Same as Ever: Timeless Lessons on Risk, Opportunity, and Living a Good Life
In a world obsessed with what changes, Same as Ever turns its gaze toward what doesn’t—the timeless truths of human behavior that shape markets, money, and decision-making across generations. With quiet force and lucid insight, it reveals how fear, greed, hope, and uncertainty echo through every boom and bust, every fortune made and lost. What if the best way to predict the future is not to chase what’s new, but to understand what never changes? This book invites readers to step back from the noise and peer into the deep patterns that govern our choices—unchanging, profound, and always present.

Description
When planning for the future we often ask, “What will the economy be doing this time next year?” Or, “What will be different ten years from now?”
But forecasting is hard. The important events that will shape the future are inherently unpredictable.
Instead, we should be asking a different question:
What will be the same ten years from now?
What will be the same one hundred years from now?
Knowledge of the things that never change is more useful, and more important, than an uncertain prediction of an unknowable future.
In Same As Ever, bestselling author Morgan Housel shares 24 short stories about the ways that life, behaviour, and business will always be the same.
Armed with this knowledge of the unchanging, you will have a powerful new ability to think about risk, opportunity, and how to navigate the uncertainty of the future.
As you see familiar themes repeat again and again in the years ahead, you’ll find yourself nodding and saying, “Yep, same as ever.”
