Since its first publication, Michael J. Mauboussin's popular guide to wise investing has been translated into eight languages and has been named best business book by BusinessWeek and best economics book by Strategy+Business. Now updated to reflect current research and expanded to include new chapters on investment philosophy, psychology, and strategy and science as they pertain to money management, this volume is more than ever the best chance to know more than the average investor. Offering invaluable tools to better understand the concepts of choice and risk, More Than You Know is a unique blend of practical advice and sound theory, sampling from a wide variety of sources and disciplines. Mauboussin builds on the ideas of visionaries, including Warren Buffett and E. O. Wilson, but also finds wisdom in a broad and deep range of fields, such as casino gambling, horse racing, psychology, and evolutionary biology. He analyzes the strategies of poker experts David Sklansky and Puggy Pearson and pinpoints parallels between mate selection in guppies and stock market booms. For this edition, Mauboussin includes fresh thoughts on human cognition, management assessment, game theory, the role of intuition, and the mechanisms driving the market's mood swings, and explains what these topics tell us about smart investing. More Than You Know is written with the professional investor in mind but extends far beyond the world of economics and finance. Mauboussin groups his essays into four parts-Investment Philosophy, Psychology of Investing, Innovation and Competitive Strategy, and Science and Complexity Theory-and he includes substantial references for further reading. A true eye-opener, More Than You Know shows how a multidisciplinary approach that pays close attention to process and the psychology of decision making offers the best chance for long-term financial results.

The world today comes with a list of challenges. Figuring out how to get your feet planted and get your finances on track should be easier, but we’re not always prepared with the best information despite the best education. Enter The Millennial Money Fix, a candid guide to understand how to handle your money with the obstacles of today. This book will get you through each step including: Identifying honest and realistic goals. Selecting and paying for a college or graduate program. Mastering cash flow to jumpstart your life. Navigating the job landscape to do what you love. Planning for marriage, babies, and all that gushy stuff. Redefining retirement as your ability to do what you want.

The International Bestseller New York Public Library's "Top 10 Think Thrifty Reads of 2023" "This book blew my mind. More importantly, it made financial independence seem achievable. I read Financial Freedom three times, cover-to-cover." —Lifehacker Money is unlimited. Time is not. Become financially independent as fast as possible. In 2010, 24-year old Grant Sabatier woke up to find he had $2.26 in his bank account. Five years later, he had a net worth of over $1.25 million, and CNBC began calling him "the Millennial Millionaire." By age 30, he had reached financial independence. Along the way he uncovered that most of the accepted wisdom about money, work, and retirement is either incorrect, incomplete, or so old-school it's obsolete. Financial Freedom is a step-by-step path to make more money in less time, so you have more time for the things you love. It challenges the accepted narrative of spending decades working a traditional 9 to 5 job, pinching pennies, and finally earning the right to retirement at age 65, and instead offers readers an alternative: forget everything you've ever learned about money so that you can actually live the life you want. Sabatier offers surprising, counter-intuitive advice on topics such as how to: * Create profitable side hustles that you can turn into passive income streams or full-time businesses * Save money without giving up what makes you happy * Negotiate more out of your employer than you thought possible * Travel the world for less * Live for free--or better yet, make money on your living situation * Create a simple, money-making portfolio that only needs minor adjustments * Think creatively--there are so many ways to make money, but we don't see them. But most importantly, Sabatier highlights that, while one's ability to make money is limitless, one's time is not. There's also a limit to how much you can save, but not to how much money you can make. No one should spend precious years working at a job they dislike or worrying about how to make ends meet. Perhaps the biggest surprise: You need less money to "retire" at age 30 than you do at age 65. Financial Freedom is not merely a laundry list of advice to follow to get rich quick--it's a practical roadmap to living life on one's own terms, as soon as possible.

"As I watched this video, I can't help but marvel at the awesomeness of the universe and God Almighty in how He connects the dots. A young Russian girl in deep rural Siberia fell in love with a tiny Island across the globe that she had never been to. She engulfed herself in its culture and music. A poor ambitious young man journeyed from Jamaica to Russia seeking a better life through afforded opportunities that didn't materialize and ended up in Vietnam instead. On a bored and lonely day, he saw the picture of a Russian girl on the net celebrating her birthday and casually said "Happy Birthday." Fast forward 6 years later and, as we say, the rest is history --- second book is needed." ~ M. Symister (YouTube Channel Subscriber). Our union has given birth to an international movement now known as "Life With The Stevens." With the launch of this Book Series, we are celebrating six years of marital bliss, two lovely boys and financial independence before the age of thirty-five. We want to start this series by sharing our financial journey and how we became financially independent. We hope to help other individuals all over the world by showing how we did it on the small island of Jamaica. We own multiple properties and have been able to take care of our family from our investments in real estate and the stock market. Errol has taken a sabbatical from playing professional football going on two years now. Ekaterina is a full-time mom and wife. They both started the YouTube channel "Life with the Stevens," which have grown exponentially, and their content have helped patrons to find the same success they have experienced. They also seek to document their journey in books, and this is the first in the series.
