The 5 books that changed how I think about money
Most people read self-help books and forget everything by the next week. I was the same until I changed my approach.
Instead of reading 30 books a year, I started studying 5 deeply. Rereading chapters. Taking notes. Actually applying what I learned before moving on.
Here are the 5 categories that moved the needle the most:
1. Trading psychology — Understanding why you make bad decisions with money is worth more than any strategy. Your emotions are the leak in your wallet.
2. Health fundamentals — You can't build wealth if your body and mind are breaking down. Sleep, nutrition, and movement aren't "nice to have" — they're the foundation.
3. Systems over goals — The millionaire mindset isn't about motivation. It's about building daily systems that compound. One good habit stacked on another.
4. Adventure & perspective — Traveling (even virtually through books about safaris and world experiences) rewires how you see opportunity. Most people's world is too small.
5. Life planning — Whether it's planning a wedding or planning your next decade, the skill of organizing your life intentionally separates dreamers from doers.
I built LevelUp Library to put the best resources across all these categories in one place. No fluff. Just the guides that actually work.
