Barry Ritholtz, author, wealth manager and podcast host has released a new book, “How Not to Invest: The Ideas, Numbers, and Behaviors That Destroy Wealth — and How to Avoid Them.”

Ritholtz is the chief investment officer and chairman of Ritholtz Wealth Management LLC, a financial planning and investment advisory firm. “How Not to Invest” turns the complex world of investing into an enjoyable, engaging read filled with practical insights.

With experience as the author of “Bailout Nation” and The Big Picture and host of Masters in Business on Bloomberg Radio, Ritholtz has spent decades reporting on and speaking with industry leaders across finance, technology, manufacturing and academia.

“Most people who invest their capital focus on how or what to invest in, but the true key to success lies in knowing what not to do,” Ritholtz says. “’How Not to Invest’ is a roadmap to smarter decisions, fewer regrets and a better financial future. The counterintuitive truth: Avoiding errors is much more important than scoring wins.”

Ritholtz cuts through the noise and reveals the most common mistakes investors make and how to avoid them. Whether readers are first-timers or seasoned pros, the book delivers insights for every investor.

Ritholtz spares no punches with those who have routinely made terrible, and often ill-timed financial calls. His critiques, filled with his wit that listeners and readers have come to expect, expose everything from sensationalism to conflicts of interest.

His previous book, “Bailout Nation,” was recognized as one of the Best Business Books of the Year, selected as the Investment Book of the Year and won a First Amendment Award for Outstanding Journalism.
