Your Brain on Money with Daniel Crosby - Ep 123

Crazy Money with Paul Ollinger

Educated at Brigham Young and Emory Universities, Dr. Daniel Crosby is a psychologist and behavioral finance expert who studies and writes about the intersection of financial markets and the human brain. A New York Times best-selling author, Daniel has published several books, including The Laws of Wealth and The Behavioral Investor, which we discuss in this episode. His ideas have appeared in the Huffington Post and Risk Management Magazine, as well as his monthly columns for WealthManagement.com and Investment News. Daniel was named one of the “12 Thinkers to Watch” by Monster.com and a “Financial Blogger You Should Be Reading” by AARP. In this substantive yet light-hearted conversation, Paul and Daniel examine: • Evolution and how we are the descendants of paranoid, twitchy, and skeptical ancestors • The role of self-esteem in achieving positive financial outcomes • How financial advisors (don’t call them “brokers!”) can keep yo from your own • And, of course…gazelles. He also shares insights into his guitar and sneaker fetish. (Well, maybe not “fetish,” but “obsession.”) Listen to Daniel's Standard Deviations podcast here and find his books here. ❤️ Rate and review Crazy Money by clicking here.
