You can always just take it and work. Even at this moment... But what if you could work easier, faster and smarter?

…What if all you need to do is discover new knowledge?

It is for this reason that I collected it 41+ best books, which will help you work more productively.

Read on.

How are these books selected?

First of all… I giggled. I'm not such a financial book expert that I know ALL the really useful books on the subject. I looked for recommendations in Lithuanian forums, pages, portals, blogs... I went to Facebook groups and... I asked for recommendations.

I had in the end 400+ books the list. I then checked it out on Goodreads and Amazon review platforms - do these books have good reviews? Are they really good?

These are the best productivity books left.
