3 Books Everyone Should Read

Why Everyone Should Read Rich Dad Poor Dad, Think and Grow Rich, and Atomic Habits

If you’re even remotely interested in improving your life—financially, mentally, or just becoming a more productive human—then there are three books you absolutely need to read: Rich Dad Poor Dad, Think and Grow Rich, and Atomic Habits. These aren’t just hyped-up “self-help” books. They’ve helped millions of people shift their mindset, build better habits, and take control of their futures. Here’s why they’re worth your time:

Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki

This book is a game-changer when it comes to how you think about money. Kiyosaki tells the story of growing up with two father figures—one rich, one poor—and what each of them taught him about money, work, and life.

Why it matters:

  • It breaks down the difference between working for money vs. making money work for you.
  • Teaches the importance of financial education 
  • Encourages thinking like an investor and entrepreneur, not just an employee.

After reading this, you’ll never look at a 9-5 the same way again.

Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

This one’s a classic. It was written in the 1930s, but it still holds up. Hill studied some of the most successful people of his time—like Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford, and Thomas Edison—and laid out the mindset and principles they all had in common.

Why it matters:

  • It teaches you how powerful your thoughts and beliefs are when it comes to success.
  • Introduces the idea of definiteness of purpose—knowing exactly what you want and going after it relentlessly.
  • Shows how persistence, faith, and a strong desire can literally change your reality.
  • Teaches you the principles. Success really does start in your mind.

Atomic Habits by James Clear

This one brings it all together. You’ve got the financial mindset from Kiyosaki, the vision and drive from Hill—and Atomic Habits shows you how to build the daily habits to actually make things happen.

Why it matters:

  • Focuses on small changes that lead to big results over time.
  • Teaches you how to break bad habits and build good ones without relying on motivation alone.
  • It’s insanely practical. You can apply what you learn immediately.

Clear makes it super easy to understand why habits matter and how to make them stick. If you want lasting change, this is your guide.

Final Thoughts

These three books work together like a power trio: mindset, money, and habits. They will give you tools to level up your life. If you're serious about getting out of a rut, building something for yourself, or just becoming more intentional—start with these. You won’t regret it.
