The Psychology of Money: Timeless lessons on wealth, greed, and happiness

Understanding Money: It’s More About Behavior Than Math

Success with money isn’t just rooted in knowledge, but more crucially, in our actions and behaviors. Even the most astute minds can struggle with this.

Traditionally, we’re taught to approach money matters—like investments, personal finance, and business choices—using mathematics. We rely on cold data and precise formulas. However, in reality, financial decisions aren’t made with spreadsheets. They’re shaped over family dinners or in conference rooms, influenced by individual experiences, personal perspectives, emotions, societal pressures, and various motivations.

In “The Psychology of Money,” celebrated author Morgan Housel presents 19 insightful stories. He delves into the unique and sometimes puzzling ways we perceive money, guiding readers to navigate the complex world of financial decision-making more effectively.
