I wanted to start a reading list of say 30 books with the goal of finishing every book on the list by the end of lockdown. I am a fast and avid reader.
Can anyone contribute any book titles for my list - pref personal development- Financial markets - sports psychology focused.
Currently reading Jordan Peterson followed by Alchemy of Finance.
Thanks in advance

"Behave", Robert Sapolsky
speaks as though he is the man you climb a mountain to talk to
The Most Important Thing - Howard Marks
How to Win Friends and Influence People by D. Carnegie Influence by R.Cialdini The Choice Factory: 25 Psychological Biases that Influence What We Buy Factfulness Mastering the Market Cycle - Howard Marks The Lean Startup The One Thing The 4 Hour Workweek What it Takes by Schwartzman The Art of Learning
Cialdini's Influence is quite outdated tbh, and Carnegie's whole book is basically "don't be an asshole"
How could principles of human behavior be outdated ? lol
the entire Incerto by Nassim Taleb, in order. fooled by randomness, black swan, antifragile, skin in the game
thinking, fast & slow by daniel kahneman
a man for all markets (ed thorp)
both of howard marks' books
security analysis 6th edition by graham & dodd
man's search for meaning by viktor frankl
meditations by marcus aurelius
fortune's formula by william poundstone
anything by jocko willink, but specifically extreme ownership. I've read a ton on leadership from business leaders, coaches, consultants, and jocko's advice works best for me. he writes with a good balance of stories, principles, applications, and specific tactics. too many leadership books are not applicable to lower level people (leading up chain of command is important) and are too broad.
Hey. Thanks for recommending Talebs work. Took a while to work through as so dense in content and prose, but well worth it! Really interesting view on trading and markets.
taleb is a fool.
The Goal - Eliyahoo M. Goldratt
Harassment Architecture- Mike Ma
The Death of the West- Pat Buchanan
Finance/sports/personal development? Shoe dog by Phil Knight.
Billion Dollar Whale: The Man Who Fooled Wall Street, Hollywood, and the World is CRAZY!
Story of the Malaysian guy behing the 1MDB scandal, really well writen
good documentary on this too, what a story
Is there a tv documentary out there ? And yea, what a scam empire Jho Low built I can't believe it
A Hero of Our Time - Lermontov Fathers and sons - Turgenev Byzantium - Norwich The Righteous Mind - Haidt Why Liberalism failed - Deneen
Stuff I am currently reading/listening to, recently read, or have queued up for near-term consumption (not sure if all of these are even worth recommending yet):
Twilight of the Idols
King, Warrior, Magician, Lover
The Sovereign Individual
Blitzscaling
This is Marketing
Dune
Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage
Debt: The First 5000 Years
reading Dune right now I love it. if you like sci-fi check out Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons.
Interesting selection of titles, can’t wait to get my teeth in them. Many thanks everyone for contributing and here below are some of mine if anyone feels inspired to start their own Lockdown 30 Challenge.
You may like Robert Greene's books "48 Laws of Power" and "33 Strategies of War". Shortened versions are available, and imo I like them better than "Mastery" which felt a bit redundant after reading the first two.
Recently read: When Breath Becomes Air - not my usual cup of tea but holy shit I loved it The Elegant Universe The power of Habit Talking to Stranger - Malcolm Gladwell (i liked it but meh... bit reductive and redundant at times)
The Power Broker The Path to Power Means of Ascent Master of the Senate The Passage of Power
All by Robert Caro, changed my life. But you most likely won't be finishing all of these by the end of lockdown.
ikr it’s shaping up to be a delicious book list.
Mainly erotic thrillers and one on legislative development in low income post colonial countries and their variance in institutional strength p>
Civilized to Death - The Price of Progress by Christopher Ryan is an interesting read if you're interested in evolutionary psychology and its implications in modern society.
Atomic Habits by James Clear
Into Thin Air

The Little Book That Beats the Market – Greenblatt (a great value investing primer)
Intelligent Investor – Ben Graham (the value investing Bible, lauded by Buffett)
Big Debt Crises – Ray Dalio (Principles is also good)
Predators' Ball – Bruck (the history of Drexel, Wall Street glory days)
More Money Than God – Mallaby (the history of where today's Tiger Cubs came from)
