Book excerpt: Most books focus on how to pick stocks. In the current environment when markets are high this book focuses on what matters including the need for big picture assessment and asset allocation. It is a very relevant and important book today. Also suggests the important point that investing is full of making mistakes and is not something like arithmetic. S Naren, CIO ICICI Prudential The book covers a huge amount of subject matter in a simplified manner, with a logical and structured flow of ideas. Really appreciate the comparison of investing to an airplane descent- from a 30,000 feet view, all the way to the ground view. The book is an excellent analysis of both aspects of investing - the science and the art. Venkatesh Sanjeevi Fund Manager Franklin Templeton
