The Psychology of Money: Timeless Lessons on Wealth, Greed, and Happiness

Doing well with money isn’t necessarily about what you know. It’s about how you behave. And behavior is incredibly hard to teach, even to really smart people.

In the real world, people don’t make major financial decisions on a sterile spreadsheet or with mathematical formulas. Instead, they make them at the dinner table or in a high-stakes meeting room—places where personal history, your unique worldview, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are all scrambled together.

In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 gripping short stories that explore the strange, counterintuitive ways people think about wealth. He strips away the heavy financial jargon to show that managing money, investing it, and making business decisions is less about science and math, and far more about human psychology and soft skills. This book is a masterclass in re-engineering your mindset to make better sense of one of life’s most important, and often stressful, matters.
