Grateful for these early endorsements of The Madness of Markets. They come from a wide range of readers (investors, journalists, behavioural scientists, advertising executives, academics) and highlight the book's broad intended audience.

"In Defence of Business School": my response to the NYT op-ed that misportrays both business and business schools and makes large, unsupported leaps to claim unwarranted conclusions. alexedmans.com/in-defence-of…

Remember that asinine "It's time to shut down business" NY Times op-ed. It was so stupid that I didn't even want to engage with it, but @aedmans has written an excellent response. alexedmans.com/in-defence-of…

Belated congratulations to my friend Prof. Alex Edmans (@aedmans) of @LondonBSchool on his fantastic new book THE MADNESS OF MARKETS! It’s a great read for anyone interested in investing, the peculiarities of human nature, or better yet, both!

Read May Contain Lies by @aedmans over the Puja holidays. Why do smart people believe things that aren’t true? Usually not lack of information, he argues. We believe what we’d like to be true. My short review: sameersaurav.github.io/writi…

I'm a massive fan of the Merryn Talks Money podcast: I listen to every episode and recommend it to my students each year. It was thus a huge pleasure to appear on it – this time in person – to discuss The Madness of Markets with @MerrynSW. The episode, "How to Outsmart Your Investing Instincts", is a lively, wide-ranging discussion about the psychological biases that distort our investment decisions – and how to overcome them. What made this conversation particularly enjoyable was discussing these ideas with one of the UK's leading commentators on financial markets, who brought her own perspectives and challenges rather than simply interviewing me about the book. 🎥: lnkd.in/e5NQnSyq 🎧: lnkd.in/eeyxMfvV

🎧 The idea that stocks and bonds follow a rational path has been widely debunked. But are idiosyncrasies becoming more visible? “The Madness of Markets” author @aedmans joined Peter Thal Larsen to debate how the rules of investing have changed. Full 👉 tinyurl.com/msp97ksr

This is lovely. 🥰 Man is twice a child. Be sure to look after your parents and grandparents. It is our duty. 😊

Hi Antony, I saw your message and felt compelled to write. Twitter/X is a strange place at times made better by people who pop up and bring fun, insight or who just reach out to others and say hello. It looks from the replies you've brought plenty to many. I played at Elm Park only once, for Palace reserves in 1991, I remember it so clearly because I carried a canteen of cutlery from the ground on the train back home to Cannock as my best mate was getting married. I must have been 20 or 21. Happy days. I'm here we're part of a crazy, unhinged, funny, witty family that are English football supporters. And as a part of that family thanks for the part you played in making it probably the most satisfying family anyone can have. In Cannock, where I'm from, men went underground to make a living, it was dangerous and hard work with no guarantees of survival . Football was the saviour of many, both playing and watching. A motto came out of those mines, "out of the darkness, cometh light", used by Wolves to this day as a metaphor that good times will come. Last year I lost my Mom, my Dad and a beloved friend within months. That motto is both a painful reminder of grief and a powerful inspiration to live as best as I can. Just like you have and are. I hope you get to read this like the other messages underneath your post, a lot of people have been touched by your interaction with them here, complete strangers appreciating who you are for playing a part on their day and their life. I'm just the latest. Antony, I'll see you at the far stick. Stan

I've read half of The Madness of Markets so far. Fantastic book! It's an extremely insightful tour d'horizon of behavioral finance, written with delightful charm and humor, and is extensively informed by academic research.

The Madness of Markets is out today in the US! From Isaac Newton losing a fortune in the South Sea Bubble to AI, meme stocks and the madness of today's markets, it's been a lot of fun bringing this book to life. I'm delighted that US readers can finally get their hands on it. 📕 amazon.com/Madness-Markets-I…

Ten years ago, I offered students a free £50 in class and asked who wanted it. Many students put their hands up, but only a couple were bold enough to come forward and try to take it (even though I made clear it was freely available, and not stealing). This was a social experiment to encourage students to take every opportunity and be proactive, even if it involves discomfort and going against the grain. The £50 went to a student, Laura, who kindly tried to give it back to me after class, but I insisted she'd earned it. I was delighted to see Laura again on Friday when giving a talk to the @LBS Alumni Council. It's no surprise that the same qualities she exhibited 10 years ago are also evident in her willingness to step forward and serve her alumni community on the Council.

Thanks so much to everyone who came to the launch event for The Madness of Markets, to @MerrynSW for being a superb moderator, and @LBS for putting on a fantastic event that will live long in the memory. Out of everything I've ever written, this is the one work I'm most excited about sharing. It's about how our biases lead even smart people to make costly decisions. The direct lessons are in investing, but the broader lessons are for life.

Terrific launch last night at @LBS of @aedmans new book The Madness of Markets & fireside chat w @MerrynSW. Should be required reading for those interested in investment & financial markets.

The Madness of Markets is out today in the UK! It's on the psychology of financial markets – why smart investors make serious mistakes, and how we can overcome our biases to make better decisions.
