Hello Reader. I want to share few brilliant undetected talented people I have found in the recent days.
- Prof. Stephen H. Penman from Columbia Business School
Stephen Penman is the author of the book ‘Accounting for Value’. After Benjamin Graham’s two books, The Intelligent Investor & Security Analysis, I was not able to find a radical book about businesses and stock market. But, when I read Stephen Penman’s book, I found the same quality as of the Benjamin Graham’s books. - John Vervaeke
John Vervaeke is a cognitive scientist who practices meditation since previous 20 years. He has published a 50 episode long YouTube series named ‘Awakening from the Meaning Crisis’. This series is an anthropological study of consciousness. One should understand that there is a clear difference between history and anthropology. History is facts only, anthropology is the meaning of the history to humans. Yuval Noah Harari’s all three books – The Sapiens, The Homo Deus, and 21 Lessons for the 21st Century – are the most illuminating anthropological books a curious mind can read. John Vervaeke’s series is on the same level.
I can not watch for educational purposes, I like to read. Rather than watching, I have printed the transcripts of the above series which I am reading currently. The whole series may go 1000 pages long, but I tell you that every page is worth it.
Please note that the above personalities are not to be read by the beginners, because they are working on an advanced level. One needs to go through the prerequisites first.
Prerequisites –
Prof. Stephen H. Penman – Basic Accounting Theory, The Intelligent Investor & The Security Analysis by Benjamin Graham.
John Vervaeke – Yuval Noah Harari’s all three books and daily practice of Meditation.
