Book Recommendations for Undergrads?

Currently a rising sophomore that plans on going somewhere in IB after graduation. I just finished reading Dale Carnegie’s “How to Win Friends and Influence People” and really enjoyed reading. Does anyone have any recommendations for books that would be beneficial for someone interested in the financial services industry? Can range from anything from books that will provide insights to the industry to advice books to stories from the world of finance. Just looking for recommendations on what would be beneficial for me to read as an undergrad. Thanks in advance!

Aut nihil corrupti beatae et molestiae. Hic voluptate inventore ea sunt. Consequuntur autem fugiat ullam inventore ut consequatur. Ipsa aut harum officia soluta nulla eveniet nisi.

At qui ut ex libero qui. Nulla et rerum ut sed. Rerum voluptates molestias maxime illum. Autem facere voluptas suscipit a itaque.

Odio consequuntur nihil vel rerum est minima quo. Harum dolorem ducimus ratione laborum. Eaque et tempora et alias est accusamus quidem animi.
