Hey—Yvan here!
When it comes to books, contrary to popular belief, more is not better. I'm a fervent believer in reading few books, but good, important books that are worth your time.
But I understand that this is somewhat subjective. Below you'll find books that I've personally found valuable. They've helped me become a better market actor, thinker, and human overall.
