More Than You Know: Finding Financial Wisdom in Unconventional Places

by Michael J. Mauboussin

star4.3

Mauboussin draws on psychology, complexity theory, evolutionary biology, and sports to build a multidisciplinary toolkit for investors. He argues that great investing requires recognizing probabilistic thinking, base rates, feedback loops, and the difference between skill and luck, insights more often found outside finance textbooks than inside them.
