This is essential reading if you ever expect to see a doctor or visit a hospital. The business of medicine pushes the hippocratic oath into a dark corner more frequently than you might imagine.
You should also read the excellent Overdiagnosed: Making People Sick in the Pursuit of Health by H. Gilbert Welch.
Think of these two books as a self preservation kit.

I loved this book. It covered all the players of the stock market bubble and crash. It made it clear that it wasn't just the crazy dot.com that made it happent but a lot of people getting sucked into the bull market. I strongly recommend this book to everyone. It has made me think about how I am saving for retirment and what I might do differently.
