What Asset Managers Have on Their Summer Reading Lists

八月的慵懒日子在这里，这意味着是时候早点离开办公室了，奠定了外面，最后到达该阅读清单。亚博赞助欧冠asked some prominent (and literary) folks in the business for their top book picks. Find their answers below — and happy reading.

希瑟辉煌，钻石山首都＆Chairman,CFA Institute:When it comes to fiction, my favorite category is historical fiction, and one of my favorite books in that category isDevil in the White City由Erik Larsen是因为它在芝加哥（我的家乡）的世界公平期间发生。

I am looking forward to readingLeadership in Turbulent Timesby Doris Kearns Goodwin. She spoke at the Morningstar conference and wroteTeam of Rivals, which (it was reported) formed the basis for how Obama put his cabinet together. I didn’t see her speak as I missed the Morningstar conference this year, but her presentation received rave reviews.

迈克尔罗森，Angeles投资官员首席投资官员：Brenda Wineapple,The Impeachers. History tends to gloss over the first impeachment, that of Andrew Johnson, who is usually cited as the worst president we’ve ever had (so far). But this book helps us understand the debate about what post-Civil War America would look like, which was the real underlying context of the impeachment proceedings. Wineapple shows that we were very much a divided country, and the parallels with today are readily apparent.

Ashby Monk, research director, Stanford University’s Global Projects Center:I readA Man for All Marketsby Edward O. Thorp a few months ago. I thought it was awesome. I’m also halfway through这本书为什么由Judea Pearl和Dana Mackenzie。这是一个令人着迷的研究因因果关系。然后我打算读Billion Dollar Whaleby Tom Wright and Bradley Hope on the beach in August.

Cathleen Rittereiser, executive director, Commonfund Institute:Loonshots: How to Nurture the Crazy Ideas That Win Wars, Cure Diseases, and Transform Industries由Safi Bahcall。创新者高兴！通过历史的例子和创造性分析，Bahcall，物理学家和生物技术企业家，解释了组织如何通过实施结构性变化来蓬勃发展新的想法。我借给Loonshots给朋友，迫不及待地想回来，所以我可以再次阅读它。

Dan Newhall，监督和经理搜索负责人，Vanguard：Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World由大卫·埃斯坦伊斯坦人谈到缺点，甚至是早期专业化的危险以及广泛的学习和越来越慢的职业发现。我发现很多原因非常有吸引力，包括积极管理人员如何从更广泛的概念思维技能中受益，而不是掌握可以通过计算机学习的任务。

[IIDeep Dive:Ray Dalio’s Book Has Sold a Million Copies. But Who’s Actually Implementing His Ideas?]

John Ameriks, head of quantitative equity group,先锋:准备好玩家by Ernest Cline is a great, fun read if you haven’t read it or seen the 2018 movie (it does feature a teen protagonist — if “immaturity” in your subject matter is a problem, this isn’t the book for you). Gen Xers like me with a passing interest in sci-fi/technology/gaming will recall a lot of the pop culture references. Related, and more interesting from a real-world angle, is this blog post, which drove me to pick the book up again. The possibility of a connection between the very real Fortnite phenomenon and the world of准备好玩家was absolutely fascinating to me.

Christie Hamilton, investment director, Dallas Children’s Health:A Short History of Nearly Everything比尔布赖森出乎我的意料。

Sloane Ortel, Free Money Podcast:Liu Cixin’s三个身体问题(and the associated Remembrance of Earth Trilogy) is so good that finishing it felt more important than breathing (and just as involuntary). It's classic hard science fiction that examines how first contact with an alien race might practically affect earthbound politics. The narrative flits between the Chinese cultural revolution, the present-day mainland and virtual reality as it unfolds at a galactic scale. Bonus: it kind of counts as geopolitical research!

Anne Hollander’s性和套装is also just entrancing. She traces the cultural history of menswear from the renaissance to the present and how the professionalization of tailoring fed the construction of gender norms. There are dozens of remarkable threads to this story, like how “modern” tailoring was inspired by an early 1800s exhibition of Greek marble statues in London.

Kip McDaniel, editor-in-chief and chief content officer,亚博赞助欧冠:Educated: A Memoirby Tara Westover.Billion Dollar Whale[note: the only book recommended twice on this list].还有很多！
