​THE NEW TRADING FOR A LIVING by Alexander Elder is definitely a book that I would recommend as the best book to read when it comes to investing in the stock market! As a small DIY investor Trading For A Living provided me with great insights about the market. And definitely changed my trading life!

As an actively practicing psychiatrist and trader Alexander Elder emphasizes the importance of psychology in the market in this book. He ties crowd psychology, the investor's psychology (your psychology), and technical analysis on trading stocks. The results are illuminating. It makes a lot of sense to learn how crowd psychology is connected with the markets as the markets is nothing more but a collection of people trading stocks back and forth around the world.
​Trading For A Living does a wonderful job demystifying and making sense out of charts and graphs that would otherwise be meaningless numbers to an ordinary person.

​THE WEALTHY BARBER by David Chilton is a good book to read about managing your personal finance. This book was first recommended to me by a friend. This is where I really started being aware of the principles of money, not that I wasn't but knowing something and having someone else vocalize what you know solidifies that which you knew all along.
This book is an easy read. Unlike other financial books, David Chilton wrote The Wealthy Barber in a story/ Q&A-like format between the characters. He sets the story in Canada where you have a group of friends seeking financial advice to improve their personal finances. They found their advice in the least likely place... in a barber shop.

You'll find that the advice is easy to follow because the characters vocalize the financial concerns of most people that you might also likely have. Then the wealthy barber addresses those concerns and gives you sound financial advice.

THE OBESITY CODE by Dr. Jason Fung is a good book to read about the current obesity epidemic ravaging the world. The book contains valuable information about obesity and how it occurs in an individual. Though concepts discussed in this book are scientific and technical in nature, this book is light and easy to read even for a lay person. As such it makes my list of great books to read.

If you ever wondered why people become obese this is a must read book. It gives clear explanations about why people become obese. As a nephrologist Dr. Jason Fung provides a unique insight about the obesity epidemic not discussed in the mainstream. That in itself is valuable information if you want to avoid becoming obese or want to address your obesity.

Another topic discussed in this book is fasting. To be more specific: how fasting could be a solution to the obesity epidemic. Dr. Fung discusses all of this in this very good book to read: The Obesity Code.

THE 4-HOUR WORK WEEK by Tim Ferriss: fed up with your job and your boss? Want to become an entrepreneur? The this is a good book to read. This book was written with you in mind. This book reveals how you can quit your job, work less and join the new rich!
An entrepreneurial self-help book for the fed up. The 4-Hour Work Week reveals what you must do in order to free yourself from your none-to-five. This book is one of those books that changed my life and hence makes it to my list of great books to read. It's up there in my list of books together with Atlas Shrugged.
​
This was my personal bible when I was starting out as a young entrepreneur. If you want to start a small business but don't know how, Tim's 4-Hour Work Week is the best place to start.
It focuses on building automated online business that you could run with as little as 4-hour a week or less. Hence the title of the book. I highly recommend it!
