3. Poor Charlie's Almanack (Charlie Munger) Read for: Learning how to think differently about wealth. I love his "Mount Rushmore" strategy. You don't have to be the smartest, you just have to give the most attention.

Biographies of billionaires teach you more than self-help business books. Here are my 5 favorites:

1. Built from Scratch (Home Depot Founders) Read for: Learning how to disrupt an industry. Marcus & Blank were fired from Handy Dan. Then they noticed a gap in the system...

You needed a contractor's license just to buy basic supplies. No one could access professional materials. Their solution? "If you can save a customer money, do it." They removed all middlemen and took the DIY market from $35B to $365B.

2. Elon Musk (Walter Isaacson) Read for: Learning how to think bigger than everyone else. While others ask "What would you do if you couldn't fail?" Elon asks, "What would you do even if you knew you would fail?" Then does it.

He talks about the mental model that helped build Berkshire Hathaway: "Invert, always invert." Instead of asking "How do I succeed?", ask "How do I ensure I fail?" Then do the opposite.

4. Steve Jobs (Walter Isaacson) Read for: Learning to pursue perfection through details. Jobs had a "reality distortion field," where if you were in his proximity, you felt you COULD achieve the impossible. I love this story from the book:

His philosophy: "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." He had engineers sign inside every first MacBook. No customer would see it. But it created ownership.

5. Sam Walton: Made in America Read for: Learning true customer obsession. Sam never sought fame. • He flew beat-up planes to visit stores • Talked to frontline workers, not execs • Carried a tape recorder everywhere

He built the world's largest retailer on 3 principles: • Customer obsession: "Only customers can fire the boss" • Cost consciousness: Stayed at Motel 6 • Relentlessly studying competitors
