Overview

Non-consensus thinking has resulted in breakthrough successes in science, sports, and silicon valley.

Rupal shows how to apply it to the world of investing, to maximize returns while minimizing risk. She illustrates how misdiagnosing quality can be the mother of all mistakes or the mother-lode of all opportunities and how patience is the smart move, not the slow one.

“One thing I have learned from this exposure is that women are the same all over the world. We make the same mistakes, fall into familiar traps, and hold ourselves back—everywhere. We don’t raise our hand, don’t feel qualified to seek promotions or confident of assuming leadership roles. Many don’t believe they deserve more or better and resign themselves to a lifelong second-class citizenship. Those who believe they could do better professionally choose not to do so for fear it will set them back personally, ruin their relationships, or make them unsuitable partners. Even those who have the ambition often lack the validation; they wonder whether the struggles and sacrifices will be worth it. Often, we don’t see enough role models to believe that it is possible, let alone worth fighting for. . . As a woman who has experienced and overcome many of these feelings, I am sharing certain aspects of my own journey in the hope it will help to dispel many of these concerns by offering some advice and encouragement.”
