I generally do not write review, but this book made me to. This book within a month of its publication has become #1 best seller in its category. I am generally wary about things or products having very good reviews, as it is very easy to have paid reviews in age of internet. However after watching her podcast on Deshbhakt youtube channel, I decided to purchase kindle version and I was mind blown by the her insightful, nuanced, vast yet easy to understand wisdom. This book is easily one of the best books on topic. Before the age of internet, knowledge was not easily available. However now we live in the age of abundant knowledge to the extent that now the real challenge for humanity is to learn how to filter the noise coming from everywhere like finfluencers etc. This book is the perfect first step for learning towards how to approach investment with right mindset and realistic expectations. Thank you Debina Mehra for condensing your 30+ years of wisdom in such a readable and easy to digest book. A must read for everyone looking for investing in the market.

The book goes in depth explaining concepts of investment. The author has exemplified how risk and rewards are part of investment procedure. She has elaborated how investors get absorbed into the surface-level rewards of few investors without knowing and understanding the underlying loses otherwise incurred by them and/or other investors. The author has comprehensively enumerated how AI/ML with professional Human involvement can reduce the Noise in investment towards more promising and verifiable rewards. The only point of concern is that it seems that more often than not, the author is trying to market First Global and its FG-HUM smallcase investments.

I have always admired Devina's razor-sharp intellect and ability to simplify complex investment concepts. Money, Myths and Mantras is a true reflection of her decades of experience and expertise in the world of finance. This book is a masterclass in understanding markets, challenging long-held beliefs, and making informed financial decisions.

Reading this book felt like sitting across from Devina in a room, absorbing her wisdom and learning from her experiences. It is filled with real-world examples, sharp analysis, and practical takeaways that will stay with you long after you’ve turned the last page.

This book is a must read for new comers, already in the stock market people, alike . The book makes you understand that stock market is not a place for reckless money making (and loosing), yet decent incomes can be made, with the right mindset, research and time. The approach of the book is different from other books , with links to several blogs etc. Simple, easy to read book. Please read it with seriousness and enjoy the benefits that follow.

What I really loved about the book 1. It does not rehash the same old investing mantras that everyone talks about on television. In fact it shows how many of them are not true at all. 2. It is full of ideas and insights. There are I think 40 chapters and each of them takes up a different aspect of investing and explains it. 3. It is very simply and clearly written. I really like the highlights and boxes as well as the chapter summaries. Many chapters even have a QR code at the end that takes you to videos on the subject. Highly recommended

First half of the book was informative; 2nd half was repetitive. Overall, an average read.

Many basic valuable teachings are there in the book , Like the most important thing which many miss is that asset allocation mainly decides our returns more than any other thing Comparing our own self invested portfolio returns to that of a Mutual Fund, and then deciding who should handle the funds Also the book delves a lot into human psychology, decision making , biases It's more of a general investment book , rather than a stock market book Overall a great book
