Zurich Axioms. Mentioned elsewhere at MFO, very recently.
@Crash These were mentioned by you & posted by @bee in the Falling knife, are you willing to get cut ! thread.
Not qualified to comment, having read only about a dozen random pages. But to me, they sound like gibblygoop / mind games. If they help some others make better decisions … than that’s good.
Certain books can be therapeutic for some individuals and worthless for others. If repeatedly exposing oneself to those axioms can help someone alleviate an unwarranted fear of risk taking and help them better calculate risks, perhaps they’ll benefit. Some risk is inherent in investing. I’ve listened to much of Housel’s The Psychology of Money on audiobook. Parts of it twice. I know it’s highly acclaimed. I found it pretty basic stuff - albeit inspiring in approach. Not a bad listen at all. Something you might buy for a grandkid starting out in investing.

Is there’s a Zurich Axioms ETF yet?
