Book Overview

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 hard to teach, even to really smart people.

Managing money, investing, and making business decisions are often seen as purely mathematical problems. But in real life, financial decisions are made in complex human contexts—at the dinner table, in the boardroom—where emotions, personal history, ego, pride, and social pressure play a major role.

In The Psychology of Money, Morgan Housel shares 19 engaging short stories that explore the strange and often irrational ways people think about money. This book offers powerful insights to help you understand and improve your relationship with money.
