I finished Sahil Bloom’s “The 5 Types of Wealth” the other day.

Toward the end, there was a chapter/section on compounding.

It gave the grains of rice chessboard parable, and the usual benefits for understanding it and harnessing it.

Good stuff.

It got me thinking:

We (humans) are terrible at understanding exponentials, like compounding.

And:

I’d LOVE a tiny book on the magic of compounding.

I was thinking a whole lot of stuff to help hammer home the point.

A book one could pick up and re-read again and again as a reminder, with:

  • diagrams
  • parables
  • quotes
  • stories
  • examples

And on.

I’m sure there are books out there, perhaps focused on kids or investors. Any general audience books?

At the very least, collecting the examples and sharing on a static site would be fun!
