Book Recommendations for Undergrads

**Original post in IB Forum but figured this forum would be more beneficial

Currently a rising sophomore that plans on entering the financial services industry 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 business students interested in a finance career? Can range from books that provide industry insights to advice or anything finance in general. Just looking for recommendations on what would be beneficial for an undergrad to read. Thanks in advance!
