Investing the Last Liberal Art
- Ignore everything else on the list and come back when you've read this.
- If it's slow going (it's dense as anything), dip into "Thinking, fast and slow" at the same time.
- Yes it's about investing. Which is, at it's core, about making decisions in a non-familiar domain without the luxury of the time to become an expert. Basically the same core description of being in software. It teaches how to look at a problem and simplify enough to make a good (not perfect) decision. Then follows up with details on constructing hueristics so that the learning can be carried forward.
- There is another book than this called "Poor Charlies Almanac" by Charles T Munger, but that can only be ordered direct from the mom 'n pop publisher in the states. You can also find his various speaches on the internet.
Thinking, Fast and Slow
- Excellent book that digs into thinking and learning.
