Hand-picked books to help you master finances and life in Canada
Principles by Ray Dalio
Recommended by Anna
"This book teaches you how to build a system for thinking and making better decisions."
*Principles* is Ray Dalio’s guide to making better decisions in life and work—especially when things feel uncertain or overwhelming. Drawing on decades of experience building Bridgewater Associates, one of the world’s most successful hedge funds, Dalio shares a set of simple, repeatable principles that anyone can apply, regardless of background. At its core, the book encourages you to face reality as it is, be honest with yourself and others, and build habits and systems that help you move forward consistently, rather than relying on luck, emotion, or ego. Through personal stories, real mistakes, and practical frameworks, *Principles* offers a clear way of thinking for navigating complex decisions, starting fresh, and getting more out of life.
Never Split the Difference
Recommended by Anastasia
"Learn how to negotiate anything with practical tips and techniques."
*Never Split the Difference* by Chris Voss, a former FBI hostage negotiator, breaks down the psychology of high-stakes negotiations and applies it to everyday situations. Unlike traditional negotiation advice that focuses on compromise, Voss teaches you how to use tactical empathy, mirroring, and calibrated questions to influence outcomes in your favour. Through real-life FBI case studies and business examples, this book provides a practical, battle-tested approach to mastering the art of persuasion.
