Books on budgeting, investing, retirement planning, and building wealth
Profit First, reissued by Portfolio in 2017, presents Mike Michalowicz's counter-intuitive financial framework for small-business owners: take profit out first, then operate on what remains. Drawing on case studies, step-by-step guidance, and Michalowicz's characteristic humor, the book is designed to replace the conventional revenue-minus-expenses accounting model with a behaviorally driven system built around predetermined profit percentages. This review is based on published sources and the book's documented contents — not hands-on application of the method.

Eric Jorgenson's The Almanack of Naval Ravikant compiles over a decade of entrepreneur and investor Naval Ravikant's wisdom — drawn from tweets, podcasts, and essays — into a structured guide covering two central pillars: building wealth and finding happiness. Originally published in 2020 and now reissued in a second edition by Authors Equity (September 2025), the book features illustrations by Jack Butcher and a foreword by Tim Ferriss. It is designed to serve as both an entry point and a reference work for readers at any stage of life, translating Ravikant's first-principles thinking into accessible, consolidated form.
