Good guide to psychological fallacies.
Good read. There's a ton of fascinating information in here on the numerous psychological quirks and fallacies that humans fall pray to, with an emphasis on those relevant to traders. The main actionable point being that we need to have consistent rules and procedures in place to counter our own psychological frailties.
My main criticism of the book was although there is a great deal of good information here, it's not organized in a way that aids memory or allows you to process it very clearly.
Pratt is his usual competent self as the narrator.

A useful summary/reminder, by not much new
This book provides a useful summary and reminder of common decision making pitfalls, but these are the same as are commonly mentioned in many other books, so there isn't much new here.
Main takeaway is to follow process, as this gives much better results than our default decision making tendencies outside of process.

Good book to introspect investing behaviour
Easy book to listen to with lots of examples and results of experiments done over a period of time. Key is taking time out after reading, doing an honest self-reflection, looking out for behavioural patterns in investing & making appropriate changes.

behave!
just the right length. covers the main bad habits that all investors must work to overcome - habits that probably served cavemen very well, but routinely cause investors to lose money.
Montier is clearly a very good writer, and his style translates well to audiobook format.

Pause for thought before acting on instinct
Evolution's legacy is distorted 'rationality'.
Herd behaviour, and multiple biases do not equip us well for rational investment and disinvestment decisions.
This book is easy reading but it's messages are hard to learn. it's a useful primer in humility.

brilliant insights to self sabotage
We all think we are better than we are and this book explains simply why that is the case and suggests ways of addressing it. if we cannot accurately analyse our decisions then how can we expect to improve our performance. every investor needs to read this book and take notes to do a self check once in a while as it will undoubtedly improve their results and therefore profits
