Zerodha's Nikhil Kamath reviews Bertrand Russell's 'A History of Western Philosophy': 'Definitely psychology for me'

Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath recently found some time to read Bertrand Russell's "A History of Western Philosophy" and gave an 8/10 rating for the book.

Writing on X (formerly Twitter), Kamath said that the book took forever to finish, but admitted that the most interesting aspect was to figure out "why we are how we are".

"Good book, 8/10, takes forever to finish, but great to catalogue summaries of different schools of thought."

"For anyone who asks, "If not a job in finance, then what?", it's definitely psychology for me. The most interesting thing is figuring out why we are how we are," he wrote on the social media platform.
Kamath's post saw a lot of comments, some of whom said that they were also interested in psychology as well.

"This is also my favorite subject after my job. It's fun to understand other people, how they think, why they do what they do etc. Understanding Psychology is also one of the most important parts of building a business," one user wrote.
