What if there was another way? In Coffee Can Investing, Saurabh will show you how to go about low-risk investments that generate great returns.(Courtesy: Goodreads)

About The Art of Thinking clearly: In engaging prose and with practical examples and anecdotes, an eye-opening look at human reasoning and essential reading for anyone with important decisions to make.Have you ever:• Invested time in something that, with hindsight, just wasn't worth it?• Overpayed in an Ebay auction?• Continued doing something you knew was bad for you?• Sold stocks too late, or too early?• Taken credit for success, but blamed failure on external circumstances?• Backed the wrong horse?These are examples of cognitive biases, simple errors we all make in our day-to-day thinking. But by knowing what they are and how to spot them, we can avoid them and make better choices-whether dealing with a personal problem or a business negotiation; trying to save money or make money; working out what we do or don't want in life: and how best to get it..

In today's episode, Kaustubh and Anirudh invite Aditya Lele to talk about one of the most powerful books he had read - Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari

About Sapiens: Sapiens – helps answer a few intriguing questions:

Why did Homo sapiens turn into an ecological serial killer?

Why is money the only thing everyone trusts?

Why are most societies male-dominated, while women have superior social skills?

Why is it that people who are so skillful at acquiring power fail to convert this power into happiness?

Is science the religion of the future?

Is the time for human beings long overdue?

100,000 years ago there were at least six different human species on Earth. Today there are only Homo Sapiens. What happened to the others and what will happen to us? 

Most studies take either a historical or a biological approach to the human journey, but Harari breaks with tradition in this book, which begins with the Cognitive Revolution 70,000 years ago. Exploring topics ranging from the role of humans in the global ecosystem to the rise of empires and the modern world, Sapiens combines history and science to reconsider accepted narratives. (Courtesy: Goodreads)

Our guest speaker, Aditya Lele, is based in Germany and is a successful Technology Professional with 10+ years of Industry experience. He is the co-founder of Scarab-Bi.de – a Product which is used by our clients for online price tracking. He is also a Consulting Business Analyst for Deutsche Börse. He is an active member of Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh (https://hssgermany.org/) and dedicates his free time to help the Indian community based in Europe. 

Aditya has recently picked up reading and was fascinated by Sapiens. In our conversation, he was fascinated as how as Homo Sapiens species come together as a community and without any inhibitions rely on “strangers”.

In today's episode, Kaustubh and Anirudh invite Martin Stelbrink to converse on a book that he always goes back to….Anniversaries by Uwe Johnson.

About Uwe Johnson`s Anniversaries: As a novel, Uwe Johnson’s masterpiece, Anniversaries, is at once daringly simple in conception and wonderfully complex and engaging in effect. The main character of this book is Gesine Cresspahl, a German emigre living on the Upper West Side of New York City and working as a translator for a bank who is the single mother of a ten-year-old daughter, Marie. The book would tell the story of a year in the life of this little family in relation to the unfolding story of the year, as winnowed from the pages of the New York Times, of which Gesine is a devoted if wary reader. Monumental and intimate, sweeping in vision and full of incident, richly detailed and endlessly absorbing, Anniversaries, now for the first time available in English in a brilliant new translation by Damion Searls, is nothing short of a revelation. (Courtesy: Goodreads)

Our guest speaker, Martin Stelbrink, is based in Germany and is the Managing Director in Accenture's Technology Practice focused on complex delivery challenges in Application Services ranging from System Integration, Packaged Solutions Rollout and Operations. He is a down-to-earth Westphalian, who settled in the lower Rhine area close to Düsseldorf. Besides technology he is a voracious reader, an ambitious amateur photographer and a passionate supporter of Borussia Mönchengladbach.

In this episode, Martin shares how he fell in love with reading and how he found ’friends’ in Gesine Cresspahl and other characters from Uwe Johnson’s Anniversaries.
