I Will Teach You to Be Rich
by Ramit Sethi
Staff Pick
Ramit Sethi's I Will Teach You to Be Rich is a personal finance book that just might actually deliver on its promise. Sethi covers the big stuff — saving, budgeting, and investment — but he offers concrete recommendations (e.g., which online savings accounts offer the best interest rates) and breaks down intimidating tasks into manageable steps. The best part, though, is Sethi's attitude toward his reader: he comes across like a well-informed friend, one who gives sound advice but isn't afraid to smack you upside the head if you need it.

Shop Class as Soulcraft: An Inquiry into the Value of Work
by Matthew B. Crawford
Staff Pick
One of the most engaging, thought-provoking books I've read in a long time. Matthew Crawford has delivered an accessible, carefully reasoned examination of work and America's evolving ideas about it, addressing a host of important subjects — for example, how we prepare young men and women for the workforce, in terms of both education and the values we assign to labor. Whether you work with a computer (that'd be me) or power tools, Shop Class as Soulcraft will get you asking important questions about what you put into your job and, maybe more importantly, what your job gives back.
