The Intelligent Investor vs. Hacking Growth

A Harmonious Echo

You've intuitively gravitated toward foundational principles that underpin success, evident in your high praise for Graham's 'The Intelligent Investor' and your engagement with Ellis and Brown's 'Hacking Growth.' Both books, despite their different temporal and practical focuses, share a fundamental belief in the power of systematic, analytical approaches. You rated Graham's work a perfect 5/5 because, at its core, it provides the bedrock of understanding intrinsic value and risk – a profound concept that underpins any enduring strategy, whether in investing or growth. 'Hacking Growth,' though rated 3.5/5, taps into this same vein by offering a framework for experimentation and data-driven iteration, essentially a modern, agile application of Graham's prudent, analytical mindset to the dynamic world of customer acquisition and retention.
