Poor Charlie's Almanack
Recently re-published by Stripe. It's a collection of Charlie Munger's talks. Although it did get repetitive (many of his talks cover similar topics and ideas), I really enjoyed reading about his mental models. It's the last chapter.
Almanack of Naval Ravikant
Collection of Naval Ravikant's writings, tweets, etc. Talks about achieving happiness and wealth.
SaaS Playbook
Very practical book for SaaS founders. Contains all the fundamentals. Good read for most WIP members I think.
A Man for All Markets
Autobiography of Edward O. Thorpe who invented the first blackjack card counting system to beat the casinos. Later also beat the market with clever trading techniques. Really interesting person and book.
Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography
Everyone knows Benjamin Franklin. If not for being one of the USA founding fathers, you've seen him as the face of the $100 dollar bill. Other than that, I didn't know much about him. But after @oskarth recommending me his autobiography I've developed a lot of respect and intrigue into this businessman, politician, scientist, inventor and more.
Currently reading:
Benjamin Franklin: An American Life
The autobiography was really interesting and left me for wanting more. So I'm now reading the biography written by Walter Isaacson.
Weird fun fact: When my psych stats professor made tenure, he taught us how to count cards in blackjack, since it's all statistics anyway.
I used that to pay off over $80,000 of my student loans, so it's easily the most valuable thing I learned in all 5 degrees. Anyway, I'm too chicken to drive to Vegas and count there since I'm pretty sure I'll end up in the desert 😆
Anyway, I'm currently reading "Gilgamesh in the 21st Century: A Personal Quest to Understand Mortality"
I prefer either long-form articles or long-form (3+ hours) video essays, and I've been binging content on Star Trek, world building, Dark Souls, game design, game mechanics, branding, and storytelling.
I almost exclusively consume long-form content, though.

Give that professor a raise!what an interesting story. Did you play in local leagues?
I think I listened to all Naval podcasts several times. I definitely need to buy myself an "Almanack of Naval Ravikant." He inspires me always.
