Dan Rasmussen appeared on Invest Like the Best to discuss and recommend several influential books related to investing and decision-making. He named Philip E. Tetlock's Expert Political Judgment and Superforecasting as the single most influential works on his thinking, connecting Tetlock's research to the importance of forecasting for investors and explaining how Tetlock's superforecasters made qualitative adjustments after assessing base rates. In another appearance on the same podcast, Rasmussen discussed Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, using a famous quote from the novel to illustrate how crises and bear markets share recognizable patterns. He also cited James P. O'Shaughnessy's What Works on Wall Street while explaining that growth rates tend to revert after acquisition in private equity investments.
