It’s becoming something of a running theme that many of my new investing-related reads originate from listening to a Talking Billions episode. This time it was The Everywhere Millionaire by Owen Zidar and Eric Zwick.

I recently listened to The Joys of Compounding: The Passionate Pursuit of Lifelong Learning by Gautam Baid following the audiobook release mid last year. It’s a wonderful book that I can’t recommend highly enough, both to investors and generalists alike.

People approach money in very different ways. Some find it hard to save; others find it hard to spend. For some who are more pressed for free cash, the choice doesn’t exist at all. Money can be a tool for happiness or a source of stress depending on how it’s managed, or how much power you allow it to hold over you.

Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds by Charles Mackay is a book I’d heard referenced countless times but had never got around to reading.
