Realistically I'll never get close to the amount of money the likes of these super rich have.

But I can try.

What books would you recommend for my journey on getting there.

I don't need MOTIVATION books like the one on the picture but general educational worth while reads what can improve your skills.

Any suggestion ?

7 habits of highly effective people
The art of war

books related to the field you want to get rich on

If you want to get rich you need to specialise, jack of all trades don't make bank

I'm still trying to figure out what to specialise in.I am in construction but I want out of it.
I was thinking of getting into investing.Stocks then real estate are sort of my short term plans but I also need to get my bankroll up to actually start up these plans.

The Odyssey.
Study the sophists.
Plato's Complete Works.
Aristotles' Logic and Rhetoric.
Basically, become a modern day sophist and you're good to go, social skills have always been and will most likely keep being the best way to become rich and powerful.

Ive been looking at that sort of stuff lately.

I found this website full of social skill information
http://changingminds.org/techniques/techniques.htm

And this a breakdown of how to win friends and influence people
https://labs.thesocietea.org/carnegie-chart/

Are these worth reading

Why are you so interested in controlling other people's minds?

I don't want to controll people or come across as being manipulative.I had them books saved because they just seemed interesting useful and good for negotiating and sales.
