The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel
I read this
book in 2021. Housel compares the academic side of investing to human
nature. In other words, comparing theoretical to practical. I agree
with Morgan’s definition of the value of money, the ability to manage
your time.
Women & Money by Suze Orman
I read my first Suze
Orman book back in my early twenties. She is a big fan of financial
planning. This book is great for anyone who is starting to invest and
covers a lot of the behavioral reasons of why we shy away from
managing our finances.
How to Retire Rich by James O’Shaughnessy
I bought this
book because of the title make no mistake. I believed Jim’s strategy
was very straight forward and easy to copy. Based upon my
inexperience, I couldn’t understand the biases and pitfalls at that
time, but it made me a believer in the concept of quantitative analysis.
Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell
I am a fan of
Malcolm Gladwell books. I made my teenage boys read this one because
our society is so quick to judge, and social media campaigns get
traction so quickly that little consideration is given to the other
point of view.
Wealth of Wisdom by Tom McCullough
This is a series of
essays on a variety of topics from different professionals. I read
these types of books out of order. I start at chapter 1 and then move
to the last chapter and end in the middle.
