It is my requirement to read several pages every day.
In 22, I spent about 64 hours and read 93 books.
There seems to be a lot of books, but when I made a summary, I found that there were only 13 favorite books.
Among them, there are six books about financial investment-
No.1 "The Most Important Thing of Investment", written by Howard Max
This is a retreat book, which talks about the concept of value investment, not real skills and methods.
After reading many excellent investors' books and speeches, I found that you must have a correct concept and a good attitude before investing.
No wonder many bloggers recommend reading this book before investing.
After reading it, I was deeply impressed.
I also made a rule for myself-I will read this book at least once a year as long as I am still investing.
Yes, it is such an important book.
In the process of reading, I will reflect on my own investment experience or adjust according to my own state.
This book will have such a miraculous effect-
When you are impetuous, see if it can calm you down;
When you envy others, see if it can calm you down;
When you doubt whether you will persist or not, see if it can help you regain your confidence ...
Investment needs psychological massage from time to time, and this book can just give me psychological massage.
NO.2 "Civilization, Modernization, Value Investment and China", by Li Lu
Li Lu is a fund manager appreciated by Charlie Munger, and he has a unique aspect in value investment. Unfortunately, this book does not reflect his investment system.
But I still like this book very much, especially the first half about human civilization and modernization.
The viewpoint provided by the author is not necessarily correct, but it provides me with an alternative perspective, which I have never thought of or touched before.
In fact, investment is about the future. What kind of mentality should we hold for the future, whether it is pessimistic or optimistic, confident or not, we must first think about the past.
And the existence of this book just allows me to think about the past and the future from more angles.
NO.3 "Successful Investment in Peter Lynch" by Peter Lynch
This is another investment classic worth reading again and again.
Peter Lynch is an excellent professional investor, and his performance is still outstanding after several stock market crashes.
The most important thing is that what he said in this book is "human words", and people with little investment foundation can understand it in minutes.
And he is almost teaching an ordinary person how to choose stocks, when to buy and sell, how to understand corporate financial reports and investment strategies, and so on.
It's rare for me to find an excellent fund manager who has nothing to hide, and gives everything to teach investment knowledge and skills. He is the only one I have seen so far.
If you have a stock account, you might as well read this classic first, instead of speculating on it yourself. It took a few hours.
NO.4 "The Richest Man in Babylon" by George S. klassen
This is a pamphlet of fables, which is very easy to read and very easy to read.
It seems nothing new, but it tells the true meaning of financial management and the law of wealth-
Work hard and make more money;
Save at least 1% of your income every month;
Living within our means, spending should be less than income;
Don't bear any consumer debt (mortgage is not a consumer debt), if it exists, pay it off as soon as possible;
Learn to invest to increase and maintain the value of assets;
Finally, give yourself and your family a guarantee for the future ...
It's simple, right? But there are still many difficulties, among which self-control is the most difficult.
NO.5 "A Tale of Children with High Financial Proficiency" by Emma Shen
This is another short book, which is very suitable for adults and children to read together. In fact, I think it's totally okay for adults to see for themselves.
The book not only talks about the basic knowledge of financial management, but also talks about how to cultivate children's financial quotient, and also reveals the author's view on parenting. I think it's quite worthy of reference and reference.
In fact, the sooner you learn and accumulate this thing, the better. Unfortunately, there is no such thing in the textbook, and teachers will not impart knowledge in this field. At this time, the role of parents is very important.
Whether financial quotient is good or not has a great influence on a person's life.
If you are free, you can observe the people around you, carefully feel the difference between good and bad people in financial business, and then have a good feeling. I won't go into details here.
NO.6 "Understanding Financial Statements with Common Sense of Life", by Lin Mingzhang
In order to understand the company's financial statements, I taught myself the basic knowledge of accounting, but when I got the company's annual report, I still couldn't understand the information that the data inside wanted to reveal.
I really know all the words, but I don't know what I said.
This book uses a very simple life metaphor to help you understand three financial statements.
I have to say that the author is still very powerful, but what was originally boring was written by him very interesting.
Unfortunately, the author is from Taiwan Province, China. There are only two books written by him in the mainland, and one is not easy to buy.
He usually teaches people to read financial reports by giving lectures, and I don't know where to listen to these courses. If you know anything, please let me know.
The above are the books about financial investment that I read and liked very much last year.
Here are six books that I like very much except financial investment-
No.7 "Hard Manufacturing" and "river of no return" by Anai
"river of no return", which tells the stories of state-owned enterprises, township enterprises, self-employed individuals and foreign-funded enterprises in the 2 years before the reform and opening up, making me feel that as if I had experienced it personally.
After reading it, I have a little understanding of that period of history, and I have different thoughts on different types of enterprises-
Why do township enterprises disappear when they develop?
Why do employees and cadres in state-owned enterprises feel so good about themselves?
Self-employed people really survived in that era. How many people can understand the difficulties?
Hard Making should be regarded as a sequel to river of no return, but it doesn't have a strong sense of connection.
This book mainly talks about the survival of manufacturing industry in the gap between policy and market during the 1 years from 1998 to 28-
Why do many bosses prefer to buy houses rather than open factories?
Why is it so difficult for the manufacturing industry to survive?
Why is the shanzhai so blatant but nobody cares?
Look at this book and feel the story of that era. It seems far away from our life, but it is not far away.
NO.8 "Old Things in the South of the City" by Lin Haiyin
This is a book that is very suitable for reading on weekends.
Find a sunny place, pose in the most comfortable position and spend the afternoon quietly. It won't make you regret it.
Every short story in it is interesting and touching, and often has an endless aftertaste. I have to admire the author's aura.
NO.9 "Gentleman of Moscow" by Emmer Toles
"If one cannot control his own destiny, he will be controlled by it."
I like this sentence in the book very much.
This is a novel about Russian aristocrats, which is light and sweet and comfortable to read.
I especially like the hero in the book. I was almost shocked by his calmness, calmness and elegance in the face of imprisonment.
This is the real gentleman. He has the nobility in his bones. Even if he is stuck in the mire, he will still maintain his character as an aristocrat.
I like this attitude!
NO.1 "Life is up to me", by Meyer Musk
This is an autobiography of a character, telling Meyer's tough life, which is quite inspiring.
To tell the truth, sometimes we really need to look at other people's tough lives to cheer ourselves up.
NO.11 Anthropology in the Kitchen, by Tzu-I Chuang
My little friend likes to eat scallion noodles, which was taught to me by this author.
In fact, there are not many recipes in this book, and it is not convenient for me to cook them at home.
However, the author's experience of learning to cook and practicing in a star-rated hotel is still very informative.
NO.12 "Shark's Fin and Pepper" by Fuxia Dunlop
It never occurred to me that I would be interested in Chengdu because of a Sichuan cuisine story written by a foreigner, and I really wanted to go there in person to eat and feel.
Under the author's description, I even started to accept Zanthoxylum bungeanum, which is not very cold. It's really incredible!
Friends who like delicious food, this book is really worth reading.
That's all for today's sharing. Call it a day!
