Wall Street’s Secret Sauce: Federer, Sleep, and Billionaire Drama

Forget just crunching numbers—Wall Street pros swear by Roger Federer's loneliness masterpiece, 'The Master,' leadership anthologies, and even sleep science! Vinay Trivedi ponders who's in his 'player's box' while Lacey Giliberto went from 4:30 A.M. workout warrior to full-on sleep evangelist after cracking 'Why We Sleep.' Meanwhile, Rachel Murray and Lacey Giliberto preach generosity in 'Give and Take,' proving finance isn’t just a cold game of greed, but a weird cocktail of lonely genius, group hugs, and binge-reading biographies of billionaires. Because nothing screams "finance" like juggling Federer, self-care, and Herman Melville-level decision-making.

Reading on Wall Street is just code for: 'I desperately want to appear well-rounded while scheming my next domino-takedown in the markets.' Federer’s lonely grind and sleep novels included for dramatic effect.
