If you are going to bet on how the stock market will move, you better have a good understanding of human behavior

To be a successful investor, it helps to understand people. And nothing does a better job than great literature in providing insight into how individuals act — what motivates them, what unnerves them and what inspires them.

We bet you can find a number of classics on the bookshelves of many investors, books by Burt Malkiel, Peter Lynch, Warren Buffett and Robert Shiller, among others. Here are some other authors who might also improve your investment returns: Jane Austen, Anton Chekhov, Leo Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoevsky.
