List of best books for college students

 Rich Dad Poor Dad

Majority of the people today suck at their finances when they are into their careers, right after college.

Do you know the reason, why people suck at their finances and also at managing money?

Because finances, financial knowledge and money management skills are not taught in school and college. I mean nobody talks about that or teaches you skills which are actually needed to survive.

Just look at the irony, things which are so important nobody is ready to talk about that, this the prime reason why people suck in this when they grow up.

We grow up learning professional and scholastic knowledge and skills but we are definitely not taught financial knowledge.

What we are told to do as we grow up, get good grades, study at a great university and get a good job.

But why? nobody questions that. Why get a job and live paycheck to paycheck when you can do more worthwhile than that.

Managing money and understanding to control the power of money is a skill which the book Rich Dad Poor Dad will teach you.

This is one thing every college-going student should get aware, that it is not necessary to live from paycheck and paycheck and this book will reveal all the myth and beliefs regarding money you have in your mind since childhood.

The book is very simply written and it should be a must include in a list of best books for college students, I personally believe this book should be present as a syllabus book because everyone needs money.

Find your Why by Simon Sinek

Living a life without a purpose is not actually living it but wasting it.

The earlier you know and understand your WHY, the better it is and the higher your chance to be successful.

The best time to clearly know and understand about WHY is when you are in college.

Your WHY is something which makes you feel passionate about something, makes you fulfilled, makes you feel satisfied, happy and that is the thing which makes you wake up every morning because you know that you are contributing to something which has a deep meaning and a sense of purpose.

To live a fulfilled is everyone’s right and not a privilege, every college student should feel fulfilled when they work, they should be able to feel that they are contributing to something larger than themselves.

I will give you an example of my WHY which makes me wake up every warning

I want to inspire the youth to read books and make their life better in any way possible and that is what makes me wake up in the morning, get out of the bed and start writing something which inspires others.
