- Aswath Dammodaran

Wow, I never heard that quote. Phenomenal, thank you very much for sharing my friend. I completely agree on the conclusion!

My main issue, whenever I absorb something (reading/audiobooks/courses), is the sensation of the content being automatically erased by my brain in a matter of a week-month. I believe it’s because I trained my brain for this task throughout my entire high schools years (where every day I had a new exam on a different topic). I hope your theory will eventually work out, because otherwise I’m screwed. How would you train your long-term memory muscle?

If part of being a better investor is knowing yourself (and I think it is) then this demands this type of exploration. Also, I wish I had discovered Dostoevsky at a younger age than I did.

Completely agreed on the first statement and very second curious one, unfortunate. He was indeed one of the best writers out there, so thoughts and knowledge for sure compounds up from his reads. Thank you for the comment Geoff!
