The Bodega - Business/Financial

The Bodega is Felipe's Favorites, the good stuff, stuff I like, etc.  If it's listed it's worth loading into your mental inventory.


Business/Finance

The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine
By Michael Lewis
Well written story about how it all went down and some of the characters who saw it coming.  

Debt-Free U: How I Paid for an Outstanding College Education Without Loans, Scholarships, or Mooching off My Parents
By Zac Bissonnette
No excuses, Zac lays it out pretty good. 


EntreLeadership: 20 Years of Practical Business Wisdom from the Trenches
By Dave Ramsey
Best road map for running a business I have seen.

Great by Choice: Uncertainty, Chaos, and Luck--Why Some Thrive Despite Them All
By Jim Collins & Morten Hansen
Thoroughly researched, well written, and hugely relevant.  A must read.


The Greatest Trade Ever: The Behind-the-Scenes Story of How John Paulson Defied Wall Street and Made Financial History
By Gregory Zuckerman
More behind-the-scenes on how it worked.  When they created the synthetics it got really interesting.  And the ones that actually crunched the numbers ended up making billions.  Good story.  

The Millionaire Mind
By Dr Thomas Stanley
A must read with chapters as far ranging as the importance of vocation and marriage to the mundane purchasing habits of the wealthy.  Frugality rules this bunch.

The Millionaire Next Door: The Surprising Secrets of America's Wealthy
By Dr Thomas Stanley and William D. Danko
Another great read.

Private Empire: ExxonMobil and American Power
By Steve Coll
More about geopolitics than I expected and Exxon has a culture similar to the military (that's why I like it, maybe they'll give me a job when I retire...) 

Purple Cow, New Edition: Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable--Includes new bonus chapter
By Seth Godin
This guy is pretty smart, I read a lot of his stuff but this one is one of my favorites. 

Security Analysis: Sixth Edition, Foreword by Warren Buffett (Security Analysis Prior Editions)
By Ben Graham, David Dodd If you can read this book you are probably in the top 1% (of financial minds and by bank account too).  I have been trying to get through it for about 2 years now.  When I can understand it, it's deep....

Thou Shall Prosper: Ten Commandments for Making Money
By Rabbi Daniel Lapin
A different perspective on money and people, worth the read.
