Want financial freedom? This book list from Dave Ramsey is worth copying.

Financial guru Dave Ramsey has compiled a list of 10 must-read books, and the core logic is simple: to make money, you first need to change your mindset.

His private material "The Total Money Makeover" discusses the 7-step method, which is the most practical—starting with saving $1,000 for an emergency fund, all the way to paying off the mortgage early and achieving financial freedom. This methodology has already helped countless people turn their lives around.

The other 9 books are not self-help either:
- Covey's "The 7 Habits" teaches you time management (this is productivity)
- Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" discusses the mindset of top millionaires.
- Jim Collins' "Good to Great" is specifically written for those who want to start a business.
- Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People" teaches you how to network and get promoted.

There's another detail: Ramsey even got his own daughter involved in writing a book called "Smart Money Smart Kids," the core idea being – if you learn financial management when you're young, you won't have to rely on your parents for support when you grow up.

In simple terms, the logic of this reading list is: **first change your mindset, then change your actions, and finally change your destiny**. It is not a quick wealth guide, but a long-term asset building guide.
