For pleasure/growth, below is what I’ve been reading lately. I’ll not go back in time and post my entire library as there are hundreds of books. This has been one of the most important parts of life for me.

Another from the nightly reading stack complete
Stories, aphorisms, Sufi wisdom. I enjoyed this. And it was challenging in part because it forced me to slow down to follow the language at times and to find, to wonder at the meanings. Though some were quite obvious. A jewel. Though often the good parts were diamonds in the rough it felt at times.

Top 10, easy
This one will go on my list of books to listen to again when the market crashes, when the market rises to awesome heights, when the market is boring the hell out of me. In all cases, it provides the orientation of mind, the structure of thought, backed up by experience and real life lessons from many years of investment experience.

Oh Edna, perhaps if i’d known?
I don’t mean to be too harsh, Edna. For what you taught me, “I’ll not soon forget.” That is, that for a writer and a poet to succeed, a million failures are necessary. To me that is what this collection was. For sparsely there would be an ahha! poem…

Long term mindset
What a great book to get my mind set on the long term. I need this and it surely takes retooling of past habbits. Disciplined process and emotional constitution. Right selection…

The title is likely misunderstood by the american mind (in my opinion)
This is a wonderful picture of Adlerian Psychology, so far as I know. It was my first intro to Adler save for once in college a friend had shares ideas with our then group…

i think Everyone Should want to be this way all of the time
Customers deserve our absolute best, to be swept off their feet, to be part of the creation itself, to receive over the top. But for that matter, so does everyone with whom I am in contact…

Jung gives Job an answer
In Job, God and the Devil make a kind of bet. Will Job continue to follow/serve/be loyal to God if everything he’s been blessed with is taken from him? What does this say of God? And of man? What is required in the pysche from/of God in light of this?…

Individual Psychology
Adler was one of Freud’s contemporaries, like Jung. They shared in common a departure from Freud’s theories, for example, that everything is driven by the sexual desire. Adler founded Individual Psychology. Jung, Analytics Psychology. They had different theories..

Becoming more my own investor
Great short how to think book for an individual investor. A lot of great tips on organizing thought, what to ignore, what to pay more attention to. Thank you Mr. Lynch!

Motivating!
Recommended by a friend who was looking to start up or flame his fire inside some. What a story! What is YOUR Everest? I knew right away what mine has been and what it is today. And it breaks my heart. The author of this book drug a sled across the whole of Antarctica…

Peopleing can lead to ennui and Anhedonia
Round 3 of Proust. I am reminded of Rilke, “I want to be with those who know secret things or else alone.” The next is Sodom and Gomorrah…

A brilliant person will forget/overlook
No one is immune. The most experienced builder, surgeon, stock trader still forgets or overlooks something that in retrospect…
One of my favorites of David’s
Do you ever find that you are always waking either a little bit more or that you are just now beginning to come awake after not having realized you’d fallen asleep again?…
Soul medicine
David’s poetry and interpretations of poetry and life are medicine for the mind and the soul. His voice is…
One of the greatest
Eckhart is one of the greatest spiritual masters I have read in my life. I read his sermons out loud to…

2nd Volume: In Search of Lost Time
Each of these is so widly different. I’m in the third volume at present and it is my least favorite thus far. I am totally floored with Proust’s brilliance…

Memory, perception, mental gymnatics, beautiful and terrible
I’ll be reading Proust a long, long time now. In Search of Lost Time (of which this is the first volume) has seven volumes, all of which are long and every sentence (almost) complex. No one writes, has ever written like this imo…
