| disclaimer for financial advice: The Psychology of Money Morgan Housel, 2020-09-08 Doing well with money isn’t necessarily about what you know. It’s about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. Money—investing, personal finance, and business decisions—is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important topics. |

| disclaimer for financial advice: 20 Lessons from 20 Years Anton Tagliaferro, 2019-11-20 Many investors find navigating the sharemarket a daunting task as the market continues through its unpredictable cycles. Each boom brings a new fad or theme that excites investors who are bombarded by hype in the media. During these times, some companies reach extreme valuations, as investors get caught up in the froth and bubble. Inevitably, these often-irrational booms are followed by sharp corrections as reality catches up. High-quality stocks are not immune to market corrections but good-quality businesses, generating real earnings, tend to recover better over time and as calm is restored to markets. Investors Mutual Limited's (IML) quality and value investment philosophy is based on the premise that a company's share price will reflect its underlying value over the long-term. IML employs an active research-driven approach to identify companies that meet IML's quality criteria and then determine an appropriate valuation. Following this approach since 1998, IML's funds have experienced returns that are more consistent and less volatile than the Australian sharemarket. The sharemarket will continue to evolve, and while this book is not meant to be a complete guide to investing in the sharemarket, hopefully, these lessons, which cover how IML has invested over the past 20 years, will be of value to investors over the next 20 years. |

| disclaimer for financial advice: Anti-Diet Christy Harrison, 2019-12-24 Reclaim your time, money, health, and happiness from our toxic diet culture with groundbreaking strategies from a registered dietitian, journalist, and host of the Food Psych podcast. 68 percent of Americans have dieted at some point in their lives. But upwards of 90% of people who intentionally lose weight gain it back within five years. And as many as 66% of people who embark on weight-loss efforts end up gaining more weight than they lost. If dieting is so clearly ineffective, why are we so obsessed with it? The culprit is diet culture, a system of beliefs that equates thinness to health and moral virtue, promotes weight loss as a means of attaining higher status, and demonizes certain ways of eating while elevating others. It's sexist, racist, and classist, yet this way of thinking about food and bodies is so embedded in the fabric of our society that it can be hard to recognize. It masquerades as health, wellness, and fitness, and for some, it is all-consuming. In Anti-Diet, Christy Harrison takes on diet culture and the multi-billion-dollar industries that profit from it, exposing all the ways it robs people of their time, money, health, and happiness. It will turn what you think you know about health and wellness upside down, as Harrison explores the history of diet culture, how it's infiltrated the health and wellness world, how to recognize it in all its sneaky forms, and how letting go of efforts to lose weight or eat perfectly actually helps to improve people's health—no matter their size. Drawing on scientific research, personal experience, and stories from patients and colleagues, Anti-Diet provides a radical alternative to diet culture, and helps readers reclaim their bodies, minds, and lives so they can focus on the things that truly matter. |

| disclaimer for financial advice: Financial Feminism Jessica Robinson, 2022-05-31 As we face global challenges like climate change and inequality, what if women could use their investments to build a cleaner, fairer and more sustainable world? Financial feminism--the belief in the financial equality of women--has been gathering momentum, largely in the context of the gender pay gap: on average a woman earns 80% of what a man does. But there's another gap--the gender investing gap--which shows women are investing less than men, saving less for retirement, and parking more in cash. When compounded by the gender pay gap, this results in a significant shortfall, but there's more to financial feminism than simply addressing these gaps: women also care about where their money is invested and the impact it can have. In this practical and accessible guide, sustainable investing expert Jessica Robinson shows how through financial feminism, women can use their financial power to invest in a sustainable future and build the kind of world they want to live in. With jargon-free explanations and real-world examples, she demystifies the financial services industry, breaks down just what sustainable investing is and demonstrates the societal and environmental impact of the investment decisions we make. Arming women with the information they need to get started--and keep going--she hopes that more women will embrace financial feminism, invest to grow their own wealth and, in doing so, use their financial decisions to demand a better world. |
