Studies show that 88% of the world's wealthiest people spend at least 30 minutes a day reading. If that works for them, it certainly works for you.
According to CNBC, here are some popular personal finance books that could help you get rich in the coming year.
1. Business Adventures by John Brooks

Wealthy people tend to believe that business is the quickest way to make money. This book will teach you how to do that, but not in the traditional way. It's also a favorite book of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.
"Unlike many business authors today, Brooks doesn't offer 'how-to' lessons or superficial explanations of success," Gates said. "You won't find lists in this book. Brooks writes lengthy articles on a topic, delves deep into it, presents compelling figures, and shows the reader how what he writes applies to those specific situations."
The fact that it was published in 1969 doesn't mean the book is no longer valuable. Gates says that while the business environment has changed considerably, the foundation for a strong business remains the same.
2. The book "The Little Book of Common Sense Investing" by John C. Bogle
One of the most effective ways to build wealth is through investing, if you do it right. Bogle, the founder of the Vanguard Group and the creator of the world's first index fund, details the simplest and most effective investment strategy in this book – pouring money into low-cost index funds.
Legendary investor Warren Buffett once said that this is a book every investor, big or small, should own a copy of.
3. The Essays of Warren Buffett by Warren Buffett and Lawrence A. Cunningham
This is a book of over 700 pages, compiling the business, investment, and life philosophies of the Sage of Omaha. It will help you understand everything about this investment legend.
4. Tools of Titans by Tim Ferris
What does it take to become a billionaire? Tim Ferris's latest work will help you understand the daily habits of celebrities, professional athletes, fund managers, and many other individuals. To do this, Ferris interviewed more than 200 people considered to be of the highest caliber in the world.
5. Be Obsessed or Be Average by Grant Cardone

To become wealthy, you must learn from those who have already done it. Sales millionaire Grant Cardone understands this very well. He built five companies from scratch and amassed millions of dollars in assets.
In his latest book, he emphasizes that if you want to truly succeed, you must always be driven, focused, and obsessed. Cardone holds many unconventional views, such as not wanting to buy a house or put money into a retirement account. However, these strategies helped him go from being penniless at 25 to a millionaire by 30.
6. The Power of Broke by Daymond John
The renowned investor from the startup reality show Shark Tank transformed FUBU into a $6 billion brand, starting with just $40. Throughout his business journey, he faced numerous rejections and losses.
However, being broke has at least one great benefit: it stimulates creativity and unconventional thinking. He explained this in his book. John advises against throwing away opportunities for success and wealth just because your bank account is low. Consider it an advantage.
7. You Can Negotiate Anything by Herb Cohen
If you want to earn more in 2017, the simplest, yet often overlooked, way is to negotiate a raise. If you're too worried about approaching your boss to ask for it, read Cohen's book. It will help you get what you want and deserve.
