At Working Man Finance, we believe that financial independence starts with mental independence.
Over the years, many of us have been shaped—sometimes unknowingly—by programming, propaganda, and indoctrination coming from the media, education systems, and even government institutions.
The books listed below have been valuable tools in helping people think critically, challenge assumptions, and see the world through a different lens.
Important Note: Some of these books present viewpoints that are considered controversial or unconventional. Sharing them here is not an endorsement of every idea they contain.
Instead, these works are offered as food for thought—resources that may help you break free from the narratives that often limit independent thinking.
As always, I encourage you to approach any book with discernment, do your own research, and form your own conclusions.
