Thanks for sharing this amazing books list. I will try to get a look. I would like to recommend 2 books that I read and love in 2024. 1st is "The Psychology of Money" written by Morgan Housel. The book unfolds the truth of the money depending on our own habits and needs. It stated the importance of savings and investing with your own preference. 2nd book is "The Diary of a CEO" by Steven bartlett , and I saw a lot of his speech or talk before I bought the book and read. It is very inspiring and I highly recommend to all of you. @Tiger_comments
