The Psychology of Money: Timeless lessons on wealth, greed, and happiness
What if your financial fate hinges less on spreadsheets and more on the stories whispering in your mind? The Psychology of Money pulls back the curtain on how gut instincts, ego, and luck—not logic—steer our darkest money mistakes and wildest windfalls. Through tales of billionaires who crashed and ordinary people who thrived, Morgan Housel exposes why we chase ruin or redemption with every dollar… but what if the most dangerous myth about money is the one *you* don’t even know you believe?

Description
OVER 7 MILLION COPIES SOLD AROUND THE WORLD… The Psychology of Money is the original bestselling classic from the author of the new book, Same as Ever.
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.
Money―investing, personal finance, and business decisions―is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together.
In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the different ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important topics.
