Books That Must Be Included In Your Reading List, College Tips

If you must know, the most successful people are used to reading several books in their entire lives. So as a college student, you should start forming this habit as well.   

We understand that you already have a lot of books to read considering the lessons and lectures that you have to memorize. But you shouldn’t confine yourself to those reading materials only. In fact, we highly encourage that you look for books outside the academe so you can widen your bank of knowledge.  

If you do not have an idea which books to buy, we have here a quick list that can help you.

Brain Rules  

It’s critical that we understand how our brain works. This so we can manage ourselves, and at the same time, manage the expectations of other people. 

We’re not saying that you have to please everyone. But if you go out there and try to close business dealings, knowing how the brain functions could help you get more transactions.  

This is a great book not just for college students, but also for those who are already managing their own business or running a team.  

Personal Investing: The Missing Manual  

We’ve already mentioned that you have to manage your finances right now.  

When you are already well-versed on that specific topic, it’s about time that you understand personal investing. Even if you earn a large sum of money, if you don’t know how to invest, you will eventually lose it. And that is why we highly recommend that you understand the principles as early as now.  

When you’re reading books outside of the academe, just try to enjoy it. Perhaps, allow yourself 15 minutes per day to read a few pages from your book. This is good for starters and you will become wiser when it comes to dealing with your college life – and the rest of your life.
