Publisher's Summary

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.

I am very disappointed with the psychology on money

No values on the psychology aspect of making money. The author is basically recounting successful end-tail anecdotes and one makes no mistakes of tracing back the corresponding “right psychology “ or strategies produced the successful results. If You want to get real money making mind, I would recommend “The Almanack of Naval Ravikant “, full of practical values. If you have read real psychology books from Alfred Adler, you will find the author need to get real psychology education himself/herself first.

Ummm....

This book will rub off differently based on the type of person you are. I got a lot of negative feels on money, enough to make me not want to care about money. I still can't bash this book, as it is very well put together.

This is not an instruction manual about finance...

This book does not provide any specific actions to take to increase your financial well-being. If you are looking for how to get rich this book isn't it. If you are looking to grow your perspective on wealth then you will find value here.

Incredible story telling

Best book I've listen this year

Yes he talks about finance but this is basically life explained. Maybe I'm partial because his point of views dit with mine but the perspective is well worth it.

An sober view on the human relationship with money

This is an excellent look on how our view and relationship with money and debt has changed over the decades. Highly recommended.
