Less traditional reading list for aspiring PMs?
What are some less traditional fields of study to read about in one's pursuit to being a more well rounded analyst or PM aside from the usual suspects within the investment world? We've all read Margin of Safety and Intelligent Investor, but what else is on your guys' reading lists? Economics would be an obvious one. I've heard a few people saying they like to read about physics although the benefit of that is lost on me unless you're a quant. General business strategy books would be good for fundamental analysis people. Any other good ones?
(investor) psychology.
Physics helps you understand how various systems work together, so even understanding the theory behind it helps you out. Brownian motion being an good example (though thats not exactly less traditional). History is something I think people skip out on sometimes. Understanding the past if you an analyst, especially in how it relates to whatever specific industry you are covering, is actually pretty helpful (If not necessary). As far as being a PM, I have noticed all the PM's where I am have a very generalist knowledge and could probably talk about anything asked of them. They couldn't' go toe to toe with a specialist in a topic, but they certainly could hold a conversation. I think that becoming better at anything is just constantly learning about EVERYTHING and then applying it back to whatever your trying to focus on. Not sure if thats helpful, but I needed a break from GMAT studying. haha.
