Why Smart People Make Big Money Mistakes--and how to Correct Them

Dana Kraft

This book was published in 1999, and many of the authors' recommendations have become conventional wisdom in personal finance circles. I like how they started each section with a general theoretical concept, then grounded it with (mostly) realistic examples and "warning signs" that you may be falling victim to a specific fallacy mistake. So, I liked the book, but didn't really learn much from it.
