This is no ordinary investment book. It goes beyond the basic investment framework as it dives deeper into how our mind works and how we can calm our mind when distractions surface, in order to arrive at the right investment ideas. It draws reference to various scriptures, especially “Yoga Sutra”, written thousands of years ago by Maharishi Patanjali - the founder and ultimate guru of Ashtanga Yoga. In addition to providing a simple overview of the complex investment ecosystem, primarily equity, the book dives deep into the workings of the human mind and explains how it can be enriched with the insights of the Patanjali Yoga Sutra.
