Most of us are interested in self-improvement of one type or another. Whether it’s about health and fitness, becoming a better leader or how to gain control of personal finances, we all want to grow and get better in at least a few areas of our lives. That’s why reading these informative books can help tremendously. 

As management guru, educator and author, Peter Drucker, once said, “Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes.”

Reading about new perspectives can help challenge old ways of thinking and increase your knowledge — especially when it comes to money. There are a lot of great “how to” money and personal finance books out there. To help you narrow down the choices, we’ve put together this recommendation list:
