"I'm currently reading a book called The Mind Management, which is based on the chimp paradox. It goes into detail about how the brain works and how to control it.

Currently, I am re-reading the richest man in Babylon. It is one of my favorite books, and I try to read it once a year. It shares ancient principles of handling money, it is amazing how those principles hold true today.

This book sounds very interesting. If possible, consider trying to relate the principles to the position you are interviewing for in some way. You want to take advantage of every opportunity to bring the topic back to why you are the best candidate for the position.
