Many books are published every year. But in the humdrum and busy-ness of everyday life, the time to read continues to remain limited. So, one doesn’t want to pick up a book and then struggle to complete it. Here is Mint’s list of 10 books on business, economics and finance that we found to be good reads during the course of this year. The books appear in no particular order.
SAME AS EVER TIMELESS LESSONS ON RISK, OPPORTUNITY, AND LIVING A GOOD LIFE
MORGAN HOUSEL
Morgan Housel became famous with his first book The Psychology of Money. The book did so well that it was translated into many Indian languages. His second book does deal with various aspects of how to manage your money well, but is more a book about how to think better and thus, hopefully make better decisions in life. Housel’s strength is that he makes even the most basic points through some excellent stories. Do watch out for the story about Warren Buffett. These stories ensure that the book—even though it is prescriptive—never really gets boring, which is the trouble with many similar books. Also, the book can be read one chapter at a time and need not be read in sequence. It’s just the right book for busy corporate executives looking for some intellectual stimulation without the need to get too involved while reading, as ironic as this might sound.
