3 books I wish I read at 12 years old:
1) The Education of Millionaires by Michael Ellsberg
2) The Art of Learning by Josh Waitzkin
3) The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason
Here's why:
If I read one of these books at 12, I would have been hooked on reading nonfiction.
These 3 books are the best combination of readability, enjoyability, and value.
They are well-written with a lot of stories and examples, and a high rate of revelation.
1/ The Education of Millionaires by Michael Ellsberg
• love the writing style
• very inspiring
• huge value
If I read this book at 12, I would have known the path to wealth a lot faster with a lot of success stories as inspiration.
2/ The Art of Learning by Josh Waitzkin
• very immersive and enjoyable to read
• very inspiring
• teaches about something school does not: learning
If I read this book at 12, I would have been inspired to practice and become world-class at something instead of being lazy.
3/ The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason
• short book
• great stories about ancient Babylon
• teaches about money
If I read this book at 12, I would have known about the 3 secrets to being rich: making money, saving money, and multiplying money.
