Rich Dad Poor Dad was my first book, and guess what? I finished the book and I quit my job, heck yeah . . .

If you haven’t read the book yet, read it, but please don’t do the same; what I am trying to say here, is that Books have a great impact on us, in fact they have the greatest influence.

I love books, and to be honest I love the full experience of having a new one; from deciding which book to buy to receiving with fresh new pages with their addictive smell that makes the experience even more magical – usually the title reveals itself through different medium; while reading, browsing the net, through a friend who is sharing, etc.. – so i don’t spend time on that, and then I just buy it.

Fo me books are like messengers, each one has something to deliver. No matter how long you had the book for, or how many times you’ve read it; one day you will open it, choose a random page, and here you go the message of the day…

I usually prefer books related to personal development and growth, since we all need guidance to certain extent in different aspect of life. My personal opinion of course.

Below is the golden list of books that helped me all the way, crafted my thinking process and how I perceive things in life:

1- Rich Dad Poor Dad. The book entails the difference between two fathers, one who worked hard his entire life but never reached a financial freedom, the other guy has invested his money smartly due to entrepreneurship and his financial education, and I don’t mean here certificate or any academic education; it is to let the money work for you and don’t work for money.
