A list from @naval talks/podcasts and tweets.
It’s mainly for my personal usage when I’m buy new books (or ordering some from the library).
- Poor Charlie’s Almanac: The Wit and Wisdom of Charles T. Munger. This one is the biggest book (for real) you will have in your library. Find a special and strong shelf for it.
- Sapiens : A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari. I wrote about here in the past.
- The Power of Now : A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle (@EckhartTolle)
- The Sovereign Individual : Mastering the Transition to the Information Age by James Dale Davidson
Incerto Series by Nassim Nicholas Taleb (@nntaleb): All 5 books are great but not an easy read. I had to re-read some parts in the books again and again and I’m still not sure I got to the bottom of the idea(s).
