Books

"Walk into a wealthy person's home and one of the first things you'll see is an extensive library of books they've used to educate themselves on how to become more successful" - Steve Siebold.

Steve Siebold has interviewed more that 1,200 of the world's wealthiest people and in the process has become a self-made millionaire himself. In his research, he noticed a pastime the rich have in common - they self-educate by reading.

When asked what superpower they would most like to possess, both Warren Buffet and Bill Gates answered "speed reading". Reading is essential in order to emulate those who are successful.
