Why Smart People Make Big Money Mistakes And How To Correct Them — Reader discussion

I found Gary Belsky's approach refreshing because he doesn't just throw numbers and charts at you but dives into the behavioral reasons behind money mistakes. It's eye-opening to realize that being smart doesn't immunize you from emotional biases or poor financial habits. One part that stuck with me was the discussion on how overconfidence can lead to risky investments. It made me reflect on my own decisions. Do you think understanding these psychological pitfalls can actually change how we manage money in the long run?

What stood out to me was how the book balances being informative and accessible, making complex behavioral finance concepts easy to grasp. Belsky's examples of common money errors felt really relatable, especially the idea that awareness is the first step toward correction. I appreciated how the book encourages self-reflection rather than guilt. It’s a great read for anyone who wants to stop repeating the same financial mistakes. How do you think this book compares to other personal finance guides you've read?
