Books

"Superforecasting" delves into the techniques of exceptionally accurate forecasters, highlighting the value of probabilistic thinking, ongoing updates based on new information, and learning from past experiences to improve prediction accuracy.

"Meditations" offers insights into the stoic philosophy through the personal writings of Marcus Aurelius, reflecting on virtues, mindfulness, and resilience. Useful for living a more disciplined fulfilled life.

"Winning on Wall Street" breaks down the strategies and insights of successful investment approaches, focusing on market psychology, financial analysis, and the importance of timing for achieving superior investment results. In my opinion, techniques explored are too strictly defined.

"Mans Search for Meaning" presents a profound exploration of survival and resilience through the author's experiences in Nazi concentration camps, underscoring the significance of finding purpose in all forms of existence, even the most brutal ones, as a key to psychological survival.

I usually don't read fiction, but this book was special. "The Alchemist" tells the story of a young shepherd on a quest to find a worldly treasure, revealing the importance of listening to our hearts, recognizing opportunity, and learning to read the signs along life's path to fulfill our dreams. 

"The Theory of Poker" outlines fundamental poker strategies and theories, emphasizing the importance of decision-making based on incomplete information and the psychological aspects of gameplay to maximize long-term winnings. Lessons taught were largely intuitive, however useful nonetheless.

"The Psychology of Money" explores how personal beliefs and behaviors surrounding money influence financial decisions and outcomes, advocating for a greater understanding of one’s own psychological drivers to achieve long-term financial well-being. Lessons taught rather basic.

Offers advice on how to navigate and manipulate power structures to gain, maintain, and defend one's position of influence. I feel this book is largely outdated and assumes all games are zero sum which isn't true. Also quite unethical in many of its teachings. I would recommend Meditations instead.

Delves into the power, prosperity, and poverty by examining political institutions across countries, arguing inclusive institutions lead to success while extractive ones result in failure. I found this book is largely great, however survivorship bias plagues much of the writing regarding "successful nations."

A look at the crucial role that sleep plays in our lives, detailing the scientific and health-related implications of sleep deprivation and highlighting the profound benefits of a good night’s sleep for brain function, health, and longevity. Quite eye-opening and changed my perspective on sleep.

Offers practical advice on building a diverse investment portfolio tailored to individual financial goals, emphasizing the importance of understanding market trends, risk management, and the value of long-term investing strategies. This book is better for non-advanced financial readers.

This book delves into Goggins' continual personal growth and improvement, despite success. It highlights personal stories on embracing challenges and learning from failures. Great book, but I would recommend Goggins' previous book (Can't Hurt Me) more, although both are great reads.

One of the best books I've read. This book masterfully showcases the extraordinary life and mental toughness of Goggins, offering motivational lessons on overcoming obstacles, pushing beyond perceived limits, and harnessing the mind's potential to achieve seemingly impossible goals.

Challenges conventional self-help advice, advocating for a counterintuitive approach to living a better life by focusing on what truly matters and letting go of superficial concerns. This book could be summarised in one page.

"King, Warrior, Magician, Lover" reintroduces the concept of archetypes in the male psyche, suggesting that understanding and integrating these foundational patterns can lead to a more balanced and fulfilling expression of masculinity. A good book for "finding oneself."

Offers detailed insights into options trading strategies and pricing, emphasizing the critical role of volatility in the valuation process and providing traders with the tools to manage risk and capitalize on market movements. Good for theory, but not very practical.

"The Art of War" is a timeless treatise on strategy and tactics that offers wisdom on understanding and navigating conflict, emphasizing the importance of adaptability, knowledge, and planning in achieving victory without unnecessary conflict.

"Extreme Ownership" advocates for taking full responsibility for every aspect of life and leadership, illustrating through combat experiences how principles of ownership and accountability can lead to success in any team or organization. Amazing book and great principles to live by.

"Atomic Habits" emphasizes the transformative power of making small changes, detailing how the accumulation of tiny improvements can lead to remarkable results in personal and professional life by focusing on habit formation and behavior change. A few good lessons, but largely not concise.

"Principles" by Ray Dalio shares the set of rules for decision-making that the author developed during his career as a successful investor and entrepreneur, focusing on radical truth, radical transparency, and the idea that the best life decisions are made from a synthesis of diverse viewpoints. Great life advice.

"How to Win Friends and Influence People" offers strategies for effective communication and relationship building, teaching readers how to make others feel valued, handle conflicts wisely, and influence others positively to foster personal and professional success. Lessons are largely intuitive.
