Invested: How I Learned to Master My Mind, My Fears, and My Money to Achieve Financial Freedom and Live a More Authentic Life (with a Little Help from Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, and My Dad)

by Danielle Town

Books were a good idea, though. I piled up other books to serve as a laptop stand: additional copies of Rule #1, Payback Time, and The Education of a Value Investor; Yvon Chouinard’s Let My People Go Surfing; Gretchen Rubin’s The Happiness Project; and Atul Gawande’s Complications. I put The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up on the stack of books to remind me to be tidy and efficiently ruthless in the organization of my finances, and The Big Short, to remind me that I had to look deeper than surface level and think about macroeconomic forces in the market, and that things can go very wrong when they look like they’re going very right.
