This book provides a comprehensive treatment of behavioural finance. With the use of the latest psychological research, Shefrin helps us to understand the human behaviour that guides stock selection, financial services, and corporate financial strategy. He argues that financial practitioners must acknowledge and understand behavioural finance - the application of psychology to financial behaviour - in order to avoid many of the investment pitfalls caused by human error. Shefrin points out the common but costly mistakes that money managers, security analysts, financial planners, investment bankers, and corporate leaders make, so that readers gain valuable insights into their own financial decisions and those of their employees, asset managers, and advisors.

Reviews for Beyond Greed and Fear: Understanding Behavioral Finance and the Psychology of Investing
This refreshingly iconoclastic book awakens us all to how little we know about financial markets, and how much we have to discover. I particularly enjoyed the reference to the emperor's clothes worn by the mutual fund industry. Shefrin's clear reaffirmation of the fallibility of professional investors will lead even the most impressionable of investors to consider, yet again, the advantages of market indexing strategies.
John Bogle, Founder and Senior Chairman, The Vanguard Group, and author, Common Sense on Mutual Funds This book helps readers recognize, and avoid, bias and errors in their financial decisions, and modify and, it is hoped, improve their overall investment strategies.
JP Morgan Private Bank Annual Summer Reading List.
Behavioral finance is about normal people and the markets that drive them crazy. Shefrin's insights into these people and markets will provide you with solutions to many financial puzzles
as you read the book and long after you close it.
Meir Statman, Glenn Klimek Professor of Finance, Leavey School of Business, Santa Clara University Beyond Greed and Fear challenges your most fundamental assumptions about investing and uncovers psychological traps that may prevent you from achieving higher returns on your portfolio.
Martin S. Fridson, Managing Director, Merrill Lynch & Co., and author, How to Be a Billionaire Shefrin synthesizes a wealth of research and observations about human behavior and financial anomalies into a broad and deep perspective on financial markets. No other book so splendidly lays out the fundamentals of behavioral finance.
Robert Shiller, Stanley B. Resor Professor of Economics, Cowles Foundation for Research in Economics, Yale University Beyond Greed and Fear is the first truly comprehensive behavioral finance book written for practitioners. It should be required reading for portfolio managers and traders.
W. Van Harlow III, President and CIO, Strategic Advisors, Fidelity Investments Most books about financial markets overlook the human element
a serious omission since people matter on Wall Street as well as on Main Street. Beyond Greed and Fear is a fine examination of the budding field of behavioral finance. I recommend it to anyone who intends to trade with other human beings, or who is a human being.
Richard H. Thaler, Robert P. Gwinn Professor of Behavioral Science and Economics, Graduate School of Business, University of Chicago Financial practitioners, argues the author, must acknowledege and understand behavioral finance in order to avoid many of the investment pitfalls caused by human error.
Business Horizons One edition of this work should be in every investment collection
