Written by Benjamin Graham, 'The Intelligent Investor' is a seminal work on value investing that has inspired millions since its original publication in 1949. The book emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between investing and speculation, calculating the intrinsic value of companies, and maintaining a margin of safety. The revised edition includes updated commentary by Jason Zweig, who provides modern examples and insights to help readers apply Graham's principles in today's market. Warren Buffett, a disciple of Graham, has praised the book as 'the best book about investing ever written'.
In 'The Psychology of Money,' Morgan Housel delves into the psychological and emotional aspects of financial decisions. The book consists of 19 short stories that illustrate how personal history, worldview, emotions, and biases influence financial outcomes. Housel emphasizes the importance of behavior over knowledge in managing money, highlighting the power of compounding, the dangers of greed, and the pursuit of happiness beyond mere wealth accumulation. He advocates for a frugal lifestyle, long-term perspective, and a balanced approach to investing, stressing that financial success is more about mindset and discipline than about technical financial knowledge[2][3][4].
This book provides an unprecedented look into the life and investment philosophy of Warren Buffett. Written by Alice Schroeder, who gained unparalleled access to Buffett and his inner circle, it delves into the complexities and paradoxes of Buffett's life. The book covers his work, opinions, struggles, and triumphs, and highlights key principles such as intrinsic value, margin of safety, and long-term perspective. Buffett’s legacy is not just his wealth, but the principles and ideas that have enriched people’s lives.
