Nikhil adds, “Will always pick experience without theory over theory without experience. This book talks about how the smartest people on the planet got together to theorize stock investing and lost everything. Research the product/company, ignore the noise(people, marketing, branding, advertising). Really easy read, the story kinda thing, no maths, etc :)”

3. Caste
Nikhil quips caste like the world ain’t got enough issues already. It’s a good book. P.S. can picture my brahmin ancestors turning in their graves?. He rated the book a 7 on 10.
We’d say it’s an interesting choice of subject but very relevant considering the times we are living in. Wish he had given a detailed review of the book.
Here’s what Oprah Winfrey had to say about the book, “Required reading for all of humanity”.

4. The Denial Of Death
According to Nikhil Kamath Zerodha, “Book of the year for me, so at 34, a fair estimate is I have 36 years left. (Avg lifespan 70). So easy to forget the finite nature of life, if u were to live backward with awareness of how much time(approx) is left, what would you change?”
