The Psychology of Money

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 strange ways
people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one
of life’s most important topics.
