My Favorite Business Magazines & Books

1. Personal Money Magazine

I have these subscribed. Personally the best personal finance magazine in Malaysia. What I love the most about these books is the fact that it’s not for businessmen. It talks about taxes, managing your income, how to invest your money, study cases, and the latest government initiatives. A lot of financial jargons, but simple enough to flip through to find something useful for the average joe.

2. Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson

One of the most inspiring biographies. I finished this book in like, 3 days! If you wonder how did Apple get so famous and successful, you'd know why from the very beginning of the book.

3. Rich dad Poor Dad series

And I mean, the whole lot. If you weren’t born with a silver spoon in your mouth, you’d get a lot of good from reading these books. They open up your views on how running a business can get you financially free.

I read them when I was 16, accidently because I was bored. You can safely say they change my whole life and the reason why I quit engineering so easily. I also got feedback from others who’ve read the books, and they had the same revelation that I had.

My favorite books in the series: Rich dad, poor dad, cashflow quadrant, and guide to investing.

4. Richard Branson, Losing my virginity

Sometimes business books can be fun-reading like this one. It’s fun, inspiring and gets you moving whenever you reach a tight spot in your life. Makes you realize that if you don’t work hard, you won’t get what you want.

Of course, there are lots more, but I’ll highlight them in a different post.

Happy reading!
