can trade options. Now I meet that requirement, but I didn't when I started so I lied. I also lied about yearly income to get better credit card offers.

THE ART OF THE DEAL BY DONALD J TRUMP

The Intelligent Investor
A Random Walk Down Wall Street
Winning the Loser's Game

There now you know more than 99% of people about finances. Of course someone could tell it to you in about 15 seconds but if you don't read it then you'll be too retarded to get it.

This is pretty good for people who don't know what they want to do.

That's old and outdated. It should be replaced with Never Split the Difference.

>>19487361
>>19487407
the book is more about how to get what you want, not winning friends. its good in small amounts and some of the advice has aged pretty bad and some is just infuriating. No one wants to make every conversation about someone else, i cant tell you how much i loathe having to turn this on and pretend to care about someones kids or dogs in order to pretend i care about them and they think of me as a friends.
art of seduction is pretty good, any book that teaches you body language and how NOT to apologize is what you need to read.

>>19487733
That seems really good

>>19487996
Art of seduction is good but 48 laws of power is better and covers more applicable wisdom

>>19487095

I did read dale carnegie.
I can approve his advices but if one keeps on doing what he says he'll end up getting used for others usage.
And also in these you learn that friends are garbage and useless.
Only time affording and money consuming.

If you are a dickhead boss, this book will help you seeing other wagies perspective. But if your a normal wagie and read this book you'll better not overextend those adivices , because people will get jealous on you and your human environment and will start shit talking about you.

>>19488192

sorry i meant (And also in ""these times"" you learn that friends are garbage...)

>>19488192
Dale Carnegie doesnt teach you how to grow a backbone, I dont know if the core tenants of his book still work within outrage culture. Yeah figuring out how to get what you want by giving someone else what they want is a pretty based idea. but at some point you have to be assertive and push back on the shaniquas of the world. and this book doesnt teach that

>rich dad poor dad
>the art of the deal
>richest man in babylon
>money: master the game

If there was a book on how to write a book like these then that would be the one.

Most people can figure shit out by themselves given enough time and troubleshooting but its just so much easier to sit on your ass and read a book that makes you think you are moving forward instead if hitting setback 1, 2, 3...

>>19487095

is the same but for comms soft skills

I figured out comms just by talking and embarrassing myself a LOT till I worked out how not to. Very uncomfy but worth.

So yeah either write some mad convincing "how to be rich" book OR revv up the smash-head-into-bricks engine and make it on your own terms

>>19488423

Also definitely want to point out: these books have value too.

It's just that they can usually be summarised pretty effectively in a couple of pages.

>>19487095

>>19487095
That Carnegie book is a fag normie fucking meme and piece of shit. Read it 20 years ago totally useless

>It's just that they can usually be summarised pretty effectively in a couple of pages.

God I hate this meme. People are so addicted to social media that they think any message longer than five sentences is not worth reading: "just give me the tl;dr".

Nuances, examples, backgrounds and contexts can, in fact, not be summarized effectively in a couple of pages. I don't know if you had the attention span to read this far but in case you did, I have some bad news for you: people actually reading books instead of summaries will continue to be more succesful and knowledgeable than you.

I recommend Never Split the Difference for learning to be more assertive.
>>19487967

I'm already fairly assertive compared to a lot of normies (despite being an introvert autist at heart who counts down every second I have to spend around other people) but that book helped me see where I could have done better in past negotiations and improved my future ones.

You know what's better than books? audiobooks.
I listen to them when driving or riding my bike, walking in the forest, before sleeping. The cognitive charge is reduced 10 folds

I'll start with those that I've listened to since January when I discovered http://audiobookbay.nl/ and other places to download audiobooks.

_The outliers
_Deep work
_The hard things about hard things
_Start with why
_Lean startup
_Atomic Habits
_48 laws of power (for the psychos)
_So good they can't ignore you
_The 100$ startup
_Blue ocean strategy (could be summarized in 10 lines)
_Thinking, fast and slow
_The E-myth
_Zero to one
_Never split the difference
_Shoe dog
_The subtle art of not giving a fuck


On the marketing part, Seth Godin is the author you want to listen to: Purple cow, This is marketing

From Donald miller, building a story brand


If I had to pick three of them from this list: Deep work, the outliers, the E-myth revisited

>>19489313
Audiobooks are for faggots. By the time it takes to listen to one you could finish a book and have plenty of time to spare. Learn to read dummy.

>>19489419
>I listen to them when driving or riding my bike, walking in the forest, before sleeping. The cognitive charge is reduced 10 folds

>By the time it takes to listen to one you could finish a book and have plenty of time to spare
For me it's the opposite
Plus, I'm optimizing my time by listening and retaining information from audiobooks while doing something relaxing/productive in the meantime which is not possible when reading

>>19490309
Those books you listed 'on hold' are available on Library Genesis BTW

>>19490406
Good reading comprehension sport. To imply only 10k people know about chainlink is ridiculous. I'd expect /biz/ to be more than 10k unique visitors alone, so that covers it already. Not sure what wallet sizes have to do with anything.

>self help book
Funny how like 99% find their success not by applying their supreme knowledge of whatever they preach, but by selling vague common sense points books to low IQ idiots.

Are there any books that are mandatory reading? Preferably less than 10

Thinking fast and slow
Antifragile
Quantitive finance for dummies
Laws of human nature
The richest man in Babylon

>>19491657
I would go for maximum achievement first. that one was in my opinion nr1 self help book. And probably the only one you need. for self help.

Reading is for FAGS

If you are interested in persuasion and marketing "Influence" by Robert Cialdini is a good book to get started on it.

It has been recommended to me by two successful copywriters both of whom earn north of six figures.

>>19487795
>>19487854
>>19490309

These next two aren't book recommendations, but concepts. They are probably the most important keys to my investments.
>Thorp and Kelly's the 'Kelly criterion'
>Taleb's 'antifragile'

Though I would recommend to read everything ever written by Taleb.

A fun read which introduces Kelly criterion is 'Fortune's Formula'. Though if you want to learn the real maths and application you have to dump 'EO Thorp' into google scholar.

48 Laws of Power is an incredibly useful book in the business world. It isn't that you will follow the laws, it is more based on the fact that others will use the laws to their advantage.

I wanted to read it years ago but I pussed out. I did read some other Mises book though and also "For a New Liberty" from Rothbard, best thing I ever did after pic related.
