Books that have sharpened my view — a personal, growing selection. Not a ranking, more an invitation to a conversation.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb — The Black Swan. On the power of the improbable and the limits of our knowledge.
Daniel Kahneman — Thinking, Fast and Slow. How two systems of thought shape our decisions — often against our own interest.
Rolf Dobelli — The Art of Thinking Clearly. A catalogue of the thinking errors that influence us every day.
Morgan Housel — The Psychology of Money. Why behaviour matters more than knowledge when it comes to wealth.
Robert Cialdini — Influence. The levers others use to steer our actions — and how to recognise them.
Marcus Aurelius — Meditations. Stoic clarity, two thousand years old and still useful.
Seneca — On the Happy Life. On time, sufficiency and a life on your own terms.
Viktor E. Frankl — Man’s Search for Meaning. On the last space of freedom: the choice of your own attitude.
James Clear — Atomic Habits. How small, deliberate decisions give direction over time.
The list keeps growing. Suggestions are always welcome.
