What book(s) changed your life?
I've been reading so many real estate books that teach how to be a better investor, but now I'm trying to find books that help someone be a better person by becoming mentally strong. My favorite (as well as a common crowd favorite) is currently Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki.
Those who read this would agree: this book was mind-blowing and was a huge game changer. It completely changed the way I think and it motivated me to accomplish bigger and better things.
Now, I'd like to know: what book(s) would you attribute your success? They don't necessarily have to be real estate related
