While commenting on Nikhil Kamath's post, users reflected on issues they have been facing with the Zerodha platform.
Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath reviewed Bertrand Russell's "A History of Western Philosophy" and gave an 8/10 rating to the book. Sharing on X (formerly Twitter), he said that it took a very long time for him to finish the book of which the most interesting aspect was to figure out "why we are how we are".
He wrote, "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."

A third reflected, “Why you have to 'finish' a book? This is a linear way of thinking. Just read it till you enjoy it. Drop it and read something else when you feel so. Why keep adhering to sunk cost fallacy? Read 5 random pages of 3 random books.”
Some users also reflected on issues they have been facing with the Zerodha platform. One wrote, “With all politeness, please focus on Zerodha. What happened during last 4-5 days was disappointing.”
