The 4-Hour Work Week
Timothy Ferriss

This book is a more recent addition to our list and belongs under both Career and Money. Tim Ferris has collected some amazing insights a very short career. He shares some favorite stories and examples that we have been collecting for over 20 years and boils them down into a very easy to read, fun and inspiring collection that will leave you thinking long and hard about the life you have created for yourself. He really gets you to think outside the box and be brutally honest with yourself about what you really want and what you have and what you don’t have right now. This is more about dreams and passion than “things” and one of the reasons we have added it to our selected reading list.
