FAQ
Questions about Finance & Decision-Making on MasterTheBook.
- Is there a MasterTheBook study guide for Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds or The Wealth of Nations?
- Not yet. Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds and The Wealth of Nations are on the MasterTheBook catalog roadmap under Finance & Decision-Making: planned, with no study guide built and no committed date. A title moves up because readers asked for it, not because a calendar said so. You can ask to be emailed when one ships. The 2 Finance & Decision-Making titles that already have a finished guide are listed on this page.
- What does a finished MasterTheBook guide add to a Finance & Decision-Making book?
- A finished guide turns a book into practice: retrieval questions you answer from memory before seeing the text again, a confidence rating on each one so calibration errors surface, and an adaptive spaced review schedule that returns sooner to the concepts you keep missing. Work climbs the Transfer Ladder — recall, explain, recognize, apply, critique — so you end up able to use the idea, not just recognize it. That is retrieval practice rather than rereading, which held up on delayed tests in Roediger and Karpicke (2006). A planned title has none of this built yet — it is a book we intend to build a guide for, nothing more.
- How many Finance & Decision-Making titles are planned, and how is the order decided?
- 5 Finance & Decision-Making titles are queued and 2 have a finished guide today. A title moves up because readers asked for it, not because a calendar said so. Asking to be emailed about a planned title is what moves it up the queue. No planned title carries a committed ship date.
- Can I buy or preview a planned Finance & Decision-Making title now?
- No. Planned titles are not purchasable and there is nothing to preview — no curriculum exists behind them yet. A MasterTheBook subscription covers the titles that already have finished guides, and the free preview needs no card. Ask to be emailed and you get one message when a planned title ships.
