Do Veeky Forums think rich people read selfhelp?
I do not understand how Veeky Forums keep recommending certain kind of books.
I read "The Richest Man in Babylon" because of you bastards. Book is so poorly written and the concepts are so basic that I was ashamed as a reader.

I think biographies of other successful people are better sources of life advice.
Because the people who browse Veeky Forums mostly have the IQ of a garden snake. It's not a secret that self-help books are generally trash. There's about two good self-help books.
I'd recommend a primer on basic English before you post here again. If saving income and paying off debt were such common sense, poor people wouldn't all be poor.
>There's about two good self-help books.
Those would be?
Personally, in relation to this thread, I don't read anything self-help related. I'll read a few biographies of interesting people, though. Benjamin Franklin's biography by Isaac Waterson and his autobiography are pretty good.
i find the book meme pretty hilarious too. becoming rich via investing without inherited starting capital is 1/3 raw work, 1/3 economic research skills and 1/3 luck 2bh
lol no.
rich people are the guys doing the writing/ having it outsourced and done for them.
then they sell it to people who want to be rich. and so it goes.
I did, but then I read some things a guy on Veeky Forums posted and noticed it is not about the books, the guy was just in the know.

Rich people solve problems and are generally source agnostic to real solutions.
You'd have to give us some context about yourself to really have a good recommendation.
As far as self help there are two that the successful biz folk like
Awaken the Giant Within
&
Think and Grow Rich
Rarely do the camps mix.
I'm part of the latter and think Tony's half truths facile.
While TonyFags think Hill's crazy religiosity and NoFap message hits way off base.
I see a lot of happy people with noam chomsky but none of them are rich.
The richest man in babylon is on the level of who moved my cheese.
but for some people that's exactly what they need to get started.
You have to understand that most books and best sellers are written for the average man.
Where are you in your financial journey?
Here's your reading curriculum:
>The Millionaire Next Door
Savings is more powerful than earnings. American consumer culture is killing the middle class and the vast majority of millionaires are simple people who make decent money but saved hard and lived frugal.
>Common Sense on Mutual Funds
The financial services industry is a joke and you need to dispel all the stock bullshit that Veeky Forums falls for. Just buy Vanguard funds.
>Devil Take the Hindmost
A brief history of stock fads and manias so you can recognize it and know what to avoid (i.e. Veeky Forums falls for stupid fads like meme stocks and cryptocoins).
>Your Money and Your Brain
How to deal with your irrational instincts when it comes to your investments. The morons who cashed out in the 08 crash lost their savings, while the sensible who just held on saw all their value bounce back - which happens every single time.
Then just pick a lazy portfolio and stick with it:
