1/ After reading, or listening to, roughly 50 books during 2021, here’s a list of my 12 favorites (no particular order) 💭📚👇🏼
2/ This Taleb classic was on my 2020 list as well, but since I re-read it I couldn’t resist including it this year, too. It makes you both humble and skeptical (meaning; the good kind of skeptical).
3/ I really liked the first volume of @farnamstreet's The Great Mental Models. If you want to achieve what Munger calls worldly wisdom, this is a great primer on lots of important areas. I’ll read the following two volumes this year!
4/ The word “comprehensive” describes this book well. If you want to study the actual business history of $BRK, this has to be the best way. And even though I haven’t gotten through all of it (~800 pages), the time periods I’ve visited so far is enough to put it on this list.
5/ Another modern classic! I can really see why this book has been such a hit. I think it’s a really interesting idea to carefully carve out X number of key principles to live (or invest) by, and then sticking with them.
6/ This horrible yet beautiful life story of growing up in a Mormon family really got me hooked right from the start. It’s both entertaining and humbling.
7/ I wouldn’t call this an investing book tbh, and think the title is a bit misleading. It’s rather a collection of mental models collected from a number of different disciplines, that are in a way applicable to investing as well. A really interesting read!
8/ This really hit home with me. About thinking long-term (both in investing and in life), about being a lifelong learner by studying the very best and being curious, and about staying healthy. It’s about much more than investing.
9/ This timeless psychology classic covers six almost ancient mental tricks/biases (depending on which side you are on..), which are elegantly explained by real world examples. I can see why Munger gives this book away a lot. A must-reed for everyone!
10/ The Nick Sleep chapter alone is worth the purchase price for this beautiful collection of investor portraits, easily. Green is a real investing nerd, and it shines through the whole book.
11/ After this book, my first from Mauboussin, I can’t wait to devour the rest of his bibliography + his many papers. The first half of this should almost be required reading for fundamental investors.
12/ Even though I’m not sure if aiming for a 100-bagger is a good strategy in practice, this was a really interesting read at the beach this summer. And there’s definitely lessons in here that are applicable on “regular multibaggers” as well!
13/ This book is about the importance of finding calm, inner peace, in today’s noisy world. Ancient philosophy lessons are blended with examples from today, in a beautiful way. I love it!
