Author of the acclaimed work Iceberg Risk: An Adventure in Portfolio Theory, Kent Osband argues that uncertainty is central rather than marginal to finance. Markets don't trade mainly on changes in risk. They trade on changes in beliefs about risk, and in the process, markets unite, stretch, and occasionally defy beliefs. Recognizing this truth would make a world of difference in investing. Belittling uncertainty has created a rift between financial theory and practice and within finance theory itself, misguiding regulation and stoking huge financial imbalances. Sparking a revolution in the mindset of the investment professional, Osband recasts the market as a learning machine rather than a knowledge machine. The market continually errs, corrects itself, and makes new errors. Respecting that process, without idolizing it, will promote wiser investment, trading, and regulation. With uncertainty embedded at its core, Osband's rational approach points to a finance theory worthy of twenty-first-century investing.

Do you suffer from anxiety and don’t know how to control it? Do you ever have angry outbursts and want to stop? In our society, most of us have learned to suppress our emotions. In fact, we often use coping strategies—like shopping, smoking, partying, eating junk food, binge watching TV, even getting angry—just so that we don’t have to deal with them. But by doing so, we only increase our anxiety. In Not Good Enough: Understanding Your Core Belief and Anxiety, Sabrina Trobak uses practical, mindful activities and strategies to help the reader better understand and manage their anxiety. First, she delves into the importance of understanding and then challenging your core belief. Your core belief—your self-perception—affects your present-day thoughts, actions, behaviours, level of anger and anxiety, and how you deal with your emotions. Your core belief is believing you are “not good enough, not important, not valued” or that you are “good enough, important, and valued.” Sabrina states that by understanding your core belief, how it was derived, and how it influences your everyday thinking, you will be able to recognize how your behaviour affects yourself and others, resolve and challenge your unhealthy behaviours, and create a long-lasting change so that you can feel more confident in your daily life.

The very idea that the teachings can be mastered will arouse controversy within Buddhist circles. Even so, Ingram insists that enlightenment is an attainable goal, once our fanciful notions of it are stripped away, and we have learned to use meditation as a method for examining reality rather than an opportunity to wallow in self-absorbed mind-noise. Ingram sets out concisely the difference between concentration-based and insight (vipassana) meditation; he provides example practices; and most importantly he presents detailed maps of the states of mind we are likely to encounter, and the stages we must negotiate as we move through clearly-defined cycles of insight. Its easy to feel overawed, at first, by Ingram's assurance and ease in the higher levels of consciousness, but consistently he writes as a down-to-earth and compassionate guide, and to the practitioner willing to commit themselves this is a glittering gift of a book.In this new edition of the bestselling book, the author rearranges, revises and expands upon the original material, as well as adding new sections that bring further clarity to his ideas.
