A Better Approach to Investing
This is not a typical investment book. It is an experiential guide on cultivating the mindset and behavior necessary to weather inherently uncertain and unpredictable markets. It doesn’t just tell you how to invest, but how to think better about investing. Referencing studies on psychology, decision-making, and investment behavior, Jennings provides a no-nonsense analysis of the financial markets and a roadmap to navigating its inevitable twists and turns.
Jennings uses mental models to create a latticework of wisdom that will help you evaluate investment decisions and investment advice and provides insight into broader aspects of our complex and uncertain world. To name a few: ignore expert predictions, be wary of stories, and try to invest like a dead person.
An engaging dive into investing philosophy and best practices, The Uncertainty Solution is an authoritative, accessible guide for both lay investors and professionals inundated with financial news and data. Read this book to improve your thinking about investing, practice better investment behavior, and ultimately, have more money.
