Behavioral Finance

Whether you're mired in loss aversion, suffer from anchoring bias, or you're sorting your portfolio into various mental accounts, investor biases will prevent you from maximizing your wealth. But you can learn to challenge your own biases and prevent costly investment errors! In Behavioral Finance and Your Portfolio, veteran investor and advisor Michael M. Pompian delivers a thorough grounding in the most important investor biases you're likely to encounter when making crucial investment decisions. 

In The Behavioral Investor, psychologist and asset manager Dr. Daniel Crosby examines the sociological, neurological, and psychological factors that influence our investment decisions and sets forth practical solutions for improving both returns and behavior. Listeners will be treated to the most comprehensive examination of investor behavior to date and will leave with concrete solutions for refining decision-making processes, increasing self-awareness, and constraining the fatal flaws to which most investors are prone.

Behavioral finance is a field that merges psychology with financial decision-making, providing insight into how human emotions and cognitive biases affect the way individuals handle money. Unlike traditional finance, which often assumes that people act rationally and make decisions purely based on available information, behavioral finance acknowledges that psychological factors can lead to irrational behaviors.

Professor Meir Statman, established thought leader in behavioral finance, explores how life well-being, the overarching aim of individuals in the third generation of behavioral finance, is underpinned by financial well-being, and how life well-being extends beyond financial well-being to family, friendship, religion, health, work, and education.
