Best books to learn Financial advising, in order
Financial advising reads best as a career arc: understand the work and whether guiding people's money and emotions suits you, then the investing knowledge and licensing exams (and the CFP path) that let you practice, then the day-to-day of building trust and a client base. Reading in order builds durable skill. But the securities licenses, the CFP marks, and regulatory requirements are the real gate; books build the knowledge, they don't confer the license.
