Why Smart People Make Big Money Mistakes and How to Correct Them: Lessons from the Life-Changing Science of Behavioral Economics | |
THIS REVISED AND UPDATED EDITION OF THE CLASSIC WHY SMART PEOPLE MAKE BIG MONEY MISTAKES AND HOW TO CORRECT THEM GIVES YOU THE LATEST RESEARCH IN THE EXCITING FIELD OF BEHAVIORAL ECONOMICS.
In their fascinating investigation of the ways we handle money, Gary Belsky and Thomas Gilovich reveal the psychological forces -- the patterns of thinking and decision making -- behind seemingly irrational behavior. They explain why so many otherwise savvy people make foolish financial choices: why investors are too quick to sell winning stocks and too slow to sell losing shares, why home sellers leave money on the table and home buyers don't get the biggest bang for their buck, why borrowers pay too much credit card interest and savers can't sock away as much as they'd like, and why so many of us can't control our spending. Focusing on the decisions we make every day, Belsky and Gilovich provide invaluable guidance for avoiding the financial faux pas that can cost thousands of dollars each year.
Filled with fresh insight; practical advice; and lively, illustrative anecdotes, this book gives you the tools you need to harness the powerful science of behavioral economics in any financial environment.

质量一般，有几页感觉要掉出来一样，都比起他的要宽出来一些，希望下次不要出现～
Belsky and Gilovich wrote a nice, well-structured and entertaining survey of the "new" science of behavioral economics and finance.
This small book should be more particularly of interest for beginners in this field who are looking for something easy to grasp without too much scientific jargon. Short stories and anecdotes nicely complement the more academic parts.
Major studies / papers are explained and mentioned, so even more advanced researchers should also benefit from this reading.
Overall, I give it a four star rating. Books by James Montier on this topic would be my first recommendation.
Behavioral economics is a wonderful knowledge and vertical in the economics studies. This books helps you to implement some of these techniques in your daily personal finance decisions.
Very useful by pointing out the psychological pitfalls that any person can fall into when investing
What a book! Now, if you have an overly sensitive ego, this book may make you a little uneasy. However, if you truely want some honest insights into why very intelligent people can make some huge mistakes, then read this book. In some places the reading is a little tedious. However, the examples given and the corrective measures talked about to avoid mistakes have a lot of merit. I'm very thankful that I took a chance on this book. Personally, I think it is a very good and very insightful book.
Fantastic insights on how behavioral economics profoundly affects not only your own finances, but the overall economy. Highly recommend for anyone interested in personal finance.
