Beginner Book List Update
Making it easier to share
In mid 2023 I made a post on what books I would recommend myself read if I was just starting out again. This was a list targeting what gaps I had personally. It may be applicable to you, it may not.
I have decided to keep updating the list as I read additional books. You can find the Google doc here. As well, I’m going to pin this post to the home page of my Substack. Please feel free to share it with others.
Thanks for reading. Your support is appreciated.

Another fine book not on your list: "Extraordinary Popular Delusions And The Madness Of Crowds". Written in 1849, the prose feels modern. The original book has about 700 pages, the first 100 about financial panics which had already happened by 1849: Tulipmania, the South Seas Bubble, the French bond bubble of the early 1700s. The other 600 pages are about all manner of foolishness- alchemy, the Crusades (all 8!), and others.
The short edition you get on Amazon is usually just the financial panics. Reading the stories gives such a fine sense of how bubbles work and what it is like to be caught up in one.
''Know thyself – how to get behind the psychological side'' Agree this is so overlooked and I can only talk for myself obviously and this is my focus this year.
