Publisher Description
From the bestselling author of The Psychology of Money and Same as Ever, lessons on harnessing the power of money to live a happier life
Most of us don’t know how to spend money. We chase things that impress others but leave us cold. Or we save endlessly, afraid to spend on what would actually make life better. We confuse admiration with envy, comfort with excess, and utility with status.
The Art of Spending Money doesn't provide budgets, hacks, or one-size-fits-all solutions. It gives you understanding of how your relationship with money shapes your decisions—and how to reshape it so money works for you.
Morgan Housel’s work has helped millions rethink how they earn, save, and invest. Now he turns his attention to the other side of the equation: how to spend. With insight and warmth, he shows why the most valuable return on investment is peace of mind, why expectations matter more than income, and why doing well with money has less to do with spreadsheets and more to do with self-awareness.
This book isn’t about getting rich. It’s about getting the most out of what you already have—and learning to want what’s worth wanting.
Customer Reviews
Packed With Wise and Thoughtful Insights
I really enjoyed this one! Wisdom oozes out of every chapter..no fluff just to make a longer book. No telling how many how many gems are packed into this book! The narrator also did a great job. I highly recommend this one.
Solid 10/10
Just listened to it in one day. Going to listen to it a few more times.
If you only read one author…
Morgan Housel understands human interaction with money, investments, and economics at a once in a generation level. I’ve been in finance and investments for 35 years and when kids and friends ask me investment advice, I tell them to read Morgan Housel. It’s really that simple. Taken together with Nassim Taleb and Daniel Kahnneman, you’ve got a power three that’s unbeatable. This book has as high an ROI of anything I’ve ever read.
