About this listen

This book was designed to reduce mistakes.

Your mistakes with money.

Tiny errors, epic fails and everything in between.

You can do thousands of things right, but make just a few of the errors we discuss, and you destroy much of your portfolio.

If you could learn how to avoid the unforced errors investors make all the time, you would make your life so much richer and less stressful.

The counterintuitive truth is avoiding errors is much more important than scoring wins.

How Not To Invest shows you a few simple tools and models that will help you avoid the most common mistakes people make with their money. Learn these, and you are ahead of 98% of your peers.

Make fewer errors, end up with more money.

We all make mistakes. The goal with this book is to help you make fewer of them, and to have the mistakes you do make be less expensive.

For a finance industry professional, this book reminds of a lot of biases and practices to avoid. However, there was practically nothing new that would enhance one's well established investment approach.

Big fan of Barry but this book was just OK

A thorough and honest unpacking of what we all need to know in the field of markets and money.

I am grateful to the author for taking the time and trouble to distil his knowledge and experience into this book. I may listen again!

I enjoyed the upbeat delivery of this book and found much of its content exceedingly relevant to my finances and life in general. An unexpected but very good piece on spending money later in the book has been very influential. Thank you!

Telling it as it is!
