Applying wisdom and avoiding foolishness are two sides of the same coin. Slipping away from either can lead to risky and uncertain situations. Luckily, author Alexander Ineichen has been collecting witticisms for thirty-five years that have made him successful in his career and life.

In Applied Wisdom, he collects an anthology of wit and wisdom containing over 700 quotations from sources as wide ranging as Thomas Aquinas and Frank Zappa. He provides entertaining food for thought for businesspeople and the general audience alike, and enables readers to think outside the box to find wisdom. These nuggets, along with his commentary for each, are the valuable words needed for those facing risk and uncertainty.

The witticisms provide a full range of being level-headed, truth seeking, brutally heretical, wonderfully insightful, refreshingly politically incorrect, and other intellectual treats and provocations. The advice, blending economics, politics, history, philosophy, psychology, risk management, and much more, provides a winning mix of humor, intellectual heft, and economic survival tips.

Ineichen has put together a wonderful collection of market wisdom by extraordinary people and put them in the right market context. It is a must-read for any serious investor, as it is simply outstanding! - Felix W. Zulauf, founder of Zulauf Asset Management and Barron roundtable member I find Ineichen's insights, research, and wisdom to be of lasting value. He is in a class of his own and you can attend that class. This priceless book will be on a shelf near me for constant perusal and meditation. - John Mauldin, Co-founder of Mauldin Economics and four-time New York Times best-selling author If you want to listen to the best thoughts of what works and why in investment management, the wisdom collected in this book will give you great pleasure. - Charles D. Ellis, CFA and author of The Loser's Game One of the best investment books I ever read. Alexander's nowcasting methodology helped substantially to optimize my investment activities. - Cuno Puempin, PhD, Professor emeritus, University of St. Gallen, Switzerland It was the 16th century English poet Thomas Tusser who quipped 'a fool and his money are soon parted.' That echo resounds throughout this cleverly written book. Ineichen uses common sense and wit as his weapons of choice, all the while, holding a mirror up to our capital markets. - William J. Kelly, CEO of the CAIA Association Ineichen brings his attention to detail and thoughtful perspective to remind us all about timeless truths regarding the markets and investing. This is the one book every investor should keep on their desks for regular review! - Jane Buchan, co-founder of PAAMCO and CEO of Martlet Asset Management
