Day 1. Think and Grow Rich!: The Original Version, Restored and Revised by Napoleon Hill, Ross Cornwell

Day 2. The Education of Millionaires: Everything You Won’t Learn in College About How to Be Successful by Michael Ellsberg

Nobody becomes a millionaire in a day. And just like for others, education matters. However, it would be an understatement that a proper education comes only from universities, colleges, and other facilities. That’s why the list of the best rich mindset books would be incomplete without The Education of Millionaires.

In his book, Michael Ellsberg reveals all the secrets about what kind of knowledge one should master to become successful and, what’s also essential, wealthy. From The Education of Millionaires, you will find out why lifelong learning is crucial for your achievements, who are the knowledge workers and why they are so great. Mastering these insights will lead to gaining the success you’ve always wanted!

Day 3. Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap and Others Don’t by Jim Collins

One of the biggest enemies of success is settling for less. When you accept mediocrity as the norm, you stand in your way of achieving something remarkable.

In Good to Great, author Jim Collins outlines the path from being just good to becoming great that different businesses embarked on. With insights gleaned from a five-year study of fifteen companies publicly trading on the stock markets in the US, Jim Collins encapsulates key findings into learning points on leadership, culture, and strategy.

Day 4. The 80/20 Principle: The Secret to Achieving More with Less by Richard Koch

Do you find yourself putting in a lot of effort and still not getting what you want? Probably it’s because you’re channeling your energy in the wrong direction. The 80/20 principle teaches about an inapparent imbalance: 80% of results come from just 20% of input. And that is nature’s secret to super achievement! So allow Robert Koch to show you how to identify and focus on the things that can turn your life and career around.
