If you love to learn about behavioral finance and how it can make you a better investor, then you will enjoy my recent conversation with Daniel Crosby. We delve into his early years and learn that Daniel grew up in a financially knowledgable family where his father referred to “debt” as that “d-word.” Daniel sees the world of finance through multiple lenses, given his background as a psychologist, financial advisor and author. We will go into detail about his latest, The Laws of Wealth: Psychology and the Secret to Investing Success, in which Daniel not only provides excellent advice but does it in an engaging way. I enjoyed it and hope you will too!
