Morgan Housel · 2020
The best personal finance book ever written — and it barely talks about money. Housel explains why behaviour matters far more than knowledge when it comes to building wealth. Essential reading before you invest a single rupee.
Buy on Amazon IndiaMonika Halan · 2018
The definitive personal finance manual for Indian households. Covers insurance, mutual funds, emergency funds, and retirement in plain Hindi/English. Written specifically for the Indian context — no US-centric advice here.
Buy on Amazon IndiaJL Collins · 2016
A letter from a father to his daughter about money. The core message: low-cost index funds, keep it simple, stay the course. The US context doesn't always apply directly, but the philosophy is universal.
Buy on Amazon IndiaPeter Lynch · 1989
Lynch ran the most successful mutual fund in history for 13 years. This book explains his stock-picking philosophy — and why most retail investors would be better off in index funds anyway. Insightful, funny, and still relevant.
Buy on Amazon IndiaRobert Kiyosaki · 1997
Controversial but formative. The core lesson — assets put money in your pocket, liabilities take it out — is genuinely useful as a mindset shift. Read it critically; the investment advice is not for everyone.
Buy on Amazon IndiaDaniel Kahneman · 2011
Not a finance book — but required reading for any investor. Kahneman, a Nobel laureate, explains the cognitive biases that make us terrible investors. Understand System 1 and System 2 thinking to avoid costly mistakes.
