Useful stock book but extremely dry and repetitive
Reviewed: 01-09-22
The author is clearly knowledgeable about top tech stocks and has useful information however the book is extremely dry and repetitive. A lot of going over figures and charts (although the audio did not come with any pdf or charts?). A lot of the points the author made about Amazon, Netflix, Facebook, and Google seemed rehashed. Is it really that difficult to understand why these companies are considered high-quality? It seems this book was 2-4 hours longer than it should have been.

Story
It's true that Maria Konnikova had never actually played poker before and didn't even know the rules when she approached Erik Seidel, Poker Hall of Fame inductee and winner of tens of millions of dollars in earnings, and convinced him to be her mentor. But she knew her man: a famously thoughtful and broad-minded player, he was intrigued by her pitch that she wasn't interested in making money so much as learning about life.

Interesting story about getting into poker
Reviewed: 01-07-22
Got some good insight into the psychology of the game. The book was a bit long, the author sometimes went off into tangents making some chapters unnecessarily long. The book didn't flow as well as it should have. Reading this book more for psychology rather than the game, I do appreciate the author's thought process and her ability to describe her surroundings/interactions.

Story
Billionaire investors. If we think of them, it’s with a mixture of awe and suspicion. Clearly, they possess a kind of genius - the proverbial Midas Touch. But are the skills they possess transferable? And do they have anything to teach us besides making money? In Richer, Wiser, Happier, William Green draws on interviews that he’s conducted over 25 years with many of the world’s greatest investors. As he discovered, their talents extend well beyond the financial realm.

A book that made me feel less alone
Reviewed: 12-31-21
This book definitely gave me a feeling that I am doing things right as a long-term investor of individual stocks. It takes a lot of quirks/unusual characteristics to be a great investor - you are going against the crowd a lot of the time, you are a misfit. Being an investor can be lonely, the majority of people don't invest or do it extremely passively. Thank you William Green for writing such a well-written book.

Story
Over the past 40 years, Tom Stanley and his daughter Sarah Stanley Fallaw have been involved in research examining how self-made, economically successful Americans became that way. Despite the publication of The Millionaire Next Door, The Millionaire Mind, and others, myths about wealth in America still abound. Government officials, journalists, and many American still tend to confuse income with wealth.

An overall solid book about investing
Reviewed: 12-31-21
I was not disappointed with this book although if you read The Millionaire Next Door, This book didn't really add a great deal from the original imo I kind of view this book as a recap of the original, with some up-to-date stories, statistics, and facts.

Story
Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Great book for investing
Reviewed: 12-31-21
This is a must-read book for beginning investors - easy to read, concepts are really easy to understand, focuses on the psychology and philosophy of money. Investing is so psychological, this book helps you understand that with good story-telling and lots of good examples.
