Top books on business and financial freedom?
 
I'm looking for a couple interesting books to buy and read that might motivate me a bit. What are the "Bibles" of the business book world? I'm talking about books written by CEO's or whatever that everyone that is successful has memorized.

I've heard of "Over the Top" but not much more.

See, I am asking this because the only people who recommend self help books seem to be:

1) Normally succesful people who are NOT rich
2) Absolute losers who are NOT rich
3) Rich people who have gotten rich by writing self help books

So - that's why I am asking you.

...

I guess I could also ask the millionaires out there - which books did you read on your road to riches - or didnä't yuu have time to read because you were to bsy getting rich?

Soft

I WILL get rich.

Look you can read all the books you want but if you do not get off your ass (not talking to you just general) you wont get anywhere.

For example there should be very few fat people on this planet based on the amount of diet books that are being sold, but no in the US 80% are considered overweight, you can buy all the books you want if you dont take action all the tips and advice wont do you good.

Yes, agreed.

However there are also a lot of diet books out there which
a) do not work.
b) are so extremely unpleasant to follow while they are sold as something fun and eat as much as you want but in actuality you starve as you follow their system and your life turns into a living hell so its no wonder that you quit.

the only two people I know of who permanently lost weight didn't buy any books.

this is why I am so interested in if there are RICH people who can recommend books that meant A LOT to them - or if rich people simply don't bother with books.

Today I am comfortable, but far from rich,(I have gone tru millions since the 70s) Life has its ups and downs. Some one asked about the book, so I recomended it . As far as that goes any one can make it with out reading a book. Its all whats inside you:2 cents:

The most recent one I liked was "One Minute Millionaire"
I have read a ton of those type book, and I will say that they all have at least one good idea, but it is vital that you not only learn what to do, but get up and do it!

Also check my signature... They have some good motivational/business videos online..
