Any recommendations?

I'm primarily looking for books on self-development in general (but especially regarding finance, real estate, investment - making money basically ahah)

That being said, any book(preferably non-fiction) that about anything that is life changing-level worth reading and learning is also good i.e. psychology, philosophy, history, mathematics, science, poker, chess, magic tricks, hell car maintenance like legit anything that's at a crazy level of worth readingness in your opinion.

Keep in mind I'm not really looking for books for pure enjoyment - I have plenty of those already :) there kinda has to be some functional benefit I would gain (i.e. knowledge)
This is mostly to foster personal growth and expand my world view tbh, and I'm sure there are people here who could recommend some things


Anyways, much appreciated

You said you don't want pure enjoyment books, but isn't something like chess going to be for enjoyment (unless you plan on going pro)?

i meant something along the lines of a fiction book you read for a good story, rather than something instructive like a chess book

The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham

Also have a read of the 80/20 Pareto Principle (on the internet) if you haven't

Honestly, self-improvement books are really useful, but it gets up to the point where you learn nothing new, and there's nothing else good to read :p

I was exaggerating a bit, but there is nothing useful to learn.
