Amongst the infinite library of writings on wealth lie some genuine treasures. Books that will shape your financial life story, make you rethink the world we live in, or just articulate concepts about finance you sort of knew but didn’t have the words for. I have a selection of those such books today. I have tried to focus on books you are unlikely to have heard of or read.

Reading Material World by Ed Conway now, its very interesting and good. Thank you
For me the richest man in babylon is the best one I’ve read to date.
Damien, I'm just here to say I've bought some of the books mentioned on the weekend and really looked forward to starting. I decided on The Richest Man in Babylon because it peaked my interest and is pretty small. I'm 2/3 the way through and I'm loving it. Absolutely amazing cross between stories and lessons. Thank you.
I agree, I've read over 300 business books in the last few years… most have something… I have since written the book i would have needed which touches on the beliefs and the metrics behind them which stop us taking the a turn we know we logic says we should take. I would love for you to review it if it's something your interested in. Let me know
Book!

Where do you get your t shirts from brother?
I started with $5k just last week and now I've hit $17,590. I was having this exact conversation with my son the other night—generational wealth isn't just about getting money. It's about teaching everyone not only how to make it, but also how to maintain it. It does no good for me to provide for my family if they dont understand how to manage and sustain it. That's why I really love this video.
No selling, 100% honest reflections—-No rooms left to dislike it 🎉subscribed
Damien, I am not young…🤔🙄😭😭
who knew 500 books are published every year lol
this is super helpful for beginners 🙌
makes it less overwhelming for sure
def gonna check these out, thanks

📙📖📔📕📗📙📓📓📑 like a lottery ticket I put in multiple books to increase an odds of getting one.
I used to read a lot of finance books but that’s switched now to podcasts and YouTube content. The personal perspective makes it much more interesting. Thanks Damien!
What is more interesting is the story of Robert Kiyosaki behind the scenes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2fHbbOmu_o
Thanks Damien, another great video 😊
The simple path to wealth by J L Collins. easy to read and to understand
