The 10 Financial Books i read in my initial days of career

Dear Friends

My passion for reading started in a strange way. I was never in the habit of reading books other than my Course content til i became Chartered Accountant. Even in my first job, i hardly read any book. Then when i changed my job, i had two colleagues in my new office who had the habit of reading books. Initially they used to give me their books to read. I used to take their books to my home, read them in next week or so and then return them back. Slowly i developed a liking for reading books. I must confess here that had they not offered me reading their books free of cost, i would never have developed this habit. At that time, i could hardly imagine that a miser like me will spend his hard earned money on something like books. But this is how i realised over a period of time that reading is something that makes me happy.

The first few books i read in my initial days were 

• Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R Covey
• How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
• How to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie

The first 10 Financial books i read in my initial days of Career were

• Winning by Jack Welch with Suzy Welch
• Straight from the Gut by Jack Welch
• Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki
• Cash Flow Quadrant, Rich Dad's Guide to Financial Freedom by Robert Kiyosaki
• Rich Dad's Guide to Investing: What the Rich Invest in That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not by Robert Kiyosaki
