The Behavioral Gap
Overview
When emotion gets in the way of making smart financial decisions, the distance between what we should do and what we actually do is the “behavior gap.” Using simple drawings to explain the gap, author Carl Richards will demonstrate how to think about your approach to investing and how to recognize and avoid common, emotionally driven mistakes.
