بین خواندن کتاب بود که متوجه شدم ترجمه ای هم در بازار موجوده.
اگه رشته ی تخصصی تون نیست میتونید فقط فصل های درباره ی سوگیری ها رو مطالعه کنید.بهش میتونید مثل یادگیری تفکر نقادانه نگاه کنید.ساختار فصول هم اینطوره که ابتدا یه شرح میده بعد شرح تکنیکی و بعد خلاصه و بعد تحقیقاتی که درباره اون سوگیری انجام گرفته و در آخر هم یک سری پرسش تا متوجه بشید شما هم اون سوگیری رو دارید یا نه.
ترجمه هم خیلی جا ها خوب بود.خود کتاب هم به معنای واقعی تر و تمیز بود.دست دکتر بدری درد نکنه. البته با معادل هاشون اصلا بر سر مهر نیستم.

This excellent, practical guide helps you apply behavioral finance information to your personal wealth management. Though Michael M. Pompian chiefly addresses a readership of professional investment advisers, any investor can benefit from learning more about the irrational factors that affect investment decisions. Readers can choose among many books about behavioral finance, cognitive biases and neuroeconomics. However, very few books can match this one’s hype-free, objective and accessible exposition of this subject. The author provides a brief history of behavioral finance, a thorough catalog of noteworthy investor biases, advice on how to deal with these biases, examples and the likely direction of future research in the field. getAbstract highly recommends his book for its straightforward language, which makes it widely accessible.

This is one amazing book on behavioral finance. A must read for all investors, traders and portfolio managers.
This is certainly not a one time read. Best would to be make notes and keep revisiting it to make sure one is on track... 👍

Gets to the point of psychological investing. Gives several examples with real world applications. Even includes some questions you can use to determine which biases you, or a client, have. Great breadth and depth!

So far, 5 stars. Excellent list of cognitive biases that affect investors, ways you can steer clear, and even ways to take advantage of the suckers out there who don't steer clear. Pure magic.
