Start 2025 with Great Books! 📚 What’s on Your Reading List?

New year, new books! Let’s kick off 2025 by diving into some amazing reads. Did you come across any particularly great books in 2024 that you’d recommend to everyone?

Here are a few that really inspired me—each one unique and full of insights.

  1. When Genius Failed written by Roger Lowenstein

It’s an engaging and fast-paced story about risk, greed, and the rise and fall of a Wall Street giant—definitely not dry financial theory, but a captivating read you’ll finish in no time!

This book tells the dramatic rise and fall of Long-Term Capital Management, a hedge fund run by “geniuses” that still managed to crash spectacularly.

  1. The Essays of Warren Buffett written by Lawrence A. Cunningham

A collection of Buffett’s famous shareholder letters. It’s simple, direct, and full of practical wisdom about investing and running a business. Great for anyone wanting to get better at thinking clearly about money and business.

  1. Principles written by Ray Dalio

A mix of life lessons and work advice from one of the world’s top investors. Dalio’s approach to decision-making and solving problems is super inspiring and something you can use in your own life.

  1. The Intelligent Investor written by Benjamin Graham

If you’re serious about investing, this is the book everyone recommends. It’s all about value investing and how to approach the stock market like a pro. A classic for good reason!

  1. The Most Important Thing written by Howard Marks

Marks talks about investment in a way that makes you really think about risk and long-term decisions. His insights completely changed how I approach investing.

    Thanks for sharing these book recommendations! To be honest, I’m not much of a reader. I prefer watching videos, especially when it comes to topics like investing and personal growth. I find it easier to digest information through visual content, whether it’s about finance or life lessons. I spend time following investment channels that break down complex concepts into engaging, bite-sized formats.

    That said, I do recognize the value in books like "The Intelligent Investor" & "Principles" by Ray Dalio. The way you describe them makes me curious, especially how Howard Marks tackles risk and long-term decision-making in "The Most Important Thing." While reading isn't my usual choice, I can see how these books could deepen my understanding of investing strategies and decision-making.

    Maybe one day, I’ll pick up one of these books and see where it takes me. I never thought I’d get into reading, but a good recommendation could spark that interest. @Tiger_comments @TigerStars @TigerGPT

    Ancient Greek philosophy is the foundation of Western culture. Investment is a comprehensive interdisciplinary subject that combines economics, science, psychology, and politics. It is the practical application of philosophy.
    so I recommend the book, The Republic.

    Thanks for sharing this amazing books list. I will try to get a look. I would like to recommend 2 books that I read and love in 2024.

    1st is "The Psychology of Money" written by Morgan Housel. The book unfolds the truth of the money depending on our own habits and needs. It stated the importance of savings and investing with your own preference.

    2nd book is "The Diary of a CEO" by Steven bartlett , and I saw a lot of his speech or talk before I bought the book and read. It is very inspiring and I highly recommend to all of you.

    I used to read a lot of books in my younger days but now age is catching up with me. My eyes can’t focus on the words unless it is in a big print.
    Now I can only watch videos on TV or on my iPad to learn or obtain news about investments or anything which interests me.
    My favourite books are Harry Potter series by JK Rowling. It has kept me glued to it till I finished the book.
    If I could, I would read all the books recommended by you.

    Audiobook <The Most Important Thing> written by Howard Marks is on my 2025 Book List. This book talks about investment in a way that makes us really think about risk and long-term decisions. This is both a book on finance and self-growth. Thanks @Tiger_comments @icycrystal

    说到2025年的书单,我已经迫不及待地想开启新的阅读旅程了!回顾2024年,有几本书让我印象深刻,也让我对2025年的阅读方向有了更明确的规划。


    首先,金融类书籍仍然是我的重点。胡立阳的《股票投资100招》是我去年读过最有价值的投资书籍之一,内容通俗易懂,却能提供深刻的市场洞察。今年我计划继续深挖金融知识,打算读读《聪明的投资者》和《反脆弱》,希望在不确定的市场中找到更稳健的投资策略。


    除了金融书籍,我也很重视自我成长。2025年,我打算阅读《原则》(Ray Dalio)和《刻意练习》,这两本书都能帮助我在工作和生活中更有方向、更高效地成长。


    当然,放松的时候也少不了小说。今年我想读村上春树的《刺杀骑士团长》和东野圭吾的《嫌疑人X的献身》,毕竟生活不能只有投资和成长,还需要一些文学的滋养。


    这是我的2025书单,你的呢?欢迎分享你的推荐,让我们一起在新的一年里,通过阅读变得更加丰富和精彩!

    這是一個引人入勝的快節奏故事,講述了風險、貪婪和華爾街巨頭的興衰——絕對不是枯燥的金融理論,而是一本你很快就能讀完的引人入勝的讀物!

    這本書講述了長期資本管理公司的戲劇性興衰,這是一家由“天才”經營的對衝基金,但仍然成功地戲劇性地崩潰了。
