It is dense, but its central idea will likely cause you to question your investment strategy in SOME way, which is always valuable."

Using thought-provoking examples from both the natural world and the historical world, The Dao of Capital shows how a seemingly difficult immediate loss becomes an advantageous intermediate step for greater future gain, and thus why we must become ‘patient now and strategically impatient later.’”
