Who This Author Is
Andy Kessler writes about finance with a runner’s discipline: clear, practical, and focused on performance. In Running Money he uses running as a recurring metaphor to explain investing principles, risk management, and the habits that help traders and individual investors stay disciplined through market cycles.
The book blends personal anecdote, market observation, and actionable guidance — training-like routines for capital allocation, position sizing, and mental resilience. Readers looking for a straight‑talk, process-driven approach to managing money will find concrete techniques and mindset lessons woven through Kessler’s running-themed framework.
