A few weeks back one of my friends asked me for a list of books that I feel everyone absolutely must read once in their lifetime. This query intrigued me and as it turns out after going through a lot of different fantastic books, I finally settled on 3 non-fiction books that had changed my life completely in various aspects of life. And, I feel that these books have the ability to change the way you think and feel too.

Successful people read. Successful people listen. They never stop learning. If you’re not learning, growing and evolving who you were yesterday who you will be tomorrow is going to be no better. If you’re not growing, you are falling behind. 

If you want to grow, you must start injecting your mind with new information… always looking for a new spark.

I feel somewhere along the line, like early teenage years, I stopped reading books after getting my smartphones from an early age. Suddenly a lot of other things started to capture my attention, like better things to do.

I went years without reading anything, reading only what is required to read in school and college. Last year, though, I rediscovered books, and now I find them as my best friends and mentors to absorb new information. 

Books are incredible in the sense that they are usually a lifetime of work and energy, and knowledge, condensed into a few hundred pages. The author is imparting in you a piece of their lives, of what they know, their years of experience, and their imagination.

Mainly at this stage of my life, I’m consuming books on self-help, psychology and spirituality. Learning new things from books helped me in loneliness. It has always guided me whenever I’ve felt no sense of direction.

Enough talking, here are 3 books I recommend that’ll help you rise to a new level in your life in every aspect be it physically, socially, spiritually, or financially.

Rich Dad Poor Dad is a starting point for anyone looking to gain control of their financial future. This book explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income in order to become rich – especially in a society where technology and the global economy are changing the rules.

It teaches the difference between an asset and a liability and why acquiring assets and building assets can be more important to your future than an income paycheck.

Rich Dad Poor Dad reminds us why we can’t depend on the college system to teach us about money – and why this important life skill is more important today than ever before.

Nothing I’ve ever read has so greatly shifted my perspective on money. This book is by far the most influential book in my life and there is a pretty strong reason behind it. It completely changed my understanding of money and wealth.

This book isn’t going to tell you: “Look, do this and you will make a lot of money.” But it’s more about changing your mindset, your understanding of money, job, business, etc.

Like it or not, the moment you change your views about money you start seeing things differently because you’ll find a way to become financially free.

So you’ve to read this book, not once, but multiple times to understand properly because money is one of the most important things of our life. So if you’re serious about achieving financial freedom, this book is definitely for you.

The main reason people struggle financially is that they have spent years in school but learned nothing about money. The result is that people learn to work for money… but never learn to have money work for them. This book teaches us the importance of financial literacy i.e. it’s not how much money you make its how much money you keep, and education and wisdom about money are important. That was the core message that I gathered from this #1 personal finance book of all time.
