Good Reads

Hello! Nice work on learning how to slowly escape the 9-5. Some people are too scared to even consider that. Anyway, I've recently left my job last February 2016 myself to work full time on my blog (it'll take a lot of work, but good thing the passive income I've built in the last 6 years allowed it).

If you want some great books to read, these are my top 10 recommendations (the link includes my reviews):
1. “Rich Dad Poor Dad” by Robert T. Kiyosaki
2. “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth” by T. Harv Eker
3. “The Richest Man in Babylon” by George S. Clason
4. “The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing” by Taylor Larimore, Mel Lindauer, and Michael LeBoeuf
5. “Your Money or Your Life: 9 Steps to Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Achieving Financial Independence” by Vicki Robin and Joe Dominguez (with Monique Tilford)
6. “Wooden on Leadership: How to Create a Winning Organization” by John Wooden and Steve Jamison
7. “The Millionaire Next Door” by Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Danko
8. “The Art of Worldly Wisdom” by Baltasar Gracian
9. “50 Success Classics: Winning Wisdom for Work & Life from 50 Landmark Books”, “50 Prosperity Classics”, and “50 Self-Help Classics: 50 Inspirational Books to Transform Your Life from Timeless Sages to Contemporary Gurus” by Tom Butler-Bowdon
10. “The Success Principles: How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be” by Jack Canfield

They're mostly on the personal finance and self-help, but I believe you might find them useful. Good luck, and I hope you'll become successful soon!

- rich dad poor dad (but read it as a mostly fiction book as Kiyosaki later admitted that not everything he wrote was true)
-the Millionaire Mind (T harv Eker)
-The Four Hour Work Week (Time Ferriss) also his blog of the same name
- 7 habits of highly effective people (steven covey)

for me, i would suggest :
- think and grow rich. classic one but provide tremendous value in transforming you thought
- Rich dad series book. yes, you can start reading rich dad poor dad, but to get the whole picture, you better read it all
- tony robbins book. for finance, you should read his latest book "winning the money game" but i highly suggest you read all of his books too, because it will transform you mindset, building the foundation needed
- " change your thought, change your life" by wayne dyer, this book is what you need to build the spirit within you because i really want to you to be rich, happy, and highly moral person as well. our world really need more good people. you should consider reading his other books too, he is a legion.

besides reading these books, you should:
- join cashflow club and play cashflow regularly. if you do not join yet, start searching in your area to find the cashflow club. playing this cashflow game really open your mind for the business and investment world'.
- also learn about meditation. this is what give you the peace of mind.
- learn about goal setting. since you don't like your job, you need to find out what is the carrier you really love and set the goal to achieve it. but make sure your goal contribute to society as well. you can learn more about goal in my blog 4 kinds of goal
- you should also learn to be discipline as well to reach your goal. and if you have problem with procrastination, which most people have in fact, you can read my another blog 4 ways to kill procrastination to help you stop the procrastination.

i am so glad that you start to open your mind to a new whole world of possibility, and i wish you success in your life and i do hope you can better our society as well.

The book titles i was going to mention have already been posted

On top of reading books, I find that Ted talks are great to listen to, especially in the morning time

They really help me to get into a good frame of mind for the day

I would add this to the list:

How to win friends and influence people - Dale Carnegie
