註釋Why do happy people make better investors? Why do most investors achieve less than half the returns they should? Why are lottery winners no happier than the rest of us? What makes mature women better investors than young men? Why do we let the Joneses next door determine what car we buy and where we take our holidays? Why are the world's two richest people giving away their fortunes? And why, if we're so rich, aren't we happier? How we think has a huge effect on our success in life and the financial markets. We're richer, live longer, and have more choices than ever. Yet many of us fail to choose the things that will make us happy. We fill our houses with more stuff, treat celebrities as gods and keep up with the Joneses at any cost. And the mental mistakes that cause us to do this, also cause us to make poor investment decisions. But making better choices is surprisingly easy. All we need to do is understand what we really want from life, ignore distractions and change the way we think about money and success. Drawing on research in psychology and behavioural finance plus their years of practical experience, Arun Abey and Andrew Ford show how to identify your real values, set goals for each stage of your life and arrange your finances to achieve them. This practical, accessible guide will not only challenge the way you think about money and happiness, it may well inspire you to change your life.
