Early Praise for Suit Yourself and a Moment of Gratitude
A few words from early readers—and what this journey has meant to me. By Benjamin Tan
I started writing Suit Yourself: A Portfolio Strategy for Every Personality Type to bridge two worlds that rarely meet: the inner world of personality and the outer world of personal finance. I wanted to explore why investing feels so different for each of us—and why that difference deserves to be honored, not erased through a one-size-fits-all approach.
What began as a personal curiosity has evolved into a book that others are now starting to see themselves in. That has been the most rewarding surprise.
As we get closer to launch on August 18, I wanted to share a few words from early readers that have meant the world to me:
“One of the biggest challenges investors face is between the ears. Learning how to manage our emotions and understanding why we do what we do goes a long way towards market success. Benjamin has written a book helping outline those challenges and how to overcome them by understanding our personality types.”
— Dave Ahern, Co-host of the popular investing podcast, Investing for Beginners
“The highest ROI activity you can do isn't analysis of a company or a sector, it's understanding yourself… Suit Yourself helps you understand how you can leverage your own disposition to maximize your strengths, and avoid your pitfalls.”
— Nathan Worden, Community Manager, Yahoo Finance
“Suit Yourself is more than an investment guide—it goes beyond sound investment strategies and provides clarity into the emotional rollercoaster of life itself… Concise, yet powerful… Definitely a book to have on any bookshelf, to read, and to reflect upon repeatedly over time.”
— Felicia Teng, CPA and Founder of Get Counting
“Benjamin Tan's Suit Yourself provides an insightful exploration of investment strategies through the lens of the Enneagram personality framework. Through his entertaining use of pop culture references and personal stories, Tan turns complicated financial ideas into understandable concepts while providing customized investment strategies for people to match their portfolio choices with their personal characteristics.”
— Dr. Patrick Behar-Courtois, Author of Maximizing Organizational Performance
Writing this book stretched me in all the right ways. Publishing it has stretched me even more. I am grateful to everyone who believed in the core message: that the best investment plan is the one that suits you.
