Naval Ravikant: "As with most non-fiction, the meat was in the beginning."

Warren Buffett: "This book is something of a publishing miracle—never advertised, yet year after year selling many thousands of copies from its Internet site."

Keith Rabois: "The Skin in the Game book is quite powerful, albeit often redundant."

'Thinking in Bets' helps us understand what it actually means to make a decision, because decisions and outcomes are different things."

Michael Mauboussin: "An awesome book"

Marc Andreessen: "Compact guide to probabilistic domains like poker, or venture capital.

Best articulation of "resulting", drawing bad conclusions from confusing process and outcome. Recommend for people operating in the real world."

Howard Marks: "Thinking in Bets talks about how to systematize our thinking about making decisions under uncertainty because that's what we do as investors, just like poker players or gamblers"

Max Levchin: "One of the takeaways I found most relevant to business is that you should not conflate the quality of your judgement with the ultimate outcome of an initiative."

The Dao of Capital mixes (rather, unifies) personal risk-taking with explanations of global phenomena. You cannot afford not to read this!”

Patrick O'Shaughnessy: "I just read this book again, my third time.

It is dense, but its central idea will likely cause you to question your investment strategy in SOME way, which is always valuable."

Paul Tudor Jones: “Investors of all kinds will find immeasurable value in this convincing and thoroughly researched book where Mark champions the roundabout.

Using thought-provoking examples from both the natural world and the historical world, The Dao of Capital shows how a seemingly difficult immediate loss becomes an advantageous intermediate step for greater future gain, and thus why we must become ‘patient now and strategically impatient later.’”

Anthony Pompliano: "Always a great read from the best performing hedge fund manager in 2020."

Patrick O'Shaughnessy: "An older book, but a wonderful history of our concept of risk.

This is a valuable read for any serious investor out there (and an enjoyable one for casual investors)."

Michael Mauboussin: "Traces the path of the intellectual understand of risk. A must read."

Howard Marks: “Bernstein talks in this book about the development of the science of probability and how the concepts of probability permitted us to get involved in transferring risk from those of us who want to avoid risk to those of us who are willing to take it – and I think that that is an essential concept.”

I always learn something, and that goes double for his book."

One of Bill Gurley's recommended books for learning the basics of investing.

Shane Parrish: "It seems that throughout history we, as a people, forget that sources of trouble that are small can have huge implications.

We forget that leverage makes us fragile. Just when we think we’ve figured out the world and reduced it to an equation based on empirical evidence, it changes and lights a tinderbox."

Michael Mauboussin: "[Secrets of Sand Hill Road] is great!"

Sam Altman: “I’ve observed thousands of founders and thought a lot about what it takes to create something important and to achieve outlier success.

Kupor’s book takes founders who want to do both through everything from how VCs raise money and evaluate deals, to how to think about term sheets and set up boards.

It’s a valuable resource for any founder who wants to work with VCs.”

Paul Graham: "If you want to understand how venture capital works and the effect it has had on the US economy, this is the book to read.

Lots of people talk about VC. Few of them understand it. But Mallaby does."

My role has been that of general contractor."

It is a top five investing book of all time. It will make you question all or large parts of your investing philosophy. It is an absolute classic."

Nassim Taleb: "I closed this book feeling that it was the first book in economics that spoke directly to me.

Not only that, but the astonishing simplicity, realism, and relevance of the subject makes it the only general work in finance I've ever read that seemed to make sense."

Nassim Taleb: "I've read the book at several stages of my career as it shows the staying power of good down-to-earth wisdoms of true practitioners with skin in the game.

This is the central document showing the heuristics that real-life traders use to manage their affairs, how people who do rather than talk have done things.

Twenty years from now, it will still be fresh. There is no other like it."

Raoul Pal recommended 'Market Wizards' on Twitter.

One of the books Bill Ackman asked his newly-hired analyst to read before joining Pershing Square.

Patrick O'Shaughnessy: "Buffet is one of the best writers in the history of investing; his mastery of the analogy as a means to explain complex concepts is without parallel.

I’ve read every one of his shareholder letters cover to cover, but this sequential compilation by Lawrence Cunningham is the best way to read Buffett’s endless points of wisdom."

Not all correct (in my view), but still worth reading."

Andrew Wilkinson: "Ten years ago, I read Ramit's book, 'I Will Teach You To Be Rich'. One key thing stuck with me:

Saving is about percentages, not dollars. 0.1% negotiated off your home mortgage or car loan interest is 10x more impactful than cutting out $4 lattes."

Lots of stranger than fiction episodes about the madness of men. It is short and sweet."

Patrick O'Shaughnessy: "No investing education is complete without a healthy dose of history.

It was one of the best chapters in an investing book that I’ve ever read."

Michael Mauboussin: "John Burr Williams published “The Theory of Investment Value” in 1938.

Chapter 15, 'A Chapter for Skeptics,' feels contemporary and is a useful read for all investors who are unconvinced of the utility of a discounted cash flow model."

Michael Mauboussin: "Peter Bernstein's book, Capital Ideas, made a huge impact on me.

A wonderful telling of how many of the big ideas in capital market theory developed.

Highly recommend this one."

It also indirectly explains why most self-help books fail, how context is important, and asks you to be more introspective."
