I just finished Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. That was a phenomenal book. I want to compile a list of 25-30 books to read over the next year.

I've also already read Rich Dad Poor Dad and the Richest Man in Babylon.

>> No.3603540

The author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad is a typical self-help guru bullshit artist who made most of his money slinging his books/courses/etc. He's 100% marketing and snake oil. This is not a /biz/ book.

He made money selling things? How ridiculous! (peddles shit e-coins)

>>3603554
you're an idiot and not proving anything with these inane comments

if you want a blueprint for slinging self-help bullshit, analyze the book from that perspective. Otherwise fuck off

The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham is the best book I've read so far...

>> No.3603631

Rich Dad Poor Dad Sucks he doesn't make his money from what he peddles on the book. His money comes from selling those books.


Mj Demarcos "the fastlane millionaire" is the best

>> No.3603642

The Millionaire Fastlane by MJ Demarco is a great book with a horrific title. It actually explains how to get wealth through a business, what makes a business work or not, and calls out "gurus" and normies (not his wording, but describes them perfectly). And he actually got rich from the way he describes in the book. Even if you don't act on it, it is quite entertaining.

I recently entered (not knowing it being so in the first place) a highly competitive environment. Lots of backstabbing, lots of plotting, lots of work pressure from on top, long working hours, multiple ethnicity, some in groups, some solitary, varying levels on intelligence, some violence, some outbursts...but nice pay, and potential nice future opportunities.

But how does one prepare for such a place, mentally that is? Most other workplaces that I have been at were neutral and only demanded work/dedication. I wish to know how to become the crypto white jew.

should I read something like sun tzu? The prince lol?

He wrote the book after he was rich. And the advice is good. I wouldn't sign up for one of his seminars, but the book is worth reading, as is Cashflow Quadrant
