In Pedro Cortes’s words:
To get a good a fulfilling career I believe you need to balance money with your mindset and personal life and for those, I would again recommend the 4hww (to question the 9-5 life), F.U Money (to turn your beliefs about money into good ones), Ego is the enemy (to keep the ego in check), So good they can't ignore you (to adopt the mindset of a craftsman and mastery instead of passion) and Predictably Irrational to be aware of the irrational things you and other people can do so you can adapt to them instead of living your entire life being blinded by them.

It's hard to choose on the non-business side but probably "Play it away" by Charlie Hoehn as it helped me keep a more peaceful and restful mind while forcing myself to schedule time for "play". I've had a bad case of anxiety in High School and the book gave me a process to bring me back to a more playful mind every time I tend to be more anxious (which is very under control now).
