1. It Takes a Genome: How a Clash between our Genes and Modern Life is making us Sick by Greg Gibson.
   

   In It Takes a Genome, Greg Gibson posits a revolutionary new hypothesis: Our genome is out of equilibrium, both with itself and its environment.

   Simply put, our genes aren’t coping well with modern culture.

   Our bodies were never designed to subsist on fat and sugary foods; our immune systems weren’t designed for today’s clean, bland environments; our minds weren’t designed to process hard-edged, artificial electronic inputs from dawn ‘til midnight. And that’s why so many of us suffer from chronic diseases that barely touched our ancestors.

4. Investing in Neglected Stocks by Scott Phillips.
   

   Many years ago, Sir John Templeton offered some straightforward words on investing: “If you find one dozen analysts who all advise to purchase the same stock, you can be sure that the stock will not be a good purchase.”

   His point, of course, is that popular stocks often represent poor investments since their prospects have already been well recognized….

6. Winners Never Cheat: Even in Difficult Times by Jon M. Huntsman. Rated 4 stars on 23 reviews.
   

   Jon M. Huntsman built a $12 billion company from scratch, the old-fashioned way: with integrity. There were short-term costs and difficult decisions. There were tough times. Times just like today. But ultimately, leading with integrity wasn’t just personally right for Huntsman, it also proved to be the best business strategy.

   In Winners Never Cheat, Huntsman tells you how he did it, and how you can, too.

It fascinates me that there are two books from such wildly differing authors about getting rich on today’s list -

1. Psych Yourself Rich is from Farnoosh Torabi who’s billed as ‘One of TV’s rising new personal finance stars’. She’s basically famous for telling people on TV how to get out of debt.
2. Winners Never Cheat is written by Jon Huntsman who’s a self-made billionaire. He was once the 47th richest man in the US and has given over $1.2 billion to charity.

If you take the ’10,000 hours to master something’ rule and look around you – There are a surprising number of ‘experts’ in nearly every field who don’t have mastery. Yes, they’re better at selling themselves – However, all that does is put the more sellable person in the role of advice-giver instead of the best qualified person. We’re encouraging mediocrity.

Consider this -

how to develop the mindset, discipline, and habits to grow wealth and achieve your goals on your own term – without fear, anxiety, misery, or too much sacrifice.

Farnoosh Torabi combines the latest approaches in behavioral psychology with a disciplined attitude to help you psych yourself into a place of financial well-being.

You’ll learn how to build a healthy view of money, investing, wealth, and aspirations…get beyond “lend-and-spend” to a deeper, more holistic view of money

A deeper, more holistic view?

Are we talking about getting rich or Whole Foods?

Contrast it with -

Jon M. Huntsman built a $12 billion company from scratch, the old-fashioned way: with integrity.

There were short-term costs and difficult decisions. There were tough times. Times just like today. But ultimately, leading with integrity wasn’t just personally right for Huntsman, it also proved to be the best business strategy. 

In Winners Never Cheat, Huntsman tells you how he did it, and how you can, too.

Obviously ‘without fear, anxiety, misery, or too much sacrifice’ is far more appealing than ‘short term costs and difficult decisions and tough times’. We’ve gotten so good at telling people what they want to hear that we’ve forgotten reality. You can’t just psych yourself into becoming rich – besides the book is written by someone who should be giving advice about how to get a TV show to help people with debt problems.
