Most Mentioned Books of ALL 312 BP Podcasts

Developer · Member since 2018 · 10 posts · 84 votes

I've listened to the BP podcast for a long time now. The other day I got curious as to what the top recommended books are from the show up to this point, and decided to figure it out. I started doing it myself, but after about 30 minutes and not much progress, and realizing that The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss was showing up often, I took a page out his book and outsourced this project. So, $22 and 48 hours later, I have a list.

Keep in mind that BP promotes their books pretty regularly on the podcast (as they should) so their books are mentioned often (not to say you shouldn't read them, because you should!).

These are listed in order from most mentioned, but there are hundreds of books that were mentioned so I've only included books with 5 or more mentions...

  1. Rich Dad, Poor Dad - Robert Kiyosaki --- 135
  2. The 4-Hour Workweek - Tim Ferriss --- 62
  3. The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down - Brandon Turner --- 60
  4. The E-Myth Revisited - Michael E. Gerber --- 46
  5. The Millionaire Real Estate Investor - Gary Keller --- 39
  6. The ONE Thing - Gary Keller --- 34
  7. The Book on Flipping Houses - J Scott --- 33
  8. The Book on Rental Property Investing - Brandon Turner --- 30
  9. Set For Life - Scott Trench --- 30
  10. Think and Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill --- 26
  11. The Richest Man in Babylon - George S. Clason --- 19
  12. Rich Dad's Cashflow Quadrant - Robert Kiyosaki --- 19
  13. How to Win Friends and Influence People - Dale Carnegie --- 17
  14. The ABCs of Real Estate Investing- Ken McElroy --- 16
  15. The 10X Rule - Grant Cardone --- 15
  16. Long Distance Real Estate Investing - David Greene --- 15
  17. The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs - J Scott --- 14
  18. The Miracle Morning (Series) - Hal Elrod --- 14
  19. The Millionaire Next Door - Thomas J. Stanley --- 12
  20. The Book on Managing Rental Properties - Brandon & Heather Turner --- 11
  21. The Millionaire Real Estate Agent - Gary Keller --- 11
  22. The Book on Tax Strategies for the Savvy Real Estate Investor - Amanda Han & Matthew MacFarland --- 10
  23. Landlording on Auto-Pilot - Mike Butler --- 10
  24. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Stephen R. Covey --- 10
  25. Good to Great - Jim Collins --- 8
  26. Emerging Real Estate Markets - David Lindahl --- 7
  27. Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity - David Allen --- 7
  28. Finding and Funding Great Deals - Anson Young --- 7
  29. How I Turned $1,000 Into $5 Million - William Nickerson --- 7
  30. Ultimate Beginners Guide to Real Estate Investing - BiggerPockets --- 7
  31. What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow… And 36 Other Key Financial Measures - Frank Gallinelli --- 7
  32. Building Wealth One House at a Time - John Schaub --- 6
  33. 80/20 Sales and Marketing - Perry Marshall --- 6
  34. Lifeonaire - Steve Cook & Shaun McCloskey --- 6
  35. Pitch Anything - Oren Klaff --- 6
  36. The Snowball - Alice Schroeder --- 6
  37. The Art of the Deal - Donald Trump --- 5
  38. Never Split the Difference - Chris Voss --- 5
  39. The Obstacle Is the Way - Ryan Holiday --- 5
  40. Secrets of the Millionaire Mind - T. Harv Eker --- 5
  41. The Total Money Makeover - Dave Ramsay --- 5
  42. Traction - Gino Wickman --- 5

....

Hopefully this helps at least one person. Cheers!

    @Michael Ealy, I appreciate it. I'm glad there are some new ones for you to read!

    Thanks for the compilation Ryan! I keep an Amazon book list saved of books that are in my queue to read. I get many of them from the podcast. Seeing the frequency mapped out on your list is great because it essentially prioritizes the book according to how broad their influence has been on real estate investors!

    Nice work on your approach to outsource the data collection. Do you mind sharing the service that you used and how you found it?

    I have found this page valuable to build my education as I'm trying to dive in. Someone should keep this list up-to-date or make it a permanent page of the podcast...

    Great post and excellent use of the 4HWW way of getting it done.

    Hey, good list indeed! I know it's probably a lot of work but an update every year would be great! To see how things evolve!

    Also , I've read a lot of books the past 2 years and those I enjoy the most are often story book. The kind of book that teach you something through a story. When the books are well written, I always feel like I get a lot more from those. Especially on the mindset side of business and life but also on strategies, new ideas and different ways to see things and always keep the motivation to the max.

    Here is a quick list of some of my favorite (no big surprise here). But if you have some more similar to share, I would enjoy your recommendations.

    1. The Alchemist (Paulo Coelho)

    2. The richest man in Babylon (George Clason)

    3. Rich dad poor dad (Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter)

    4. The E-Myth Revisited (Michael E. Gerber)

    Thanks.

    thanks for sharing Ryan, this is helpful. One book I found valuable in 2021 was It Takes What It Takes by Trevor Moawad. It discusses the importance of neutral thinking and getting to the truth quickly to overcome challenges. While not real estate specific, in a space with so many variables it can help when dealing with challenges both known and unknown.

     I'm also very curious to know how you got this done for $22. I am trying to work on efficient outsourcing in my life right now. Thank you!

    It's been 3 years since this amazing post was made.  I wonder if we could somehow update it with the past 3 years of podcasts?  There have been quite a few good books that have come out since this post.
