The Missing Link was a great read on personal finance and I read it as part of the Personal Finance class I took. It covers the a-z of personal finance and touched upon every part of one's financial journey, from getting your first credit card and your credit report to buying a car and choosing the right life insurance. Highly recommend it.

The most useful class I had taken at UC Berkeley. Will re-read this book before graduating from medical school.
