Are money management and investing books helpful?

I’m sure anyone that’s gone to a book store like chapters has seen that there are entire shelves dedicated to books about money management, investing, and the like. My question is, has anyone read any of those books, like guides to investing, and has anyone had a positive experience and been able to apply some of the things they’ve learned from what they’ve read? Or are the books just shams?

I’ve read heaps of finance books. You just need to find one that suits your investment style. I read a lot about property, because that’s what I’m interested in, and I put into practice a lot of what I read. I’m paying my home loan off in 5 years thanks to finance books.

They aren’t all a sham. Some are, but go to your library and choose a few. Some are very good.

    It’s probably a good idea to research the author of the books you’re referring to, seeing that you may decide whether you’ll attempt to be even a bit receptive to the information they share. Doing this helped me to actually become more savvy than some of the writers’ who’s work I’ve read and gave me insight on how much work, discipline, and focus I had to have to change the way I thought about finances and wealth building.
