Lately, I became obsessed with the topic of money. I really wanted to understand how it works, and how to get rich.

I was super excited to learn more and more about the topic so I decided to dig into it and start reading the best books out there about becoming rich.

I have read most of the recommended books on the topic. Some were helpful, some were not that great.

​Anyways, after reading and checking out the authors of these books, I have curated the best of the best books that I found really helpful. Here’s the list of the best books out there :

​1. Secrets of The Millionaire Mind

This is an excellent book ! I totally loved it ! In this book, the author T. Harv Eker shows you 17 different ways the rich people think differently about money.

This book will show you why some people are rich and others are not : it’s because of the way they think. It will teach you how the rich people think about money in a certain way that makes them way more capable of making it.

For example, you’ll notice that you might be thinking that money is the root of all evil or that all rich people are greedy and corrupt. These ideas will turn into self-limiting beliefs that will stop you from becoming rich.

You’ll be surprised about how many self-limiting beliefs about money you have. Knowing what wrong ideas you have about money will make it much easier to shift your thinking and start thinking like rich people do.

This book is a must-read.

2. How Rich People Think

Very similar to the #1 one on this list except that it’s more detailed in more digestible. This book is divided into 100 chapters that show you 100 differences between how a millionaire thinks and how the poor and middle class thinks about money.

The author is Steve Siebold who’s a millionaire. He interviewed 1200 of the wealthiest people over 30 years to come up with this book.

How rich people think will definitely change the way you think about money. It’s an easy read, but will really have a profound effect on the way you think about money.

The bottom line is : It will teach you how to think like rich people (and it’s written by a millionaire)

​3. The Millionaire Fastlane

​This one gives you the basic mindset and strategy to start your own business. This book focuses on just one way to become wealthy : creating your own business.

It teaches you how to start thinking like an entrepreneur and gives you the basic mindset to start your own business. He also tells you his own story behind creating a booking site (limos.com) that he sold and that’s how he made some good money off of it.

Demarco also talks about creating passive income so that you’re not always tied to your business.
Overall, this is one of the best and most straight forward books about becoming rich. It will make you think like a business owner instead of an employee.

​4. Rich Dad Poor Dad

This is the first book I’ve ever read on the topic and it’s easily on of the most popular ones. When I started to look for the best books about money, Rich Dad Poor Dad always came up.
The book tells the story of Kiyosaki when he was young. He has two dads. His own dad who had a Phd but who was struggling financially and his friend’s father who dropped out early in school but was doing way better than his father was.

​This led him to challenge the belief that you need formal education to make a lot of money so he started following his friend’s dad’s advice. The book will teach you the six main lessons you need to learn about money such as buying assets and generating passive income instead of working a 9 to 5.

The book has some really great insights about money an it’s really simplified to a point where you don’t have to make any effort to understand what it says.

This book will make you think in terms of financial assets and passive income instead of the normal 9 to 5 job.

Something you should know : I googled the author, Robert Kiyosaki and found out that it was after he failed in business that he wrote this book and starting giving people advice. Basically, he became rich by teaching people how to be rich and by selling his books.

While I think that it’s not really fair to do that, his book is still a really great read. I honestly think it’s one of the best even if the author isn’t exactly that honest.

​I will probably add one more book to this list in the near future, but for now, I gave you the best books that I came cross.
