Personal Development
Hi Fellow Monkeys,
I am trying to build up a list of resources for everyone on Wall Street Oasis to share. As I look at the forum, there are a lot of resources on getting a job in Finance. I believe that everyone is attracted to Finance, other than having a genuine interest in the market, is to obtain happiness. To most of us, we have somewhat of a notion that money can solve majority of our problems.
To me, to be happy, requires a holistic approach at looking at every part of life and slowly improving all areas: wealth, career (Wall Street Oasis is in this area), health, spiritual (hobby) and relationship (dating, family). It took me a year to look into all types of books and websites and I have complied this list so far.
I would love to hear it from my fellow Monkeys, regarding resources (books or websites) that target these areas of life: wealth, career, health, spiritual, relationship. I will be publishing the new list once I sort and collect the resources that you guys have suggested. Thanks in advance.
Warmest regards,
sxh6321

I can't really pin down on something so I just put spiritual. It can mean lifestyle, interesting reads online, fashion, philosophy, psychology, and so forth. Great idea. I will further break it down in my new list. Thanks for your input.

I just checked out marcandangel.com and the bookboon link... Hundreds of free business books in PDF form.
I was trying to figure out how they were "free" and found almost all are made by the same publisher and they all have several 1 page advertisements in them. I'm fine with that.. pretty big book list.
