University of Berkshire Hathaway carries the subtitle 30+ Years of Lessons Learned from Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger at the Annual Shareholders Meeting. It could just as easily have been titled 30+ Years of Common Sense Lessons in Successful Investing.

It’s getting a bit difficult to break out of the Audible algorithm at the moment. Even though I’ve been branching out across different categories, whenever I come across new books through podcasts the recommendations still tend to pull me back towards investing.

I decided to give Pathfinders by JL Collins a go.

I can’t even recall what originally prompted me to buy The Richest Man in Babylon, although I suspect I heard it referenced either in an investing book or on one of the many recommended reading lists I’ve come across over the years.

I became familiar with Robert Hagstrom a good few years ago now, taking a particular liking to his books The Warren Buffett Way and Investing: The Last Liberal Art. Recently, through the The 100 Year Thinkers podcast, I’ve become reacquainted with him so to speak, as part of the monthly show he participates in with Bogumil Baranowski and Matt Ziegler.

On a recent episode of Talking Billions, Bogumil interviewed Richard Oldfield, who referenced his book Simple But Not Easy a couple of times during the conversation. I enjoyed the episode and, by association, tend to hold Bogumil’s guests in reasonably high regard

I’ve mentioned The Investors Podcast network before when reviewing Richer, Wiser, Happier, and The Intrinsic Value Podcast sits under the same umbrella while maintaining its own dedicated feed.

Among the podcasts I listen to regularly, Talking Billions hosted by Bogumil Baranowski is one of the more recent additions, although it’s been a good few months now since I discovered it. In that time, it’s quickly become one of my favourites.

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.

Off the back of 100 Baggers, Rule Breaker Investing by David Gardner popped up in my Audible recommendations. I’ve never really developed the habit of regularly checking The Motley Fool or listening to its podcasts, but I decided to give this a try anyway as sometimes the medium makes all the difference.

I’ve previously written about Nick & Zak’s Adventures in Capitalism. Although 100 Baggers by Christopher Mayer extends the focus to analysing what makes a 100-bagger, it has a similar underlying theme of patience and long term holding.

I listen to The Acquirers Podcast, hosted by Tobias Carlisle on a weekly basis, so when he announced he had a new book coming out, I was happy to check it out. He’d already discussed its core thesis on his own show as well as in a We Study Billionaires interview, but even with that preview, I underestimated just how much of a valuable read Soldier of Fortune would turn out to be.

Nick and Zak’s Adventures in Capitalism could easily be described as a memoir in discipline, conviction, patience, and an almost zen-like comfort with inactivity. That last part may need a little explanation unless you’re already familiar with Nick and Zak’s investing philosophy.

This is one of the few instances where I’m reviewing both a book and its accompanying podcast in the same post, however in the case of Richer, Wiser, Happier by William Green, it feels only natural. The two complement each other so perfectly that separating them seems inappropriate.
