After reading 100s of short and long ebooks,

We have shortlisted these ebooks every no-code learner should read:

I recently found out I'm going to be a father.

Here are the principles I want to teach my child to live by:

Be Interested

Talent is overrated—interest is not.

Interested people are prone to giving their deep attention to something to discover more about it.

They ask questions, listen, & observe. They open up to the world around them.

Being interested is a key to a fulfilling life.

Different is Beautiful

Growing up, I feared being different—I desperately wanted to fit in.

I made bad decisions grounded in insecurity.

I only realized later: being different is your edge—your ultimate competitive advantage.

No one can compete with you, at being you.

Work Hard

If you want to accomplish anything in life, you have to work hard.

Don't believe the hype. Hard work isn't the sexy, flashy Instagram posts saying "rise & grind”—it's the ugly, painful effort in the dark, when no one is watching.

If you want something, go get it.

Show Up in the Darkest Hour

It's easy to be there for people to celebrate their wins.

It takes character to show up for them in their darkest hour.

People never forget who supported them when the chips were down.

Be the friend who is always there—in good times and bad.

Learning myths #2: Learning formats 👇

Many believe that there are different types of learners

I.e. some people learn more effectively from visual material, some from auditory material and others from kinaesthetic practice

Therefore, instruction should be tailored to each learner’s preferred style (1/11)

Paul Howard-Jones (2014) suggested that this assumption is based on the fact that different regions of the cortex have different roles in visual, auditory, and sensory processing, so students should learn differently “according to which part of their brain works better” (2/11)

Yet, despite the popularity of the theory, there is ample evidence to contradict its validity (3/11)

Tesia Marshik (2015) gave an example of a study to test this.

Participants are given a list of words to memorise. They are either presented with the written list of words, with images of the words, or they listen to the words being read aloud (4/11)

It's the weekend!

Grab a cup of coffee, in this thread I will explain

1. Peter Lynch's Six Categories of Stocks
2. How to identify the type of stock you own?
3. How to think and decide about the runway for growth of a company?

Lets dive right in.

For those who do not know (I doubt there will be many), Peter Lynch is one of the most successful fund managers of all time.

He managed a fund called Magellan at US Investment Giant Fidelity Investments and during his 13 yr tenure, he delivered an average CAGR of 29.2%.

Sadly the fund couldn't keep up post Lynch's retirement and his successors weren't able to keep up with his returns.

That's how good Lynch was!

In 1989, a year before retirement, Lynch wrote and published a book called 'One Up on Wall Street'.

Almost 32 years later, the teachings of the book remain relevant.

(Highly recommended read)

Chapter 7 of the Book Titled
"I've Got It, I've Got It - What is It?"

talks about the need to classify stocks.

Peter's argument is that you need to know what kind of stock you hold in your portfolio.

Not all stocks are the same - and he is right!

Charlie Munger said that reading was the main reason for his success in life.

As a generalist, he reads about all kinds of topics.

I’m sure a List of Charlie Munger’s Book Recommendations is among the top 1% of lists you can get.

So here it is👇🏼

Influence - The Psychology of Persuasion by Robert Cialdini

Charlie Munger probably read enough on human psychology to become a professor himself.

His legendary talk at Harvard showcased this.

Robert Cialdini’s “Influence” was one of the books he learned from.

The Outsiders by William N. Thorndike Jr.

The Outsiders is about extraordinary CEOs who outperformed their peers by being radically different.

It’s an industry classic and recommended by Munger and many greats of the industry.

Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl

Viktor Frankl was an Austrian psychologist and Auschwitz (concentration camp) survivor.

Man’s Search for Meaning is Frankl’s autobiography and deals with his theory of “Logotherapy.”

A theory about finding meaning and purpose.

The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin was an inventor, scientist, writer and political philosopher.

Oh, he’s also kind of known for being one of the United States' founding fathers.

Franklin is one of the eminent dead teachers of Charlie Munger.
