revising your money blueprint to increase income. Using the principles written in the book,
you can move from nothing to milllionarie in almost 2½ years. The main idea is to use your

3. Rich dad poor Dad

This book is all about Robert Kiyosaki and his two dads, his real one (poor dad), and the
second one (rich dad). This book defines how both men helped him shaped his thoughts
about money and investment.
According to Robert, you don’t need to have income to become rich. Rich people know how
to make money work for them.
Rich Dad Poor Dad helps in identifying the difference between poor and being broken. I
learnt from this book that broke is temporary, but poor is eternal. This book guides about
cash flow, and let you understand the difference between assets and liability.
Those who know the skill to spend time wisely are the ones who are rich. This book has
helped me a lot in understanding the power of intellectual when it comes to money.
Admittedly, this is by far the best book when it comes to clearing doubts about being poor
and living a poor life.

4. 4 Hour Work Week

This fantastic book is the step-by-step blueprint to let yourself free from the chains of
grinding corporate job. You need to create a business to supply the lifestyle of your dreams
and live like a millionaire. I have learnt 3 most effective lessons from this book.  1st lesson is to be effective, not efficient. This is the most important aspect to pay
attention to. You need to be innovative and should measure productivity with your
sales, rather than the time you spent working.  The second lesson is always to validate business ideas. You always need to make
sure whatever business you are going to build or product you are going to spend,
make sure people give money for it.  The third lesson is to charge a premium amount to have fewer clients and make your
life easier.

5. The Happiness Equation

The Happiness Equation by Neil reveals the top 9 scientifically back secrets to happiness to
hep people knowing that by wanting nothing and so doing anything, you can actually have
anything you need. One of his lessons is that Ikigai is better than retirement. Means reason for waking up early
in the morning is beneficial to health in old age. However, the second lesson is to take the
Saturday morning test. You can do whatever you want to do on Saturday without obligation.
While the third lesson by Neil is not to listen to everyone’s advise.
Our life is full of contradictions and confusions. We get at every step of our life, but to have
a clear vision, it’s not necessary to take every advise seriously. This book has a lot to offer to
anybody who wants to change the equation of their current happiness.
These are some of the top amazing favorite books on self-help which have helped me a lot
