The Little Book of Behavioral Investing
Montier distills the most destructive cognitive biases into a slim, actionable guide: overconfidence, anchoring, confirmation bias, loss aversion, herd behavior. This isn't theory — it's market-specific application with concrete 'what to do about it' recommendations. The best single-volume introduction to why smart people make dumb investment decisions, and how to stop.
Montier's bias catalog leans on the lab psychology of the 2000s, a literature the replication crisis has since roughed up. The deeper problem is one the book concedes: knowing about your biases does not cure them. So you finish with a tour of your flaws and a checklist, which is about what the introduction promised an hour earlier.
The case for it and the rest of the canon open with Pro.
