The Psychology of Money
Doing well with money is about behaviour, not intelligence: luck, enough, time, and freedom.
Rich Dad Poor Dad
Buy things that pay you; stop buying things that cost you. Everything else in the book is a story.
Deep Work
Four hours of real concentration beat ten hours of busy work. Protect them with rituals and a hard stop.

Work from the inside out: take responsibility, decide what matters, do that first, then seek to understand before being understood.
Think and Grow Rich
A definite goal, a written plan, daily repetition and a mastermind group. Four useful ideas wrapped in 1937 mysticism.
The Power of Now
Most suffering is the mind replaying the past or rehearsing the future. Notice the thinking, return to this moment, and the suffering loses its fuel.
Can't Hurt Me
You quit at 40 percent of what you can do. Callous the mind with voluntary hardship, keep an accountability mirror, and take souls.
