About this listen

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.

Excellent Book

This is an excellent book. Some of the content is taken from the author’s blog posts, but it is compiled, and added to, in a manner that makes it worthwhile. The reader, whom some will know from Motley Fool Money podcasts, is great.

Thought provoking and immensely helpful.

Bundles of wisdom in concise & entertaining chapters. As useful for Wall St. pros as for 1st time investors.

Great book!

A lot of his ideas really resonated with me: like the purpose of money being controlling your time, good financial decision making being reasonable decision making vs rational, and how one of the most important milestones in personal financial planning is to get the goalpost to stop moving. Great book that I'd recommend to anyone who is eager to learn more about personal financial planning or is looking for a more sensible way to look at finance.

Decent, not great

Well summarized ideas but I felt it was simplistic and basic information. Very similar to a wealthy barber kind of feel.

Finally a practical book on money. It’s not telling you to purchase this or go into real estate it’s just good solid blue print

Solid practical blue print on how we as individuals can go about in navigating our money.
