I thought as I read 'The Fastlane'. Even if I don't start a business right away, if I do one day, I have to know about finance. That's why I get recommendations. What book should I read when I don't know the basics of finance? And since I am Korean, is it a bad choice to read other countries' financial books? I ask for a good answer.

The way I would go about finding information in any topic (including finance in your case) would be to use free of charge resources such as YouTube, Google etc. If you are working with a limited budget. If you are not, I can also recommend Amazon, the amount of books on there is crazy to say the least.

These are my basics of finance book recommendations:

  1. The Richest Man in Babylon by George Clason
  2. Get a Financial Life by Beth Kobliner
  3. The Simple Path to Wealth by JL Collins
  4. The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas Stanley
  5. Your Money or Your Life by Vicki Robin and Joe Dominguez
  6. I Will Teach You to be Rich by Ramit Sethi
  7. The Little Book of Common Sense Investing by John Bogle
  8. Your Money and Your Brain by Jason Zweig
  9. You Can Be a Stock Market Genius by Joel Greenblatt
I the above will help you with what you are after.

The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel in my opinion is one of the most comprehensive and informative books on finance.

I was just wondering if this book was worth reading. I just found it today before reading this thread.

This is one of the best books ever on this subject. It’s amazing combination of philosophy, psychology and basic finance
