What is your favorite book(s) on money/finances that you feel everyone should read? Or a book that brought you a lot of value in terms of the lessons and knowledge you obtained.

Currently reading How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. I've only gone through the first few chapters, but I can see how that book is timeless. I highly recommend the book.

I found the Four Pillars of Investing a good overview read for personal finances, good primer before you get into the weeds.

The Ascent of Money is another good one, it's a history so not practical but increased my overall understanding of finance.

Don't get pissy with me because you can't open the stickied thread or search before you make a thread that has been made and answered dozens of times.

You're the only one who seems to have an issue with it. Go kick a puppy, might make you feel better.

Eta: thanks to those answering the questions. I'm adding them to my Amazon list.

Not a bad book, but am not sure what this has to do with money/finance.

I didn't have a finance book to recommend

But I wanted to recommend this book since I've learned a lot in a few chapters. It may not be directly related to finance, but there are valuable lessons that can make us more effective in whatever passion we pursue.
