THE DAILY LAWS

 TITLE: The DAILY LAWS: 366 Meditations on Power, Seduction, Mastery, Strategy                 and Human Nature

AUTHOR: Robert Greene

Amazon Link:  The Daily Laws

Recently released (October 2021), 'The Daily Laws' gives day-to-day teachings on different aspects of life; be they in our workplaces, homes, relations et cetera. From 1st January to 31st December, get to learn a lesson every day to be applied in these different life scenarios.

Each teaching (law) contains a summary from his previous works -48 Laws of Power, 33 Strategies of War, Mastery, Art of Seduction, or Laws of Human Nature.

If one has read any of his works, you'll agree that Robert Greene is a prolific researcher of history, with his engaging examples of historical figures both past and current. Unfortunately, with The Daily Laws, it seems he toned down on this (Sad….. my opinion).

Just like all his works, prepare to read it from cover to cover, then put it in the reference section of your library.

-We have learned the rules so well that we can now be the ones to break or rewrite them-

Let us assume you’ve just won a lottery, maybe you’ve received an unexpected inheritance, or just some financial windfall has swept your way….. What do you do with the money? What will be your investment vehicle? Real estate? Commodities? Stocks? Mutual funds?

Well, it all depends on your goal.

Investing your coin can be a daunting issue. As much as it is personal, several books have been authored to try to sell you the 'perfect' investment plan.

Coffee Can Investing is one of the many investment books in the market trying to make sense of the various investment options available.

The authors make a good case for Stocks as a better investment option far from what most people believe to be. Most investors, mainly in India where most of the study was done, would rather go for real estate or commodities such as gold.

Once you are sold to the idea of Stocks, the big question is; For how long should you hold on to the stock? This question is tackled when the authors outline the seven basic mistakes individuals commit at the start of their investments journey.

Downside: Since the book is basically written for the Indian market, one might be confused with terms such as lakh, crore e.t.c This is the Indian numbering system used instead of thousand, hundred thousand, or millions.

The authors assume the reader is well versed with basic economics terms such as B2B, B2C, ROCE, P/E ratio.
