The Business and Financial Success Anthology from the Morgan James Module offers over 150 books about practical economic topics. The seven curated collections make it easy to access information about the specific topics you need, whether it is advice for your business’ finances or information on how to publish your own book. All of the high-quality books are available with unlimited, multi-user access, so it is easy to share your favorite read with a friend. Read more about some of our favorite finds from this collection below.
1. Homeownership
As a homeowner who also runs a contracting business, I was excited to get my hands on the books in the Homeowning Collection. These books let me see real estate from a different perspective. I’ve recommended these books to friends of mine who are looking to buy or sell their homes.
2. Money Solutions for You
Personal finance is an important but intimidating topic. Luckily, Morgan James provides over 30 books on the topic. As a father of a growing family, the advice found in these pages was integral to my outlook on how to manage our money. There are even books that discuss how to handle money when it comes to parenting that my wife and I read together.
3. Bettering Your Work
I’m always looking for ways to be a better employee. This collection had a plethora of books to scour, with nearly 80 titles full of ideas on marketing, on leadership, on confidence, on sales and more. Whether you’re just starting out in your professional life, or you’re a seasoned veteran of your field, there’s something to be learned from these books.

How to Become a Newer, Better Self BY ALLIE McKINNEY
Reinventing yourself is no easy task. In grade school, a simple change in clothing style or sitting at a different lunch table was enough to radically change the external and internal perception of who you are. It’s a lot more difficult to create change without the closet social structure of school. However, these books provide fantastic tips on how to weed the negativity out of your life so you can become the best version of you. One thing I particularly enjoy about the Morgan James SelfHelp Anthology is the diversity of approaches to changing oneself. There’s at least one book for the struggling alcoholic, one for the struggling romantic, one for the survivor of
trauma and one for the dieting foodie. No matter how you approach personal change, there’s a title to help you take the next step.
One of my favorite books is Behavior Change: A View From the Inside Out. This book offers simple, practical advice on how to make change. The advice focuses on getting to the root of the problem, so whether you want to change your appearance or your emotions, the process outlined will be helpful. It makes it easy to recommend this book to a friend in search of change, even if our problems are different.
