About this listen
In this controversial, hard-hitting account of today’s explosive market, Robert J. Shiller, a leading expert on market volatility, evokes Alan Greenspan’s infamous 1996 reference, “irrational exuberance,” to explain the alternately soaring and declining stock market. Shiller’s unconventional yet persuasive argument credits an unprecedented confluence of events with driving stocks to uncharted heights, and he analyzes the structural, cultural, and psychological factors behind these levels of growth not reflected in any other sector of the economy. Now more relevant than ever, this analysis is both chilling and convincing—a must-read for the individual investor, the policy maker, and the investment professional.Producer: Lisa Cahn

What the critics say
New York Times Bestseller
"Should be compulsory reading for anybody interested in Wall Street or financially exposed to it."
—The Economist
"The national bestseller that revolutionized the way we think about the stock market"
—Robert J. Shiller
“A dose of realism that serious investors will ignore at their peril.”
—The Wall Street Journal
One of Business Week’s Ten Best Business Books of 2000
“Irrational Exuberance [is] a dazzling, richly textured, provocative book…by far the most important book about the stock market since Jeremy J. Siegel’s 1994 Stocks for the Long Run, offering a cogent statement of the bears’ view of events to come. Shiller is not merely a bear—he is a grizzly.”

With this book, I got more than what I was looking for! To me, Shiller providing us with the other side of the picture deserves 4 stars by itself.
The book is interesting but it is not much more than a list of proofs/theories that investors are irrational and the market might not be well priced. It can be a bit boring at times.
The book is accessible but it is a bit dry. You must be familiar with P/E ratio and basic stock market principles.
Insightful perspective by respectable author
