Read to Recondtion. Apply to Achieve.

Aug 30, 2023

If there's one habit I can't stress enough that's been pivotal in my journey to success, it's reading. Trust me, while audiobooks have their place, there's something uniquely transformative about turning the pages of a book. Alhamdulillah, I've immersed myself in countless pages over the years, and the habit of reading daily remains unwavering. It's not just a pastime; it's a hallmark of the successful.

Every book I'm about to recommend has been a part of my journey, offering insights that have shaped my thoughts and actions. But here's a little disclaimer: while each of these books has been beneficial, I don't find myself nodding in agreement with every single point they make. The only book that holds that honor is the Quran. So, as I delve into other reads, I always measure their content against the teachings of our deen. If it aligns, wonderful. If not, then the book, no matter how acclaimed, it falls short.

Dive into this list with an open mind, and may you find the gems that resonate with your journey.

 

1. Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki

 

  • Brief Description: "Rich Dad Poor Dad" delves into the contrasting philosophies of Kiyosaki's two "dads" – his biological father (Poor Dad) and the father of his childhood best friend (Rich Dad). The book challenges traditional notions of education, work, and wealth, emphasizing the importance of financial education and entrepreneurial ventures.

  • Why I Recommend It: This was one of the first books that truly opened my eyes to the world of financial literacy. Its straightforward approach and relatable anecdotes made complex concepts digestible. It wasn't just a book; it was a paradigm shift for me.

  • Key Takeaways:

    1. Assets put money in your pocket; liabilities take money out. Focus on building assets.
    2. Financial education is crucial; it's not about how much money you make, but how much you keep.
    3. The rat race is real. To escape it, one must think differently about work, money, and life.

 

2. The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel

The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel  

  • Brief Description: "The Psychology of Money" offers a deep dive into the emotional and psychological aspects of money and wealth. Rather than focusing on the technicalities of investments or financial strategies, Housel explores the stories people tell themselves about money, success, and value, emphasizing that behavior is a crucial component of financial well-being.

  • Why I Recommend It: This book shifted my perspective from the mechanics of money to its underlying psychology. Housel's narratives about the irrational behaviors and biases people have around money resonated deeply, highlighting that financial success isn't just about knowledge but understanding our relationship with money.

  • Key Takeaways:

    1. Wealth is what you don't see – it's the money not spent. Savings, not earnings, is the true marker of wealth.
    2. Financial decisions are driven more by emotional factors than by logical ones.
    3. Time is a powerful variable in the world of investments. Having a long-term perspective can be a significant advantage.

 

3. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

Based on Hill's study of successful individuals, the book distills the principles and philosophies that can lead to personal and financial success. It emphasizes the power of desire, faith, and persistence in achieving one's goals.

  • Why I Recommend It: This book was a foundational read for me. Hill's principles, from the importance of a definite major purpose to the role of the subconscious mind, provided a roadmap for success that goes beyond just financial wealth. It's about cultivating the right mindset and habits to achieve any goal.

    1. Desire backed by faith and persistence is the foundation of success.
