What are you favorite books?

[Joe Vastola]

With the new year approaching I am making a goal to read 50 books in 2018. I have read 14 since this September and was curious what some of your favorite real estate, business and self improvement books. Thanks BP!

Here are some of my favorites:

The One Thing

Rich Dad Poor Dad

The Millionaire next door
