April 23 is World Book Day. We spend so much time watching the market, reading earnings, and chasing headlines — but sometimes, it’s nice to slow down and read something that stays with you a little longer.

What’s one book you’ve read recently that you’d recommend to others?
It can be about investing, business, psychology, biographies, or even fiction — any book that gave you a new idea, a fresh perspective, or just a really good reading experience.

I recommend Zero to One book.
Here is why :--
Real innovation means creating a completely new thing that hasn't been seen before.
Ten key concepts:
1. Start from scratch
2. Become a monopoly
3. The appeal of competition
4. The last-mover advantage
5. Success is not a lottery
6. The power law
7. The role of secrets
8. Culture and sales
9. Man and computers
10. The founder’s paradox
Thiel's track record with Palantir
Peter Thiel co-founded Palantir with Stephen Cohen, Joe Lonsdale, Alex Karp, and Nathan Gettings in 2003. Thiel invested approximately $30 million (from his own pockets and his Founders Capital venture capital fund) in the company.
Before Palantir went public via a direct listing in 2020, Thiel owned 7%-10% of its private shares. He sold millions of shares after Palantir's market debut, but he still holds a 3% stake and remains the company's chairman. That stake is worth more than $20 billion today.
Thiel's think Palantir still has more long-term growth potential.
What stood out to me is Fisher’s focus on qualitative factors — management quality, innovation, and long-term growth potential. It reminded me that while earnings and charts matter, the real edge often comes from understanding what makes a company exceptional before the market fully prices it in.
In a market that’s constantly moving and full of noise, this book helped me slow down and think more like a long-term owner rather than just a trader. It’s a great read if you want to build conviction and avoid getting shaken out by short-term volatility.

A classic in investing, but not an easy read. The key lesson is discipline, margin of safety, and long-term thinking. It trains you to think rationally when markets are emotional, which is where most people fail.
