The Psychology of Investing

Let’s get one thing straight: you are your biggest investment risk. Not the market. Not the economy. You.

That’s the entire premise behind The Psychology of Investing by John R. Nofsinger—a fascinating, practical breakdown of how our minds mess with our money. It’s not about charts and stock picks. It’s about why you bought high, sold low, panicked during a dip, or ignored a winning streak.

This book hits hard because it’s true. Over 90% of individual investors underperform the market, and it's not for lack of information—it's because of fear, overconfidence, herd behavior, and a long list of sneaky biases. Nofsinger peels those layers back and shows you how to outsmart the real opponent: yourself.

You won’t find empty theory here. You’ll find eye-opening case studies, psychological experiments, and—best of all—actionable strategies you can actually apply. From avoiding mental traps to making more rational investing decisions, it’s a toolbox for anyone who wants to grow their portfolio without sabotaging it.
