    Ep. 118 - The Investor Who Lost 30% Playing Someone Else's Game

    Most investors study the right things and read the right books. And yet somewhere along the way, they start playing someone else's game, with their own money, their own health, and their own peace of mind. In this video, I share a real conversation with an investor who had done many things right. Saved diligently. Invested seriously. Planned carefully. And still found himself unable to sleep, dealing with deteriorating health, and watching his family suffer, because he had slowly drifted away from his own game into someone else's. This video is about that drift. And how to come back. We cover: → Why capacity to suffer matters more than return potential → Charlie Munger's inversion principle — asking what could go catastrophically wrong → Why the same 30% loss destroys one investor and merely inconveniences another → How the language we use around losses shapes our ability to recover → What it truly means to play your own game in investing and in life *** If you found this useful, my new book "The Long Game" explores these ideas in depth—400 pages of long-term investing philosophy from 30 practitioners across India and the world.

    Ep. 117 - The Oldest Answer to the Deepest Question: Am I Enough?

    Most of us carry a quiet, exhausting feeling of "I am not enough." Not smart enough. Not successful enough. Not rich enough. Just... not enough. What if the cure to this feeling was discovered 2,500 years ago, in ancient India and ancient Rome, and we simply forgot? In this episode, I explore the deepest human insecurity through the lens of two powerful ancient philosophies: Vedanta (from the Indian Upanishads) and Stoicism (from Greece and Rome). What you'll learn in this video: → Why the "not enough" feeling never goes away, no matter what you achieve → What Vedanta means when it says: "You are the gold, not the ornament" → What Epictetus, a man born as a slave, knew about inner freedom that most billionaires don't → The one shift in how you keep score that changes everything → Three simple daily practices you can start tonight Who this is for: This is for anyone who has worked hard, achieved things, and still felt hollow inside. For anyone who compares themselves to others and comes up short. For anyone who is tired of looking for worth in places it was never going to be found. The ancient thinkers we discuss: 📜 Vedanta — One of the world's oldest philosophical traditions, from the Indian Upanishads. Key idea: your true self (Atman) is already whole and complete. 🏛️ Stoicism — Practiced by Marcus Aurelius (Emperor of Rome), Epictetus (a slave), and Seneca (one of Rome's wealthiest men). Key idea: your worth lives inside you, in your character and choices, and not in outcomes or opinions. 📚 My latest book — The Long Game: https://www.safalniveshak.com/the-long-game/ #AncientWisdom #Vedanta #Stoicism #SelfWorth #Philosophy #PersonalGrowth #MentalHealth #InnerPeace #Motivation #LifePhilosophy #AncientWisdomModernInsecurities #TheInnerGame #TheOnePercentShow #LongTermThinking #PhilosophyForLife #TimelessWisdom #WisdomOfTheAges

    Ep. 116 - How AI will Change the Game for Long-Term Investors

    From Benjamin Graham's timeless wisdom to Warren Buffett's enduring discipline, value investing has guided generations of investors. But in an era where artificial intelligence is rewriting the rules of business, does the old playbook still hold up? In this video, I break down how technology has changed markets, what the research actually says about AI and investing, and why the principles of value investing—rationality, patience, and margin of safety—remain as powerful as ever. ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ 📕 My Books: 👉 Boundless: https://www.safalniveshak.com/boundless/ 👉 The Sketchbook of Wisdom: https://book.safalniveshak.com/ 👉 Buy the combo (Boundless + Sketchbook): https://www.safalniveshak.com/sketchbook-boundless-combo/ 👉 Mastermind Membership: https://www.safalniveshak.com/mastermind 📩 The Journal of Investing Wisdom Newsletter: https://www.safalniveshak.com/newsletter/ 📰 Safal Niveshak Substack (New): https://safalniveshak.substack.com/ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ Connect with me on: 🔗 Website: https://www.safalniveshak.com/ 𝕏 Twitter: / safalniveshak 📧 Email: vishal@safalniveshak.com ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ #ValueInvesting #AIandInvesting #WarrenBuffett #TheInnerGameOfInvesting #InvestingWisdom #StockMarketIndia #LongTermInvesting #BuffettQuotes #InvestmentPhilosophy #BehavioralFinance #AIRevolution #InvestingForBeginners #TimelessWisdom #FinancialIndependence #InvestingMindset #VishalKhandelwal #SafalNiveshak

    Ep. 115 - I Missed a 40-Bagger (Peter Lynch Had Warned About This)

    Peter Lynch once got a phone call from Warren Buffett. Buffett told him, "Peter, I loved your book One Up on Wall Street. There's one line I'd like to quote in my annual report." The line was — "Selling your winners and holding your losers is like cutting the flowers and watering the weeds." Buffett loved it. Lynch regretted it. Because that one line summed up his biggest investing mistake — selling his winners too soon. In this video, I share the story of that call, how I personally made the same mistake and missed a 40-bagger, and what both Buffett and Lynch can teach us about patience, compounding, and the psychology of holding. ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ 📕 My Books: 👉 Boundless: https://www.safalniveshak.com/boundless/ 👉 The Sketchbook of Wisdom: https://book.safalniveshak.com/ 👉 Buy the combo (Boundless + Sketchbook): https://www.safalniveshak.com/sketchbook-boundless-combo/ 👉 Mastermind Membership: https://www.safalniveshak.com/mastermind 📩 The Journal of Investing Wisdom Newsletter: https://www.safalniveshak.com/newsletter/ 📰 Safal Niveshak Substack (New): https://safalniveshak.substack.com/ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ Connect with me on: 🔗 Website: https://www.safalniveshak.com/ 𝕏 Twitter: / safalniveshak 📧 Email: vishal@safalniveshak.com ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ #WarrenBuffett #PeterLynch #InvestingWisdom #InvestingPsychology #ValueInvesting #StockMarketIndia #LongTermInvesting #Compounding #InvestorMindset #InvestingMistakes #VishalKhandelwal #SafalNiveshak

    Ep. 114 - The Hidden Reason We Keep Making Bad Decisions in Life and Investing

    Why do we keep making bad decisions — even when we know better? It's not always a lack of knowledge or intelligence. Often, it's because our hardware — our body, our energy, our nervous system — is running low. In this episode, I explore how exhaustion, poor sleep, stress, and constant noise quietly erode our ability to think clearly, in #life and in #investing. ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ 📕 My Books: 👉 Boundless: https://www.safalniveshak.com/boundless/ 👉 The Sketchbook of Wisdom: https://book.safalniveshak.com/ 👉 Buy the combo (Boundless + Sketchbook): https://www.safalniveshak.com/sketchbook-boundless-combo/ 👉 Mastermind Membership: https://www.safalniveshak.com/mastermind 📩 The Journal of Investing Wisdom Newsletter: https://www.safalniveshak.com/newsletter/ 📰 Safal Niveshak Substack (New): https://safalniveshak.substack.com/ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ Connect with me on: 🔗 Website: https://www.safalniveshak.com/ 𝕏 Twitter: / safalniveshak 📧 Email: vishal@safalniveshak.com ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ ﹎ #TheInnerGame #InvestingWisdom #LifeAndInvesting #MindfulInvesting #MentalClarity #BoundlessLiving #InvestorTemperament #InvestingPsychology #LongTermThinking #DecisionMaking #WarrenBuffettWisdom #StoicInvesting #InvestInYourself #RebootYourMind #FixTheHardware #VishalKhandelwal #SafalNiveshak
