Unc's Reading List
The reading list my millionaire uncle recommended I read to get ahead. These are all books he read when he was trying to "make it."
Notes From UNC by Zeek (His Nephew)
My millionaire uncle has been mentoring me for over 25 years. He has taught me several valuable lessons from his life and the life of his friends. I have taken all of his thoughts and put them into a nice ebook for you to enjoy. This book is a great piece to have.
"Psycho-Cybernetics" by Maxwell Maltz
Unc called this "the book that taught me how my brain actually works." It's about self-image and how you can't outperform the picture you have of yourself. He said most people fail because they haven't updated their internal programming. This book showed him how to reprogram his self-image to match his goals.
"The War of Art" by Steven Pressfield
Unc gave me this when I kept talking about ideas but never executing. It's about resistance - that voice that stops you from doing the work. He said every successful person he knows had to beat resistance daily. This isn't motivational fluff. It's about showing up even when you don't feel like it.
"The Richest Man in Babylon" by George S. Clason
Unc made me read this twice. It's written like ancient parables but the money principles are timeless. Pay yourself first, make your money work for you, don't confuse income with wealth. He said this book contains everything you need to know about building wealth, just written 100 years ago.
"As a Man Thinketh" by James Allen
Super short book - you can read it in an hour. Unc said it's the most concentrated wisdom on mindset he's ever found. Your thoughts shape your reality. Your circumstances are the outward reflection of your inner world. He re-reads it every year to reset his thinking.
"The Greatest Salesman in the World" by Og Mandino
Unc isn't a salesman but he said this book taught him how to sell himself on his own goals. It's about habits, persistence, and self-discipline disguised as a story. He said the scrolls in this book are basically a manual for reprogramming your daily habits.
"Lead the Field" by Earl Nightingale
This one's actually an audio program turned book. Unc listened to it in his car for months straight. It's about personal development and goal-setting. He said Nightingale breaks down success in a way that makes it sound simple - because it is. Most people just overcomplicate it.
Unc called this "the cheat code nobody uses." It's about how your subconscious mind runs 95% of your life and how to program it. He said once he learned to plant the right thoughts before bed and first thing in the morning, his results changed faster than he expected.
"The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" by Joseph Murphy
"The Science of Getting Rich" by Wallace D. Wattles
Short book from 1910 about wealth creation. Unc said it taught him that getting rich is a science, not luck. There's a formula. Think in a certain way, act in a certain way, and wealth follows. He said most people never learn the formula so they just guess their whole life.
"Acres of Diamonds" by Russell Conwell
Unc gave me this after I kept chasing shiny objects. It's about a guy who sells his land to search for diamonds, only to find out his land was full of diamonds all along. Unc said most people are standing on their fortune but keep looking elsewhere. Opportunity is closer than you think.
