Book #1.) Rich Dad Poor Dad
Rich Dad Poor Dad is a 1997 book written by Robert T. Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter. It advocates the importance of financial literacy, financial independence and building wealth through investing in assets, real estate investing, starting and owning businesses, as well as increasing one’s financial intelligence. Kiyosaki and Lechter write, “The single most powerful asset we all have is our mind. If it is trained well, it can create enormous wealth.”
Most importantly, as we always say at Amida, wealth is a mindset.
#2.) Think And Grow Rich
Think and Grow Rich is a book written by Napoleon Hill in 1937 and promoted as a personal development and self-improvement book. He claimed to be inspired by a suggestion from business magnate and later-philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. Napoleon Hill writes, “If you do not see great riches in your imagination, you will never see them in your bank balance.” Most importantly, Napoleon Hill believed that anyone can become rich. So consequently, you ought to stop thinking of wealth as tied purely to money or reputation.
#3.) You Are A Badass At Making Money
You Are a Badass at Making Money will launch you past the fears and stumbling blocks that have kept financial success beyond your reach. Drawing on her own transformation—over just a few years—from a woman living in a converted garage with tumbleweeds blowing through her bank account to a woman who travels the world in style, Jen Sincero channels the inimitable sass and practicality that made You Are a Badass an indomitable bestseller. She combines hilarious personal essays with bite-size, aha concepts that unlock earning potential and get real results. Jen Sincero writes, “RICH: Able to afford all the things and experiences required to fully experience your most authentic life.” To sum up, wealth is not just one thing.
#4.) The Soul Of Money Book
His liberating book shows us that examining our attitudes toward money―earning it, spending it, and giving it away―offers surprising insight into our lives. Through personal stories and practical advice, Lynne Twist asks us to discover our relationship with money, understand how we use it, and by assessing our core human values, align our relationship with it to our desired goals. In other words, how we can transform our lives.
The Soul of Money now includes a foreword from Jack Canfield and a new introduction by Lynne Twist, in which she explores the effects of the Great Recession and environmental concerns about our monetary needs and aims. Lynne Twist writes, “In our relationship with money, more is better distracts us from living more mindfully and richly with what we have.” That is to say, there is great power in gratitude.
#5.) The Psychology of Money
Money―investing, personal finance, and business decisions―is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together.
In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important topics.
Nemeth writes, “Use money to gain control over your time.” In short, The ability to do what you want, when you want, with who you want, for as long as you want to, is the ultimate wealth!
