While much has been written about the failures of individual decision-making, the implications of behavioral finance extend to the corporate sector and to the regulatory and government sectors as well. Professor Zhu shows us how decision-making in all of these arenas is actually influenced by a common set of psychological tendencies that, in turn, tie back into fundamental human nature. The book demonstrates not only why behavioral finance is important, but it also shows how our personal analytical limitations can be overcome, once we recognize them.' - William N.
