More Than You Know

Reviews

". . . a wonderfully thoughtful and insightful book on how to think about markets and investing . . . These short essays are at once sophisticated and accessible, intriguing and entertaining . . . ideal . . . for investment novices or sophisticates."
– The Washington Post

"The Bottom Line: Its insights sparkle – and it's even a fun read. The intellectually omnivorous author . . . draws investing insights from a wide range of scholarly disciplines, from cognitive science to fractal mathematics . . . [and] illustrates often abstract concepts, from the difference between risk and uncertainty to the distinction between individual and collective decisions, by drawing upon a diverse set of characters, from gambling legend Puggy Pearson to golfer Tiger Woods."
– Business Week

"In his new book . . . Mauboussin casts his net wide, finding bits of wisdom in everything from the behavior of slime mold to horse racing that can be applied to the investment world . . . his book reads like a cross between a stock market manual and the Discovery Channel."

"In a world in which today's investment books provide magic formulas for success or simple nostrums ("buy best in breed"), Michael Mauboussin's More Than You Know is a refreshingly intelligent antidote . . . Mr. Mauboussin is especially good at explaining difficult concepts and showing the links between various fields of activity and the practical world of investing . . . [his] essays are always highly readable. The book engagingly shows how a multidisciplinary perspective can deepen your sense of how financial markets work."
– The Wall Street Journal (review by Burton G. Malkiel, author of A Random Walk Down Wall Street)

"For the past two years, I've said that the new business book explains big ideas; it shows us how to look at the world differently. The Tipping Point, Freakonomics, and The World Is Flat all fit that bill. What if one book could give you a flavor for all of them? More Than You Know comes pretty close."

"Mauboussin draws on a breathtaking variety of examples, from the feeding patterns of ants through the betting strategies of the late poker expert Puggy Pearson to the golf swing of Tiger Woods. Few readers could come away from this book without being stimulated and intrigued."
– Financial Times

". . . a fascinating medley of essays . . . anyone can appreciate its flashes of Oliver Sacks-like insight . . . I will return to these essays once a year, hungering for the wisdom and perspective found in Benjamin Graham's The Intelligent Investor."
