One of my favorite portions of Anarchaforko was the book discussion held by @mwolfe13
As someone on the prowl for worthwhile new books to consume as a way to continue learning and growing, I found Mackenzie's book-sharing group deeply rewarding.
This particular group really embodied the participatory nature of the fork, as a microphone was passed around and forkers were asked to name the 2-3 most influential books in their life. This exchange of impactful literature was a memorable experience that has stuck with me since the fork took place. In fact, if anyone has the full list of books from the event, I would be really grateful!
I've begun listening to the audiobook of Robert Kiyosaki 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' and it's already changed my perspective
I believe it was @sovereignbtc who mentioned this as being one of his most influential books, and I can certainly see why. Although I'm only 5 chapters in, the section on defining what an asset and liability are has blown my mind.
As someone who thinks they are reasonably financially literate, I now realize I was still not fully aware of certain fundamental aspects of money. For the record, an asset is defined as anything that increases your wealth while a liability costs money.
Similar to the paradigm shifts present in Tim Ferris's seminal work 'The Four Hour Workweek', 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' is full of useful perspective-changing information. It's a book I have had on my radar for some time now, and thus far it has not let me down. In terms of the self-help/personal development genre, this is definitely a must-read, especially for individuals looks to increase their understanding of money and wealth.
I look forward to tackling another Anarchaforko-recommended piece of literature :)
For those interested in listening to the book on tape, it's available on youtube.
