The
Reading List

The books, tools, and links that underpin every principle on the channel. Solomon said wisdom is worth more than silver — start here.

Wealth & Money

Books on
Financial Wisdom

📕
Personal Finance · Season 1
The Richest Man in Babylon
George S. Clason
Ancient parables about money that read like lost chapters of Proverbs. The principles of paying yourself first, living within your means, and making money work — told through Babylonian merchants.
📗
Personal Finance · Season 1
I Will Teach You to Be Rich
Ramit Sethi
The most practical modern framework for automating your finances. Cuts through the noise and gives you actionable systems. Pairs perfectly with the episode on why your money needs a master plan.
📘
Investing · Season 1
The Psychology of Money
Morgan Housel
Exactly what Solomon understood — wealth is more about behaviour than intelligence. This book explains why smart people make terrible financial decisions and how wisdom corrects it.
📙
Investing · Season 1
The Little Book of Common Sense Investing
John C. Bogle
The argument for index funds — boring, consistent, time-tested. This is slow money made practical. The financial version of Proverbs 21:5.
📕
Mindset · Seasons 1 & 5
Rich Dad Poor Dad
Robert T. Kiyosaki
A framework shift more than a how-to — assets vs liabilities, and why your beliefs about money shape your results. Read critically and take the mindset, not the specific advice.
📗
Debt & Budgeting · Season 1
Your Money or Your Life
Vicki Robin & Joe Dominguez
Reframes money as life energy and asks whether your spending reflects what you actually value. The analytical version of Proverbs 27:23 — know the condition of your flock.

Work & Discipline

Books on
Discipline & Craft

📘
Discipline · Season 2
Atomic Habits
James Clear
The science behind why small consistent actions compound into identity change. Everything Solomon described with the ant — systematised and made practical for modern life.
📕
Deep Work · Season 2
Deep Work
Cal Newport
The ability to focus without distraction is becoming rare and increasingly valuable. This is Proverbs 4:25 — let your eyes look straight ahead — applied to the knowledge economy.
📗
Craft & Excellence · Season 2
Mastery
Robert Greene
How mastery is built — through deep practice, mentorship, and the long game. Proverbs 22:29 made biographical. The person who excels in their work will stand before kings.

Leadership & Character

Books on
Leadership & Character

📙
Leadership · Season 4
Extreme Ownership
Jocko Willink & Leif Babin
Radical personal accountability — the opposite of the excuse culture Solomon warned about. Every failure starts with the leader. Proverbs 16:3: commit your work to the Lord.
📕
Character · Season 5
The Road to Character
David Brooks
A meditation on building inner virtues rather than résumé virtues. The difference between achievement and character — which is exactly Season 5's entire thesis.
📗
Wisdom · All Seasons
The Bible — Book of Proverbs & Ecclesiastes
Solomon
The source. The NIV translation is recommended for clarity. Read one chapter of Proverbs a day — there are 31. Do it once a month and you will read it twelve times a year. Solomon's wisdom is inexhaustible.
