Publisher Description
Doing well with money isn’t necessarily about what you know. It’s about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people.
Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together.
In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important topics.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Being “good with money” might seem like a question of intellect, but as financial expert Morgan Housel explains in this illuminating listen, wealth has more to do with the heart than with the head. With an approachable style, Housel gets into just how much of the way we save, spend, and invest has to do with our emotional behaviours rather than our savvy with numbers. Then, by applying lessons from history, psychology, and politics to everyday life, he offers practical strategies for how we can change those behaviours and make better choices. We really connected with the way Housel explores concepts like luck and risk, not to mention the compelling stories he uses to illustrate his points (like why so much of Warren Buffett’s impressive net worth came after his 65th birthday). Narrator Chris Hill has a smooth cadence that’s a great match for Housel’s intimate approach. Get ready to understand your relationship with money on a whole new level.
Customer Reviews
Okay
I liked the book. Only downer was his misinformed version of B. Gates. He looks up to this guy and worships him which is odd. Otherwise
some good thought in the book. It’s also quite easy to read.
