5.0 out of 5 starsLearn from Guy Spier
Reviewed in India on 8 May 2017
Guy Spier has opened his heart in writing this book. You may not learn a lot about value investing in this book but, if you are interested in making a career in the capital markets, this book will prove very valuable. To err is human but to learn from others' errors is smart. This book gives you the opportunity to learn from the author's mistakes so that you can shorten your learning curve.

3.0 out of 5 starsDifficult to judge this book.
Reviewed in India on 12 March 2017
The problem is that I have read so many books on investments that I am suffering from literary constipation. There is only so much you can write about in this particular subject.
Some positives about this book- The opening chapter is the best part of the book. It describes his time working in a dishonest Wall Street firm at the start of his career.
The author's observation on how corrosive and poisoness the Bloomberg terminal can be if used too frequently is also noteworthy. Those multiple screens with blinking lights and moving graphs and flashing numbers don't mean a thing if the user does not possess a skilled mind.

In conclusion I would like to state that I admire the author more then his book

5.0 out of 5 stars An honest book
Reviewed in India on 26 July 2018
Verified Purchase
The author is very open about his mistakes, learning process, his weaknesses, etc. And offers practical advice to become a better person and better investor. If you are looking for advice how to identify stocks or do valuation, then this is not the book you are looking for. A good read for someone who is starting on his investment journey.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb book - potential to change many facets of your life
Reviewed in India on 23 June 2022
Verified Purchase
I have read this book over and over for the last 7 years. And every few months when I re-read it, I learn something news. About investing, about organizing my life, about conducting myself and about learning from others.

While this is pre-dominantly about investing, it does so much more.

You learn a great life trait by a simple act of Guy Spier when he writes three thank you notes to all and sundry. You learn a great method trait when Guy tells you that staring at prices every third day could be detrimental. You learn a great investing trait when Guy tells you about the gains he had from a 'posse'.

There is lots to like about this book, and some points to disagree with too maybe. But thats what a good book does, in my mind. It makes you think and agree/counter the thoughts expressed.

Read it - whether purchased yourself or on loan, and believe me, you wont regret it.

Reviewed in India on 13 June 2021

This book will not help on understanding how to value businesses but it makes us strong and path to grow to be better human in life so that it makes our investing life calm, poised and dependable. Guy's knowledge in various topic and his views and application on investing has made this book must read. You will find the right temperament for investing which many talks rarely about.

It's an okay book. If you have read Making of an American Capitalist, Snowball, Damn Right - there's nothing new in this.
