    About this ebook

    All people are not made equal. We react to the same situations very differently and investment decisions are not exceptions. Investment is a science of decision making. Understanding our own mental makeup and biases is an important step towards developing good investment judgement. To know what biases we suffer from we have known about their existence. This book will help you do that. Apart from that, this book also introduces personality traits that affect our investment decision making.
