Book Reviews:
BusinessWeek: **** "The Good: Draws investing wisdom from many disciplines, from cognitive science to fractal math. The Bad: Brief essay chapters at times allow for too little discussion of complex matters.The Bottom Line: Its insights sparkle--and it's even a fun read.
Bloomberg News: "Mauboussin is at his best when exploring investment psychology. Humans, like zebras dodging lions, have innate physiological responses to threats: Our blood pressure rises; our short-term memory improves... As an adjunct professor at Columbia Business School, Mauboussin maintains an academic aloofness throughout. Nowhere do we learn how Legg Mason might have applied these highbrow concepts to the gritty business of buying and selling."
