Mindful Money: How to Overcome the Number-One Enemy of Financial Success

“Craig Verdi has written an easy-to-understand guide to financial success. His message is clear: Turn off the news, turn down your brain. As he says, investing is a project for decades, not days.”

“This book addresses very well the needs of two types of investor: For the new investor, the author draws from over 30 years of his own experience and the wisdom of other well-known investors. Craig points us to the fundamental problem we all face in starting our financial journey: finding a fiduciary advisor and then getting out of our own way. For experienced/successful investors, this book lends comfort to experienced investors (including me) who have followed the basic advice of the author and made money in the process.”

“It’s behavioral finance explained in a manner that most people will understand. In a world where our eyes and ears are glued to CNBC or Bloomberg—a continual source of overwhelming information to the point where good decisions are no longer made—Mindful Money does an excellent job framing what the real issues are with building wealth. It’s simple to understand and it’s easy once you get it—and this book tells you how to do it.”

“Mindfull Money should be on the top of every investor’s must-read list. Easy to understand and sprinkled with amusing (but very educational) anecdotes, the book provides an excellent primer around the basics of investing. Where is really shines though, is in exploring the subtle cognitive forces that shape investor behavior-often in adverse ways. By opening investor’s eyes to those behavioral dynamics, Mindful Money can help us all overcome the ‘brain wiring’ that frequently sabotages our best laid financial plans”
