I have made a commitment to updating my blog. After online poker's "Black Friday" I have found it difficult to blogging my thoughts and play but I believe it is positive and certainly +EV for me do do so. Just being able to share and reflect on things is a big plus in my personal growth and quest to succeed.
So, the first post back in a couple years will be my book of the month. I try to read as much as time and energy allows and I also try to read a variety of subject matter as well. Please feel free to suggest any good reads and perhaps I will share it in my blog.
"The Richest Mam Who Ever Lived" by: Greg Steinmetz
This is more like a history book, mostly sharing facts about the life of Jacob Fugger 1459-1525 who was said to be wealthier in his time than Rockefeller and JP Morgan combined. Here is an excerpt from the author.
: He was the first modern businessman, in that he was the first to pursue wealth for it's own sake. By all indications he was happiest when striking deals or scrutinizing his ledgers. Nothing gave him greater joy than the chores required to make him richer.
I found it very fascinating that the wealth itself did not fulfill him the most but the daily work did so. Very interesting and I do recommend the book if you like historical biographies. Enjoy :)
