First published in 1934, Security Analysis is a seminal work in the field of finance that lays the intellectual foundation for value investing. The book, written by Benjamin Graham and David L. Dodd, distinguishes between investing and speculating, emphasizes the importance of thorough financial analysis, and introduces key concepts such as the 'margin of safety. ' The sixth edition includes commentary from leading Wall Street money managers and a foreword by Warren E. Buffett, who has praised the book for its enduring relevance in modern markets.

In this book, Daniel Kahneman takes readers on a tour of the mind, explaining how the two systems of thought shape our judgments and decisions. System 1 is fast, automatic, and emotional, while System 2 is slower, effortful, and logical. Kahneman discusses the impact of cognitive biases, the difficulties of predicting future happiness, and the effects of overconfidence on corporate strategies. He offers practical insights into how to guard against mental glitches and how to benefit from slow thinking in both personal and business life. The book also explores the distinction between the 'experiencing self' and the 'remembering self' and their roles in our perception of happiness.
