There isn’t really one “best” finance book for everyone—it depends on what you want to learn.

If you want a simple and solid starting point, The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel is usually the top recommendation. It’s easy to read and focuses more on how people behave with money rather than complicated formulas. It helps you understand why people make good or bad financial decisions in real life.

If you’re just starting out and want basics, Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki is popular because it changes the way you think about earning and saving money.

For investing, a classic is The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham. It’s more detailed and teaches long-term, careful investing instead of quick gains.

And if you want something very practical and simple, The Simple Path to Wealth by JL Collins explains investing in a straightforward way without too much complexity.

If you just want one book to begin with, go with The Psychology of Money—it’s the easiest to understand and applies to almost everyone.
