I recently bought two books in my quest to make more money and live the good life. The first book was Freakonomics by Steven Levitt. I've had my eye on it for the longest time, but I was always too lazy to go and get it. It's pretty interesting. It's a more.. practical take on economics, as applied to every single thing under the sun. It's a very funny read.
The other one is The Intelligent Investor, by Graham. This is the book Warren Buffet read about the stock market when he was 19, and it sure worked for him. It's not really technical though, more of an emotional guide to it. But what makes a smart investor? The technical know-how, or emotional discipline? A little of both, and make no mistake, you need them both.
I don't really know if these two books will help me make money in the long run. But I can appreciate the new knowledge, new ideas, and new perspectives. I'd say it's money well-spent. Let's see if I can make some of it back.
