Books they recommend 48
Housel's recommendations are unusually well documented in his own words — across his Collaborative Fund essays, his tweets, and his podcast — and lean toward narrative history and human behavior over investing how-tos. He's called "The Big Change" one of his favorite books of all time and "The Choice" "maybe the best book I've read in years," and repeatedly champions Shackleton's "Endurance" as the ultimate study of human resilience.
