The Joys of Compounding was fantastic: a broad wander through many topics I've been reading & learning about recently, but sufficiently deep that I gleaned new information & book recommendations from it.

This book will help you compound knowledge... and wealth

Published on Amazon.comVerified Purchase
I'm frequently asked for book recommendations, probably more frequently on learning than on investing. This book is a masterpiece of both. I absolutely love the way it is structured. First, Baid builds the method for compounding knowledge, which is not only a prerequisite to be a great investor, but also a prerequisite for a great life. The quotations, book citations, and brilliant one-liners left me with a book that had highlights, underlines, and bookmarks all over it. Furthermore, after finishing the book a few weeks ago, I've already pulled it off the shelf to look up certain sections about three times. To me, this is the sign of a truly great book. On the investing side, the examples are fresh and poignant for today, which is sometimes hard to find in good books on investing. When I am asked by young investors, what book they should start with, I will now be suggesting The Joys of Compounding. Absolutely incredible.

A rare gem on investing

I love reading investment books, but rarely write book reviews. I decided to write one for this book as I have never heard Gautam Baid's name before, and absolutely loved his book soon after I started reading a few chapters. I wish I could have read his first edition book earlier, and do not want others to miss this revised edition.
Investing is simple, but not easy. All important investment rules have been outlined at the end of Chapter 2 in this book. How well you apply those rules to your daily investment practice separates great, just so-so, and poor investors. To be a truly great investor, you need to have the right temperament, know how to collect information and data that really matters, process them properly, and make rational decisions. The book covers those topics in details with plain language and many excellent quotes of great investors and wise thinkers.
I have made highlights all over this book, including the Acknowledgments section at the end, where Gautam has a long list of people from whom he has learned investing, skill development, positive habit formation, competitive strategy, risk management, and many other subjects mattering to become good investors. So even the Acknowledgements section of this book can be an excellent reference if you are interested in any of those subjects.
While I read the book, I often got a feeling that reminded me of my school days when an all-A student had generously showed me his study notes. Please make sure you take advantage of the offer!

It is a very good read.

I have read half the book so far and I am really enjoying it. More than I thought I would. I originally bought it for my nephews ages 10 to 12 but they only read the 1st two chapters and lost interest. I am a novice investor, retirement accounts, and I really enjoy the quotes and perspective of famous investors. The first half is more about mindset and beliefs that blue color folks like myself can digest. Work hard, save and invest for the long term. Quotes that come to mind are, Don't invest in what you don't understand. Being happy is simple, but being simple is hard. Pleasure doesn't equal happiness. Wealth is controlling your time. Rich people say no, but wealthy people say no more often. Those are not exact quotes but general concepts that the book talked about that I liked.

This is a powerful book. It does a great job compiling all the key insights one needs to understand how to maximize compounding in all aspects to life. I have begun giving this as a gift to those who will appreciate it. I consider it a #1 must read, especially for younger generations getting started with investing.
