3. The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life — Alice Schroeder

A deep, well-researched look at Buffett's investing philosophy and career, useful for finding your own footing in the stock market — including how to process losses rationally rather than emotionally. A strong pick for beginners.

4. The Psychology of Money: Timeless Lessons on Wealth, Greed, and Happiness — Morgan Housel

Focuses less on tactics and more on behavior — how people actually think about and act around money. It's a deceptively simple book that covers genuinely deep ideas about spending, saving, and investing, and how our psychology shapes all three. Worth reading for the mindset shift alone, not just the money management lessons.

5. Rich Dad's Guide to Investing: What the Rich Invest In That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not — Robert T. Kiyosaki

Digs into practical approaches to the financial challenges most people face day to day, and how the wealthy tend to think differently about solving them.

6. The Little Book of Common Sense Investing: The Only Way to Guarantee Your Fair Share of Stock Market Returns — John C. Bogle

Makes a strong, foundational case early on for how beginners should think carefully about where and how they invest. A genuinely useful recommendation for anyone looking to build a passive, long-term income stream.

7. One Up on Wall Street — Peter Lynch, with John Rothchild

A simple but important read that makes a strong case for long-term investing in the stock market. Especially worth reading for anyone seriously considering the share market as a long-term investment path.

That's 7 books genuinely worth your time if you're building your investing knowledge. Got any others you'd recommend? Let me know in the comments. Thanks for reading.
