“We read a lot. I don’t know anyone wise who doesn’t read a lot. But that’s not enough: You have to have a temperament to grab ideas and do sensible things. Most people don’t grab the right ideas or don’t know what to do with them.”
— Charlie Munger
I am a voracious reader. For me, it is extremely important to read at least for 45 minutes every day. I have picked up on this practice since 2017 and have never stopped. The days I read are better than the ones I don't.
Many have requested that I start a section on my website, highlighting my favorite books and reads, so welcome to my public library. The list isn't complete or absolute; overtime, I'll add more titles to it.
I gift every CEO I partner multiple books, combining the ones I believe are essential for decacorn building and some materials that will likely help them into their journey, taking a personalized approach to every investment.
You should read a lot if you want to be competent. It helps you concentrate, learn how to learn, and lastly, you get free on-demand mentorship.
Stoicism is helpful for startup founders and investors. Stoicism helped me find my dark side. Every founder should read the work of Marcus Aurelius and Seneca.
Call on your guardian angel for help. Knowing that you have a superior spirit dedicated to protecting and guiding should bring you great comfort.
As Stoics, our motto is to "Live According to Nature". Seneca talks about this in a lovely manner on Letter from a Stoic.
