Jim's Review
Jim doesn't have pockets (worm problems), but if he did, this book would teach him how to fill them wisely. Housel writes about finance the way Jim wishes everyone did — through stories, not spreadsheets. Each chapter is a standalone gem. The chapter on compounding alone is worth more than most finance books combined. Four worms, highly recommended.
