How to Get Rich? 5 Must-Read Books on Money and Personal Growth

1. The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel

This is not your typical finance book. Morgan Housel dives deep into the emotions and behavior behind our financial decisions. He teaches that wealth has less to do with what you know and more to do with how you behave. From patience and discipline to the dangers of comparing yourself to others, this book is packed with real-life wisdom that applies whether you're saving your first $1,000 or investing your first $100K.

💡 Key Lesson: Getting rich isn't just about math—it's about mastering your emotions and making calm decisions over time.

2. Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki

An all-time classic that changed the game for millions. Kiyosaki compares the lessons he learned from two father figures—one rich, one poor—and reveals why most people stay broke. The book introduces the importance of building assets, not just earning income, and explains why financial education is more powerful than a high salary.
