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.

Reviews / Votes
It's one of the best and most original finance books in years. * Jason Zweig, <i>The Wall Street Journal</i> * The Psychology of Money is bursting with interesting ideas and practical takeaways. Quite simply, it is essential reading for anyone interested in being better with money. Everyone should own a copy. * James Clear, Author, million-copy bestseller, <i>Atomic Habits</i> * Morgan Housel is that rare writer who can translate complex concepts into gripping, easy-to-digest narrative. The Psychology of Money is a fast-paced, engaging read that will leave you with both the knowledge to understand why we make bad financial decisions and the tools to make better ones. * Annie Duke, Author, <i>Thinking in Bets</i> * Housel's observations often hit the daily double: they say things that haven't been said before, and they make sense. * Howard Marks, Director and Co-Chairman, Oaktree Capital & Author, <i>The Most Important Thing</i> and <i>Mastering the Market Cycle</i> * Morgan Housel is one of the brightest new lights among financial writers. He is accessible to everyone wanting to learn more about the psychology of money. I highly recommend this book. * James P. O'Shaughnessy, Author, <i>What Works on Wall Street</i> * Few people write about finance with the graceful clarity of Morgan Housel. The Psychology of Money is an essential read for anyone who wants to make wiser decisions or live a richer life. * Daniel H.
