Book Review
The Psychology of Money, by Morgan Housel
Doing well with money isn’t necessarily about what you know. It’s
about how you behave. And behaviour 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 precisely what to do. But people don’t make financial
decisions using spreadsheets in the real world. They make them at
the dinner table or in a meeting room, where personal history, your
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.
