5 Books That Will Set Your Mind Straight And Help You Start 2024 With A Bang!
Books that will help fix your mindset so this can be your year (for real this time).
Books have a unique ability to change your life.
Warren Buffet, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg are all heavy readers and would be the first to admit that without books, they would not be who they are today.
However, that doesn’t mean you should read anything. You need to pick your books carefully!
The wrong book can ruin your mindset and fill your head with nonsense.
While the right book could inspire you to make humans multi-planetary, like what happened with Elon Musk.
If you want to make 2024 your year…
I recommend you read these 5 books.
1. Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss
It doesn’t matter what your goals are, this book will help you.
Tim Ferriss interviews the most successful and high-performing individuals every week for his podcast. In this book, he shares valuable information about their habits, routines, rituals and mindset.
I love his podcasts and books. There isn’t a single individual who I don’t know personally who has added as much value to my life as Tim.
This book is as close to a personal bible as you can get.
The best part is that you don’t need to read it in a specific order.
No matter what page you start on you get tremendous value
If you want to become healthier, wealthier or more successful in 2024, read this book.

2. The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel
Saying that people in our day and age are bad with money would be an understatement.
Credit card debt is skyrocketing, people can’t afford to purchase homes anymore and it seems like no one knows what to do about it.
Even our countries are in major debt!
The Psychology of Money was published 4 years ago and it could not have come at a better time. Since then, it has sold millions of copies and people around the world have been raving about its excellence.
The most important part is when Morgan talks about not socially comparing yourself to others. You need to let go of your ego so you can save more.
Too many of us fall into the trap of useless spending in an attempt to compete with others. Meanwhile, those others are likely dropping it on their credit card anyway.
A fool’s game.
“Every decision people make with money is justified by taking the information they have at the moment and plugging it into their unique mental model of how the world works.” - Morgan Housel
This is exactly why we should expand our mental models.
Aka, read more.
If you want to get out of debt this year, save more, or just fix your money habits, this one is for you.
