The Millionaire Next Door
I read this one in one afternoon. It's good stuff. Take a look at the way most wealthy people really live. You may be surprised. They don't drive new cars and the don't live in Beverly Hills.

Multiple Streams of Income
Best part of this book is the first chapter. A wonderful explanation of real assets and compound interest. Save one dollar a day and make millions during your lifetime.

Permission Marketing
Seth Godin chooses a wonderful cover color. Learn to get permission from your customers before you try to sell anything to them. Become their friends, gain their trust, treat them right, and recommend a product - your product. Fascinating stuff.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad
Read this one four times if you have to. Just get these concepts into your head. The key to wealth is not going to school, getting a good job, buying a house, and living happily ever after. Learn why your house is not an asset. Learn to buy real assets, not cars, jewelry, gold, or a huge house. Read Robert Kiyosaki's other books too.

The Tipping Point
This bestseller explains through example the mechanics of an epidemic. The crime rate suddenly falls in New York city, seemingly overnight. Hush Puppies come back into fashion because a few kids start wearing them in Soho. A good chapter on the Magic of 150.

Wealth Without Risk
A wealth of no nonsense information for the rest of us. Common sense advice on most things financial. Take much of it with grain of salt. Especially his theories on swapping investments between bonds, cash, and stocks. His insurance analysis is top notch.
