When setting up an investment plan, people focus on precise data, future predictions, and logical reasoning. However, what we often see is: results not meeting expectations, plans being altered due to emotions, predictions being completely off, or being hit by sudden events.
Morgan Housel, the author of this book, points out that instead of desperately trying to predict uncertain events, we should spend more time understanding constant behaviors. Whether in investment or in life, we should do the opposite: look back with a broad perspective and focus on what has never changed.
This book continues the themes of his previous work. The author uses a variety of compelling case studies, intertwined with excellent storytelling techniques, and the most straightforward narrative, to help readers understand the true nature of risk, opportunity, data, incentives, emotions, and human nature. From it, you can learn:
*Make predictions based on human behavior, not specific events.
*Managing expectations is crucial for a happy and fulfilling life.
*Stock price is today's number multiplied by tomorrow's story.
*Things that cannot be measured and predicted are the most powerful forces in business and investment.
*The only way to know where the stock price peak is is to let the market overshoot.
*The best financial planning is to save like a pessimist and invest like an optimist.
*A perfect ability comes at the cost of sacrificing another vital ability.
Everyone wants to see future business, economic, political, and social trends, but we are not good at predicting what will happen in the future. Only when you stop obsessing over predicting the unknown and focus on what is timeless can you achieve the greatest satisfaction and accomplishment in life and investment.
