If I really want the paper version, I’d go to Amazon.
But for 90% of books I get the epub version for free on [libgen.io](http://libgen.io)
Exemple with [Your Money or your Life](http://libgen.io/book/index.php?md5=38B8637744F800D921387D8F4B5F4DDD)

I have all of them in epub version, but I really don’t like to read on the computer 🤷♂️

In my case I bought a second-hand Kindle on tutti.ch for 30 CHF.
This solved the matter for me, but I acknowledge that not everybody likes to read on an e-reader.

I bought 3, I think it will be good to start learning.
- Your Money or Your Life
- The Bogleheads’ Guide to Investing
- The Bogleheads’ Guide to the Three-Fund Portfolio

I used to buy books from [www.bookdepository.com](http://www.bookdepository.com), but for some reason they no longer accept my credit card. Another site is [www.abebooks.com](http://www.abebooks.com), but they tend to be a bit more expensive.

It’s not illegal to download stuff for private use in Switzerland with blatant disregard for copyright, as long as you don’t upload it back (eg via torrent). There’s maybe something in the laws about stuff like CP, I’m not sure, but copyright is totally ignorable unless you upload the stuff or use publicly in some other way without permission

One book I suggest to everyone is “The 7 habits of highly effective people” by S. Covey. I also re-read it regularly.

A few titles that fascinated me in the past year:
- The one I’m reading right now, amazing write-up on core principles of acquiring wealth by George Samuel Clason back from 1926. Timeless: [Richest man in Babylon](https://www.amazon.com/Richest-Man-Babylon-George-Clason/dp/1505339111)
- Not a financial one, but about incredible ways that we as a human kind have learned about the world and ourselves: [The Discoverers](https://www.amazon.com/Discoverers-History-Search-World-Himself)
- I find Harari’s work great - read the already recommended Sapiens, about to read [Homo Deus](https://www.amazon.com/Homo-Deus-Brief-History-Tomorrow/dp/0062464310) soon, and looking forward to the latest one [21 Lessons for the 21st Century](https://www.amazon.com/Lessons-21st-Century-Yuval-Harari/dp/0525512179).

The best book I’ve read lately:
- [The Simple Path to Wealth](http://libgen.io/book/index.php?md5=14EC5C4680D1096D9AE131E9E8540D01) by JL Collins
Very enjoyable and easy to read.

Let’s bring this thread back from the dead 🙂
I noticed that some links are dead @Julianek
Any new books to add?
This book will come out with an update in May:
[https://www.amazon.com/Influence-New-Expanded-Psychology-Persuasion-ebook/dp/B08HZ57WYN/](https://www.amazon.com/Influence-New-Expanded-Psychology-Persuasion-ebook/dp/B08HZ57WYN/)

Well it depends what you want to read…
- Three years later, _Poor Charlie’s Almanack_ is still my favorite book and I re-read every year. If you want to get a glimse of it, here are three extracts:
- [The Psychology of Human Misjudgment](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ca3e714d74562b554c38604/t/5caa07a9971a182374badc19/1554646956708/Psychology+of+Human+Misjudgment.pdf)
- [A lesson on elementary worldly wisdom](https://fs.blog/great-talks/a-lesson-on-worldly-wisdom/)
- [Academic Economics](https://fs.blog/2015/03/charlie-munger-academic-economics/)
- The [Buffett Letters to Shareholders](https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/letters.html) are free and will teach you more about investing than any Youtube channel. The content is a bit scattered among all letters, but Lawrence Cunningham took the time to group his writings by thematics in [The essays of Warren Buffett](https://www.amazon.de/Essays-Warren-Buffett-Lessons-Corporate/dp/1611637589)
- Someone released last December the integrality of the [Nomad Invesment Partnership Letters](https://1lib.eu/book/7218544/b9eac5?regionChanged=&redirect=139282928) by Nick Sleep. I couldn’t have asked for a better Christmas gift. Highly recommended, Nick Sleep is an amazing thinker and a legendary investor.
- _The Joys of Compounding_ by Gautam Baid is another very good investing book. The author summarizes in the book what took me a long time to figure out.
- _Quality Investing_ by Lawrence Cunningham is an outstanding book on competitive advantages
Well, that’s it for now. I could list many more books, but if you read these (and, most importantly, **internalize it** ), you will have a helluva good time, both intellectually and financially.

Just finished with Atomic Habits from James Clear.
Do you guys have some books about crypto to recommend ?

As a highly responsible bookaholic 📚 let me bust the dust out of this thread and bring it to 2023.
Please share 3 books (or less) related to mustachian’s topics (or “almost”… productivity, investment, life management…) that you read in 2022 and that you would recommend !
I start (without any particular order):
[Deep Work](https://books.google.ch/books?id=B_L8CAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=deep+work&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjy69Cuj678AhWEgv0HHQLjDf8Q6AF6BAgCEAI#v=onepage&q=deep%20work&f=false) by Cal Newport
[The Great Mental Models](https://books.google.ch/books?id=ffUpywEACAAJ&dq=The+Great+Mental+Models&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjs7NfAj678AhU8hP0HHUHHAB8Q6AF6BAgHEAI) by Share Parish
Ongoing:
[Thinking, Fast and Slow](https://books.google.ch/books?id=ZuKTvERuPG8C&printsec=frontcover&dq=Thinking,+Fast+and+Slow&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj14_ffj678AhWQh_0HHfVCDDQQ6AF6BAgEEAI#v=onepage&q=Thinking%2C%20Fast%20and%20Slow&f=false) by Daniel Kahneman
…and recently someone recommended me to read [Stolen Focus](https://books.google.ch/books?id=N6UxEAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=Stolen+Focus&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjFzbPoj678AhWcgf0HHZQpCpAQ6AF6BAgJEAI#v=onepage&q=Stolen%20Focus&f=false) by Johann Hari.

Can highly recommend it.
I’ll continue the list:
- The Most Important Thing by Howard Marks
- The Productivity Project by Chris Bailey
- Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker (not actually related to anything mustachian, but surely connected to productivity in some way. One of the most eye opening books I’ve read last year)
