Rational Thinking and Investing

By: Jaret Wilson

Narrated by: Adam Verner

Humans often aren't rational. We are animals, and we evolved to mate and to survive, not to compute. Although our intuitive decision-making process served us well in prehistoric times, in modern times we need to think more deliberately in order to avoid our biases.

In the first part of Rational Thinking and Investing, hedge fund manager Jaret Wilson examines the science of behavioral economics to show how and why we think irrationally, and how we can do better with a more scientific process. The second part of the audiobook applies the lessons learned to the practice of investing in the stock market. Concise and eye-opening, Rational Thinking and Investing helps listeners become not only more successful investors but also more rational decision-makers in every aspect of life.

must - read :)

I'm glad that I found this book. The theoretical knowledge is presented in a way which is easy to absorb and it contains great examples related to everyday life. I'd recommend this book to everyone who wants to understand investing and (the most important) the psychology behind it :)

The best book in my library!

Definitely will listen to it again to get it all in my head. Talented and deep work.

Guided more towards investing than rational thinking

It seemed like at the end of every chapter he mentioned how the 2nd part of the book is about investing.
