Stay calm : learn to embrace uncertainty in investing and life / Booth, David (David Gilbert)
From one of the pioneers of index investing and a founder of factor investing comes a clear, calming, and empowering guide to building true wealth -- rooted not in predictions, hacks, or market timing but in the science of how markets actually work. For more than 50 years, David Booth has been at the centre of a monumental transformation in personal finance. As founder of Dimensional Fund Advisors, Booth has worked alongside Nobel laureates Gene Fama, Merton Miller, Myron Scholes, and Robert Merton, helping to transform investing from a game of speculation into a discipline grounded in evidence, diversification, and long-term thinking. In Stay Calm, he shares the lessons, mindset, and stories behind that revolution -- and shows readers how to apply them in their own lives. Warm, wise, and refreshingly free of jargon, Stay Calm is both a practical guide to long-term investing and a philosophy for living with clarity and confidence. Whether you're just starting out, rethinking your financial plan, or guiding others, this book will change the way you think about markets, risk, and what really matters.
