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.

The Western Finance Association is currently inviting submissions for our 2027 Annual Meeting, June 27-30 in Indian Wells, CA. Deadline Nov 18; website is westernfinance.org/submit-a-paper/.

I am delighted to announce that the Keynote Speaker will be Nicholas Barberis of @YaleSOM. Nick is a pioneering scholar in behavioral finance, an outstanding teacher, and an incredible mentor to PhD students.

"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.

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.

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.
