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.

If you are tired of the feeling that you are failing because you hold yourself to a standard of perfection - Atomic Habits by James Clear will help you realise how much time you have wasted relying on willpower.
Atomic Habits taught me that success isn't a lightning bolt. It is a slow, steady, quiet accumulation of tiny choices -1% better every day.
It is reading 1 page, not the whole book.
It is putting on workout shoes, not running a marathon.
It is mediating for 1 minute, not an hour.
It sounds almost too small to work. But that is the magic. The 2 minute rule takes the fear out of starting. It respects your tired brain & lowers the friction to act.
Stop Chasing 100% & start building the 1%. That is the power of Atomic Habits.

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.
This book is blunt about how power actually works in the real world. It can feel manipulative if taken literally, but the real value is awareness. You start recognizing hidden dynamics, office politics, and subtle influence tactics others use. Even if you don’t play the game, at least you won’t be played.
Great for business thinking, even if you’re not starting a company. It teaches how to test ideas quickly, fail cheaply, and adapt fast. The core mindset is not to fall in love with your idea, but to validate it with real-world feedback.
A surprisingly raw and honest story of building Nike. It’s not a smooth success story, it’s full of stress, near-failures, and uncertainty. The key insight is that even iconic companies were messy and fragile in the beginning, which makes risk-taking feel more realistic.
This book explains how your brain operates in two modes, fast (intuitive) and slow (analytical). You’ll start noticing your own biases, like overconfidence or anchoring, which is powerful for decision-making, especially in investing or business.
A practical guide to building good habits and breaking bad ones. What stands out is the idea that small, consistent improvements (1% better daily) compound massively over time. It gives very actionable systems—not just motivation—so you actually change behavior instead of just feeling inspired.
This isn’t about complex finance formulas—it’s about how people actually behave with money. The biggest takeaway is that financial success is less about intelligence and more about discipline, patience, and emotional control. It reframes wealth as “freedom” rather than status, which can quietly change how you make decisions.
Why Rich Dad Poor Dad stands out
It’s not about complex strategies—it’s about how you think about money.
• Introduces the difference between assets vs. liabilities
• Emphasizes financial independence over paycheck dependence
• Builds a foundational mindset before tactics
This makes it accessible whether someone is a student, employee, or entrepreneur.
Compared to Options Trading Books
Options trading guides (like Get Rich with Options–type material) are:
• Highly technical and risky
• Focused on short-term gains
• Not suitable for beginners without financial grounding
Without the mindset from books like Rich Dad Poor Dad, many people misuse these strategies.

如果说 ONTO 是在 AI 时代提供技术工具，那么这本书提供的则是交易世界的底层逻辑。
这本书以 20 世纪初的天才交易员杰西·利弗莫尔（Jesse Livermore）为原型。尽管现在的交易充满了算法和 AI，但市场参与者的人性（贪婪与恐惧）从未改变。
