Joachim Klement is one of the smartest commentators on the markets today. This is one of the best books on finance I've ever read. It is packed full of insights. Every investor should read it. --Brett Arends, MarketWatch It is a well written story, simple to read, very fluid and at the same time full of insights. I like the mix of personal experience and empirical findings in psychology, economics and finance et behavioural economics. It makes our mistakes a learning process. As someone once said, good decisions are based on experience and experience is based on bad decisions. --Yves Longchamp, Head of Research, SEBA Bank AG This is a valuable add to any investor's bookshelf. There is more than enough wisdom contained within to justify its purchase price. --Jason A. Voss, Author, Return of the Active Manager Most of our investment mistakes derive from the fact that humans have a hard time dealing with uncertainty and complex systems.
