The Behaviour Gap: Simple Ways to Stop Doing Dumb Things with Money

Why do we lose money? It's easy to blame the economy or the financial markets-but the real trouble lies in the decisions we make.

As a financial planner, Carl Richards grew frustrated watching people he cared about make the same mistakes over and over. They were letting emotion get in the way of smart financial decisions. He named this phenomenon-the distance between what we should do and what we actually do-"the behavior gap." Using simple drawings to explain the gap, he found that once people understood it, they started doing much better.

Richards's way with words and images has attracted a loyal following to his blog posts for The New York Times, appearances on National Public Radio, and his columns and lectures. His book will teach you how to rethink all kinds of situations where your perfectly natural instincts (for safety or success) can cost you money and peace of mind.

He'll help you to:

avoid the tendency to buy high and sell low; avoid the pitfalls of generic financial advice; invest all of your assets-time and energy as well as savings-more wisely; quit spending money and time on things that don't matter; identify your real financial goals; start meaningful conversations about money; simplify your financial life; stop losing money!

It's never too late to make a fresh financial start. As Richards writes: "We've all made mistakes, but now it's time to give yourself permission to review those mistakes, identify your personal behavior gaps, and make a plan to avoid them in the future. The goal isn't to make the 'perfect' decision about money every time, but to do the best we can and move forward. Most of the time, that's enough."

"Carl Richards is the anti-Jim Cramer. He doesn't pick stocks, and he doesn't shout. In wise, calm style, The Behavior Gap teaches us how to rein in the emotional saboteur within us-the voice that leads us to double-down when the market is peaking and to make a panicky exit when stocks are a bargain. Richards shows us that, when it comes to our financial security, slow and steady wins the race." — Dan Heath, coauthor of Made to Stick and Switch

Great read regarding the psychological profiles of people and investments. I recommend to anyone in the financial services business who is on the front lines meeting with clients. However, like a lot of financial services related books, take the information with a grain of salt as a lot of the writer's opinion are visible throughout the book.

It's a really easy and entertaining read. I like the author's insights and the different perspectives he puts on everyday behaviors around money and the "stuff" we accumulate in the pursuit of acceptance and happiness

Jmc.

Great little book. Simple but powerful investing guidance in very easy to understand terms. I'm a retired CPA with over 35 years of investing experience and I found the book insightful and thought-provoking. Yet, it's not a difficult read. I plan on buying copies as gifts for my college-age niece & nephew.

I worked as a trader for 19 years and on sales for 7 more. Funny to remember the mistakes we all did throughout time giving in to passions and fears. This book was a fun reminder to look for the longer term objective each one of us has.
