BroKon Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Non-fiction: Einstein - Walter Isaacson Fiction: The Three-Body Problem - Liu Cixin - I don't normally read science-fiction but this trilogy was very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
investmd Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Above suggestions of Thinking in Bets & Education of a Value investor are books I have enjoyed. For 2019, my most interesting reads were: Fiction : A gentleman in Moscow - read the whole book with a bemused smile on my face. Favourite line : when protagonist was asked what his profession was he replied "It is not the business of gentlemen to have professions". Non Fiction: Deep Medicine by Eric Topol - role of AI in healthcare of tomorrow and LifeSpan: Why we Age and Why we don't have to by David Sinclair - leading Harvard biologist on why ageing is a disease and how it can be treated.

bci23 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I don't understand peoples love for Thinking in Bets. Maybe its because I come from a poker background myself but I found it very elementary and basic even as applied to investing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamecock-YT Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I'm sure many have already read it but I really enjoyed Damn Right: Behind the Scenes with Berkshire Hathaway Billionaire Charlie Munger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perulv Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I agree with A gentleman in Moscow. Can't really explain why, but it was different from most books I've read, and I wish there were more like it. Another favorite in fiction: Machines like me non-fiction: The Gene: An Intimate History Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kab60 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Merger Masters - really cool because the journo, through Gabelli, gets direct access to some hotshots that goes into pretty great detail on their proces Spider Network and Black Edge also pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocSnowball Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 The practice of adaptive leadership: Tools and tactics for changing your organization and the world - Ronald A. Heifetz, Marty Linksy, Alexander Grashow https://www.amazon.com/Practice-Adaptive-Leadership-Changing-%20%20Organization/dp/1422105768/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1417455266&sr=1-%20%201&keywords=practice+of+adaptive+leadership https://cambridge-leadership.com/our-insights/ The market is an expensive place to find oneself, as wise ones have said. This book greatly helped me develop self-awareness, and develop a leadership course for medical students while at it. A must read for aspiring leaders and those interested in understanding self and diagnosing and impacting systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocSnowball Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Education of Value Investor Read this in 2016 and truly loved it. Didn't stop me from going through the earlier phases, but made it interesting to observe and reflect on what was happening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing.

tede02 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Washington: A Life by Ron Chernow. Longest book I've read at 800+ pages of very dense reading, but it was amazing. The book persuaded me that George Washington may be the single most important person in American history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boilermaker75 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Washington: A Life by Ron Chernow. Longest book I've read at 800+ pages of very dense reading, but it was amazing. The book persuaded me that George Washington may be the single most important person in American history. I've read two of Chernow's books, Hamilton and the House of Morgan. Both superb. My daughter fell in love with the play Hamilton seeing it several times including taking me once. So I gave her a signed first edition of Hamilton. She reciprocated by giving me all Chernow's other books. I was thinking Washington would be my next one. I got to go see Chernow interviewed by Brian Lamb. Chernow started it by rapping one of the songs from Hamilton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
