I finished reading CZ’s new book carefully.


How should I put it? Starting from nine years ago, when Ray Dalio sparked the “financial big-shot writing books” trend, I’ve gradually read Ray Dalio’s *Principles*, Su Shimin’s *My Experience and Lessons*, and CZ’s *Freedom of Money*...
But the one that left the deepest impression on me was Su Shimin’s book, because the big brother is just too good at trying to show off.
1) “Humbly” says that his entry into Yale mainly came from sports.
2) In 1985, he left Lehman Brothers to found Blackstone, raising $850 million in the first round. This was the largest initial fund in history. But he kept showing off, saying he was disappointed because he didn’t raise his target of $1 billion, and talking about how difficult his fundraising process was.
.....
Learning Su Shimin’s understated, matter-of-fact style of “subtly putting on airs,” and then coming up with a title like “It looks humble on the surface, but in reality it’s a callback to the book’s content of showing off,” makes it easier to leave a deep impression on readers. And with many other books, after finishing them, you more or less end up with a faint, lingering feeling.
