Reading list The works this deck draws on, in the order worth reading them. Cards point to a specific chapter or paper where one fits.
01 Book The Psychology of Money · Morgan Housel Twenty short chapters on the behaviour side: why saving rate, patience, and room for error beat cleverness. The best starting point for this deck. 02 Book The Simple Path to Wealth · JL Collins The plainest case for a high saving rate and broad index funds. The account and tax detail is US-specific and can be skipped; the reasoning travels. 03 Book The Little Book of Common Sense Investing · John Bogle The founder of the index fund on costs and the arithmetic that makes the average active investor trail the market. Short, and repetitive on purpose. 04 Book The Four Pillars of Investing · William Bernstein Theory, history, psychology, and the industry in one book; the history of bubbles is the part most readers skip and most need. His short free booklet If You Can is the condensed version. 05 Book A Random Walk Down Wall Street · Burton Malkiel The evidence on why forecasting and stock picking fail, updated across many editions since 1973. The life-cycle allocation guide near the end is the practical part. 06 Book Your Money or Your Life · Vicki Robin and Joe Dominguez Money as hours of your life: the exercise of pricing each purchase in time worked is the best tool against lifestyle inflation. 07 Book The Millionaire Next Door · Thomas Stanley and William Danko Survey data on who actually ends up wealthy; the finding that it rarely looks like high spending is the basis for several cards here. 08 Book I Will Teach You to Be Rich · Ramit Sethi The systems side: automation, conscious spending, and a setup you can finish in a few weekends. The account names are US; the design is not.
