getAbstract Summary: Get the key points from this book in less than 10 minutes.

This excellent, practical guide helps you apply behavioral finance information to your personal wealth management. Though Michael M. Pompian chiefly addresses a readership of professional investment advisers, any investor can benefit from learning more about the irrational factors that affect investment decisions. Readers can choose among many books about behavioral finance, cognitive biases and neuroeconomics. However, very few books can match this one's hype-free, objective and accessible exposition of this subject. The author provides a brief history of behavioral finance, a thorough catalog of noteworthy investor biases, advice on how to deal with these biases, examples and the likely direction of future research in the field. getAbstract highly recommends his book for its straightforward language, which makes it widely accessible.
