Why you should read Inside the Investor's Brain
Richard L. Peterson’s book is riveting, useful and, at times, poignant and funny. Peterson discusses a broad range of emotional and cognitive factors that influence investing. Some are common and will apply to all readers, but others are so subtle that they are sure to surprise even experienced investors. Peterson synthesizes and summarizes neuropsychology and behavioral studies, explains them in clear prose and illustrates them with examples drawn from investors’ lives – and sometimes from their disasters. getAbstract recommends this work to readers interested in behavioral economics or in improving their investment practices.
