Want to know the real secret to investing success?

It’s not 'buy low, sell high,' picking 'undervalued' stocks, or rebalancing winners ... just as they start to win big. Those are old rules, often repeated – and often wrong.

The secret is to break those rules!

For over thirty years, David Gardner, the Motley Fool’s Co-Founder and Chief Rule Breaker, has led millions of investors worldwide to market-beating returns through unconventional choices. His greatest stock picks have helped investors make 100+ times their money on companies including Amazon.com, Starbucks, Nvidia, Netflix, Booking Holdings, MercadoLibre, and Tesla. They look like obvious winners today, but to truly win big, you have to spot them before they're obvious.

Now, for the first time, David shares his complete playbook, giving you everything you need to apply his proven process for yourself.

Over eighteen engaging, practical chapters, you’ll discover:

• How to adopt winning investing habits and behaviours.

Great Book

As a subscriber to the fool. This work was so helpful. If you want to understand how to make long term money investing stocks one of the greats.

Time tested system

I've been a Fool for years. This is an excellent book whether you're experienced or just starting out.

Educational and entertaining

Educational without being boring. Easy to understand guidelines with examples yet forward looking. Minimum words

A Refreshing and Contrarian Approach

An absolutely fantastic listen. The narrator's voice and pacing are perfect, making the material incredibly easy to absorb. But the real star is the content itself. The principles are wonderfully contrarian and challenge so much of the conventional investing wisdom out there. If you're looking for a fresh perspective that gets you excited about the future, this is a must-listen.

Cant argue against his results!

My husband and I listened during a long car ride. We both loved it, it helped us understand how we want to invest. We have a professional investor who manages the majority of our money, we are happy with him. We have decided to set aside a portion of our future income to manage ourselves. This book helped us get on the same page. It was also an easy and fun listen. Thank you!
