Psychology in the Share Market: Unlocking Behavioral Secrets of Financial Success
Your fiercest opponent in the market isn't a hedge fund or an algorithm-it's your own mind. Psychology in the Share Market: Unlocking Behavioral Secrets of Financial Success shows how fear, greed, hope and panic quietly steer prices-and your decisions-far more than spreadsheets do. Blending clear explanations with vivid case studies (dot-com euphoria, 2008 panic, Bitcoin frenzies) and practical drills, Vishal K and Stewart Kennedy turn market "noise" into a masterclass on temperament. You'll learn how crowd behavior forms bubbles and busts, why loss aversion and anchoring trap even smart investors, and how to build a rules-based process that keeps you calm when headlines scream. Expect checklists, decision journaling, pre-commitment systems, and simple daily mental exercises that hard-wire patience and discipline-so you can hold winners longer, cut losers faster, and think independently when it matters most. If you've ever bought high, sold low, or second-guessed a great plan, this book gives you the behavioral edge to stop reacting-and start compounding.
Inside, you'll discover:
How the fear/greed cycle drives every boom and bust-and where to position yourself on that curve.
The five core biases (confirmation, overconfidence, loss aversion, anchoring, recency) that sabotage returns-plus advanced traps like the endowment and status-quo effects.
Crowd psychology in action: herding, informational cascades, and media amplification-and how contrarians sidestep the stampede.
Practical tools: investment checklists, decision journals, mindfulness, rebalancing rules, and "pre-mortem" drills to think clearly under stress.
Daily "mental workouts" (Third-Thought, Solitude Session, 100-Year Test) to build unshakeable temperament.
Outcome: Trade less emotionally. Invest more patiently. Build durable wealth with clarity and calm.
