Personal Blogs written by finance professionals
Looking for recs of personal blogs authored by current or former finance professionals (preferably younger / with buyside experience) that touch on work, fulfillment, and other life-related subjects (not about the content of their work per se - no investing commentary for instance).
Was reading Matt Ting's personal blog entries and found them pretty illuminating + an interesting now outside-in perspective of working in PE; looking for more along the same vein. Could scour through all the WSO posts about 'The Path' and whatnot, but want something more codified and continuous.
Welcome any book recs as well.
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some recommendations for personal blogs and resources that align with your interests:
Farnam Street - A blog focused on mental models, decision-making, and lifelong learning. While not strictly finance-focused, it’s highly regarded by professionals in the industry for its insights into personal and professional growth. (https://fs.blog/)
Cal Newport's Study Hacks - This blog delves into building a fulfilling and intellectually stimulating career, which could resonate with your interest in work and fulfillment. (https://www.calnewport.com/blog/)
Scott Young's Blog - Similar to Farnam Street, this blog emphasizes learning and personal development, offering a broader perspective on life and work. (http://www.scotthyoung.com/blog/)
For books, here are a few that touch on life, fulfillment, and career perspectives: - The Education of Millionaires by Michael Ellsberg: Focuses on mindset shifts and success strategies, featuring interviews with successful individuals. - The Four-Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss: A classic on redefining work-life balance and achieving fulfillment. - Antifragile by Nassim Taleb: Explores how to thrive in uncertainty, written by a former trader.
For more continuous and codified insights, you might also explore Goodreads (www.goodreads.com) to discover similar books and blogs based on your preferences.
