My journey to becoming a dividend growth investor was a very long and arduous one. I have been following the stock market for years, but didn’t really gain an understanding of it, until a few years ago. The following books helped me to learn about investing from people who are practicing it and are successful at it. I then used the lessons from these books to craft my own dividend growth strategy, that is unique to my investment goals and objectives of living off dividends in retirement. The books that shaped me as an investor include ( in no particular order):
Stocks for the Long Run : The Definitive Guide to Financial Market Returns and Long-Term Investment Strategies, by Prof Jeremy Siegel
The Ultimate Dividend Playbook: Income, Insight and Independence for Today's Investor, by Josh Peters
The Dividend Rich Investor: Building Wealth With High-Quality, Dividend-Paying Stocks, by Joseph Tigue
The Single Best Investment: Creating Wealth with Dividend Growth by Lowell Miller
One Up On Wall Street : How To Use What You Already Know To Make Money In The Market
Beating the Street, by Peter Lynch
Beating the Street, by Peter Lynch
Stop Working : Here's How You Can!: Using the Strategy of Canada's Youngest Retiree, by Derek Foster (Check my review of the book)
The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life, by Alice Schroeder
Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits (Revised Edition), by Philip Fisher
The Intelligent Investor: A Book of Practical Counsel by Graham, Benjamin
Damn Right! Behind the Scenes with Berkshire Hathaway Billionaire Charlie Munger, by Janet Lowe
In the future, I plan on posting my reviews of these books to my site. Please check the post as it would likely expand over time, and would also include links to my book reviews.
Personal Finance Focused Books

Rich Dad Poor Dad, by Robert Kiyosaki
Your Money or Your Life: Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Achieving Financial Independence, by Joe Dominguez

In addition, I would also encourage you to check the Warren Buffett investing resource page, which includes links to his shareholder and partner letters, plus notes from Berkshire’s shareholder meetings.
