How to Get Rich is a great book. It's a fun read and is not at all scammy in the way it's title might imply.

And I just noticed that Felix Dennis has a new book out. 88 THE NARROW ROAD. To quote from that: "Tunnel vision helps. Being a bit of a sh*t helps. A thick skin helps. Stamina is crucial, as is the capacity to work so hard that your best friends mock you, your lovers despair and your rivals and acquaintances watch furtively from the sidelines, half in awe and half in contempt.

Self-confidence helps, but can be simulated or acquired along the way. Tenacity is an absolute requirement. Luck helps, but only if you do not waste time seeking it,"
