Nick and Zak’s Adventures in Capitalism could be considered a memoir in discipline, conviction, patience and complete comfort with inactivity. The last part may require qualifying unless you have any existing familiarity with Nick, Zak or Nomad and their investing approach. As successful investors Nick and Zak excel in a trait that is almost counter to most people’s human nature, which is their completely comfortable in ‘doing nothing’ in the sense that if their investment thesis is working, they’ll continue as is without the need to interfere with the beauty of compounding just for the sake of ‘doing something’.

This will probably be one of the rare instances where I review and recommend a book and podcast in the same post however given the nature of Richer, Wiser, Happier by William Green and the accompanying podcast it makes sense to combine into one.
