Book suggestions
Afternoon All
I am hopefully coming to the end of my final AF5 exam for Chartered in April and assuming I pass, rather that hit the traditional study books that I have done for 10 years, I would like to now look at other types of reading on a professional and personal basis.
My thoughts so far from a professional perspective and that I have seen others mention:
- Beyond the 4% rule (Abraham's book)
- The range of Nick Murray books out there
- Advice that sticks 'Moira Somers'
- Meaningful money handbook
- Don't sweat the small stuff Richard Carlson
- How to win friends and influence people - Dale Carnegie (don't know why just always wanted to read this)
What books would you recommend both professionally and personally, I am open to any suggestions. Perhaps we could all post a few to build up a library for everyone?
Have a good weekend all!

A couple of books I've recently finished are
Atomic Habits by James Clear
The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande
Both were very easy to read and offered some good ideas.
I've read all the books by the guys at Basecamp and made lots of changes over the years as a result. The two at the top of this list are probably the most useful but all four are worth it IMO.
Paraplanner. F1, Apple, Nutella, ice cream. No trite motivational quotes. Turning a bit northern.
A couple worth looking at - The Trusted Advisor (Maister, Green and Galford) and 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (Covey).
7 Habits is on my reading list to go through again this quarter too. Really rewarding read.

Currently in our paraplanner 'library':
Lots of great suggestions. I would also add:
Not financial planning related but all have had a profoundly positive effect on the way I work and how much I get done.
