Gary Belsky Bücher

Lemminge sind einfach drollig. Tollpatschig laufen die süßen kleinen Nager stur geradeaus, bis sie auf ein Hindernis treffen. Leider sind die putzigen Wesen auch lebensmüde. Weist man ihnen nicht den rechten Weg, stürzen sie in den Abgrund. Ähnlich wie wir Menschen, wenn es um den Umgang mit dem schnöden Mammon geht. Denn auch bei uns sind Geld-Harakiri- Verhaltensweisen an der Tagesordnung. Das Stichwort heißt: Fehlinvestition. Sei es nun auf dem Aktien-, Immobilien- oder im Supermarkt – Diese Faux Pas begleiten uns durch unser ganzes Leben und kosten uns Hunderte oder gar Tausende von Euros pro Jahr. Aber: Warum verkaufen so viele Anleger zum Beispiel ihre Aktien kurz vor deren Höhenfl ug? Warum halten dieselben Anleger so starrsinnig an schlechten Aktien fest, während diese in den Keller rutschen? Warum sind so viele Menschen bereit, für ein Produkt viel mehr Geld auszugeben, wenn sie es auf Kredit kaufen, als wenn sie es bar bezahlen? Und: Welche Faktoren beeinfl ussen unsere Entscheidungen im Umgang mit Geld wirklich? Gary Belsky und Thomas Gilovich analysieren in ihrem Buch anhand gut gewählter Alltagsbeispiele die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse der Verhaltensforschung im Anlegermarkt, decken interessante psychologische Phänomene des fi nanziellen Alltags auf und helfen dem Leser sich selbst kennenzulernen, um unbewusste Fehler dauerhaft zu vermeiden.

New York Post's Pick for Best Books of the Week The scariest kind of serial killer--one you don't know exists Martin Barlow was Clare Carlson's first newspaper editor, a beloved mentor who inspired her career as a journalist. But, since retiring from his newspaper job, he had become a kind of pathetic figure--railing on about conspiracies, cover-ups, and other imaginary stories he was still working on. Clare had been too busy with her own career to pay much attention to him. When Martin Barlow is killed on the street one night during an apparent mugging attempt gone bad, it seems like he was just an old man whose time had come. But Clare--initially out of a sense of guilt for ignoring her old friend and then because of her own journalistic instincts--begins looking into his last story idea. As she digs deeper and deeper into his secret files, she uncovers shocking evidence of a serial killer worse than Son of Sam, Ted Bundy, or any of the other infamous names in history. This really is the biggest story of Martin Barlow's career--and Clare's, too--as she uncovers the path leading to the decades-long killer of at least twenty young women. All is not as it seems during Clare's relentless search for this serial killer. Is she setting herself up to be his next victim? Clare Carlson is perfect for fans of Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone and Sara Paretsky's V.I. Warshawski

Soon, there are more murders, more victims, and more questions that plunge Clare into a baffling mystery that stretches back fifty years to the epic Vietnam War.
