"Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance"

For Angela Duckworth, success is not talent-based but persistence- and passion-driven: your "grit." This book promotes the importance of effort over success, and how grit can overcome any circumstances you put in front of it.

"Zero to One"
《從0到1》
Peter Thiel's book focuses on disproving the misconception that there are no more frontiers. He preaches a mentality of thinking for yourself in order to find the space and means to innovate and create. The book aims to teach you to ask questions and not just follow in the footsteps of other thinkers.
彼得•蒂爾的這本書注重反駁未開拓領域已不存在這一錯誤觀點。他宣揚一種獨立思考的心理思維，旨在找到自身創新和創造的空間和途徑。這本書的目標在於讓你學會問問題，而不僅僅是跟隨他人的腳步。
"The Intelligent Investor"
《聰明的投資者》
Abstaining from the usual "can't-fail" strategies pitch, Graham's book focuses on loss minimization, not profit maximization. With Warren Buffet endorsing the book as "the best book on investing ever written," Graham's work has received numerous accolades and awards over the years. This book will take you through investing basics and give you a fundamental understanding of how Wall Street works.
不同於尋常的“不敗”戰略，格雷厄姆將本書的重點定位爲損失最小化，而非利益最大化。沃倫•巴菲特稱讚這本書爲“有史以來最好的投資書”。而近年來，格雷厄姆的這部著作也收穫了無數的榮譽和獎項。此書將會帶你瞭解投資的基礎知識，並讓你對華爾街的運作有一個根本的認識。
"Rich Dad Poor Dad"
《富爸爸•窮爸爸》
Robert Kiyosaki shares the two influences on his life growing up, one financially unsuccessful and the other fiscally responsible. One of the core themes he came to learn and advocate was that "the poor and middle class work for money" while "the rich have money work for them." Throughout the book, Kiyosaki seeks to teach a level of financial literacy often ignored in formal education.
羅伯特•清崎分享了對他成長影響很大的兩件事情：一是經濟上的失敗，二是財政上的盡責。他慢慢學習到並且開始倡導的一個核心觀點是，“窮人和中產階級爲錢工作”，但“富人讓錢爲他們工作。”縱觀全書，清崎試圖傳授給大家一定的理財素養，這是在正規教育中經常被忽視的。
"The 48 Laws of Power"
《權力的48條法則》
This book condenses 3,000 years of history into 48 laws to achieving success. With rules ranging from "Never Outshine the Master" to "Despise the Free Lunch," this book has been used by investors, CEOs, and even celebrities, such as 50 Cent and Busta Rhymes.
這本書把3000年的歷史沉浮濃縮成48條成功法則，包括“做人要低調”以及“天下沒有免費的午餐”。此書的讀者包括投資者、總裁甚至是柯蒂斯•詹姆斯•傑克遜三世（別名：50美分）和布斯塔•萊姆斯等名人。
"The Millionaire Next Door"
《鄰家的百萬富翁》
Doctors Stanley and Danko spent 20 years interviewing members of the elite club whose net worth exceeded $1 million. Their findings resulted in seven conclusive rules, ranging from living below your means to choosing your occupation wisely. This book won't teach you investment tips to hit it big, but rather how to lead a lifestyle that creates wealth.
斯坦利博士和丹科博士花了20年時間採訪了精英俱樂部中淨資產超過100萬美元的會員。調查結果被總結成務必量入爲出、明智選擇職業等七條法則。這本書不能教給你大富大貴的投資建議，卻能教你過上創造財富的生活。
"Awaken the Giant Within"

喬治•克拉森認爲，常識不一定是大家都知道的事情。書中給出了七條簡單的成功法則，並堅持認爲，成功取決於生活方式的改變。
"The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People"
《高效能人士的七個習慣》

成功不僅是一種態度，還是一種生活方式。這就是爲什麼柯維的軼事既來自家庭生活也關乎商業矛盾。從自我掌控到積極主動，這本書會改變你對尋求成功的態度和看法。
"Think and Grow Rich"
《思考致富》
Originally published in 1937, Napoleon Hill's book is old, but not outdated. The messages in it are not exclusively financial, because Hill does not limit wealth to the confines of monetary worth. With stories from the top businessmen of the time, Hill finds that success is derived as much from personal satisfaction as it is from financial flair.
拿破崙•希爾的這本書最早出版於1937年，雖然古舊，卻不過時。書中傳授的信息不完全與金融相關，因爲希爾並沒有把財富限制在貨幣價值的範圍內。但希爾從當時頂尖商人的故事中發現，成功不僅來源於個人滿意度，還得自於金融敏銳力。
