My 2026 reading goal is 12 books for the year, roughly one per month, with a daily habit of 20–30 minutes of focused reading. I’m reading for retention and application, not speed—one well-applied idea compounds more than finishing many books quickly.
My reading list focuses on decision-making, risk control, and staying rational in volatile markets. Key titles include The Most Important Thing by Howard Marks for cycle and risk awareness, Thinking in Bets by Annie Duke for probabilistic thinking in options and trading, and Expected Returns by Antti Ilmanen to strengthen my long-term allocation and macro framework.
The biggest habit I want to fix in 2026 is overreacting to short-term market noise. My main takeaway so far is that good investing is about positioning sensibly when odds are favorable and surviving when they’re not. If I could recommend one investing book for 2026, it would be The Most Important Thing—it builds a mindset that compounds over time.
