By reading a lot of investments books I encountered that the majority of books is very repetitive and just about the same topics like buffet value investing, ETF strategy/mindset, etc.

What were your 3 books which were exceptional and provided a unique new & fresh perspective? And why did you choose them?

I'll start:

**1. What i Learned about investing from Darwin**

New perspective of parallels to evolution underscores Investment principles. Insightful chapter about risk.

**2. Nick and Zak's Adventures in Capitalism: Words of Wisdom from the Nomad Partnership Letters**

Great mental models about business models and investing philosophy.

**3. Capital Returns: Investing Through the Capital Cycle: A Money Manager’s Reports 2002-15**

Clearest explanation of market investing and competitor dynamics. Very relevant for anticyclical investing.

(Ofc I read other classics of authors like Howard Marks, Jack Schwager, William Green but these stood out for me)
