Re: Do It Yourself Masters in Financial Engineering
#2We live in the so called information age and everyday someone posts something like this on the web. Some road map to better educate yourself cheaper in x or y field.
Ironically, governments throughout the world still struggle to find solutions to education. Please, just teach people to open a book and do some damage.

#3This is exactly what I did with business, instead of getting an MBA or a PhD.
Here's my reading list: http://personalmba.com/best-business-books/
Here's the book I wrote, condensing what I learned in the process: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1591843529/
I now own my own business, work for myself as a business teacher and consultant, have an enormous amount of flexibility in my day-to-day schedule, and make more than professors who teach at top business schools.
Education is changing.

So? He put a lot of effort into that list, and he published it for free. If it sells some books, good for him.

Give yourself some credit for going through 99+ books, though; if something doesn't sink in after all that, then you should reconsider the way you read. :)

Nice list.
One quibble: I'd put Steve Blank's "Four Steps" under Entrepreneurship rather than "Value Creation and Design". I've read Four Steps, Universal Principals of Design, and Design of Everyday things (I have not read Rework, the other book in the category). Four Steps really covers much different material than the other other two books.

In its current state, Khan Academy's exercises are very basic, once you start following the courses. You learn the basics, but not enough to become an entrepreneur.
I've been mulling over a project to deliver more courses in a similar vein, but I'm still struggling with how I'll manage to collate the user-submitted YouTube-videos automatically without mandatory approval on my side.

It was just something "for your consideration". Nothing accusatory.
