What To Make Of A Life
I was slightly surprised when listening to a recent The Tim Ferriss Show episode featuring Jim Collins to hear about his new book What to Make of a Life. My association with Collins has always been through books like Good to Great and Great by Choice, which are firmly rooted in the world of business.
Poor Richard’s Almanac
Considering it was first published in 1732 and consists entirely of one line aphorisms and short reflections; Poor Richard’s Almanac contains wit and wisdom that remains remarkably relevant to this day.
Embracing Hope
Periodically I re read Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl, yet until recently I’d never ventured into any of his other books. I’m not entirely sure why, given the value I seem to take from Man’s Search every time I revisit it. Regardless, I’m glad I broke the pattern when I picked up Embracing Hope during a recent visit to the local bookstore.
Soul In The Game: The Art of a Meaningful Life
As any avid reader will know, there are periods where it becomes surprisingly difficult to find something new worth reading.
I’d been in one of those stretches recently when I came across an interview with Vitaliy Katsenelson on the Excess Returns podcast.
I’ve read a number of books on Warren Buffett over the years, covering both his life and his investment philosophy, particularly during his time at Berkshire Hathaway. Ground Rules may now be one of my favourites amongst them.
