Book Description | The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel... "Few people write about finance with as brilliant clarity as Morgan Housel." - Daniel H. Pink, New York Times bestselling author of When, To Sell Is to Be Human, and Motivation "Housel's observations often have a ripple effect. They say things that haven't been said before, and they make sense." - Howard Marks, co-founder and co-president, Oaktree Capital Management "This rare writer is able to translate complex concepts into an easy-to-understand narrative." - Annie Duque, author of Thinking in Bets "Good financial performance isn't necessarily about what you know, it's about how you behave, and behavior is hard to teach, even to smart people." We often think of managing money, investing it, and making business decisions as a lot of math, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world, people don’t make financial decisions based on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table or in the boardroom, where your personal history is intertwined with your unique worldview, ego, pride, marketing, and individual incentives. In The Psychology of Money , the author shares nineteen short stories that explore the strange ways people think about money, giving you a better understanding of one of life’s most important issues. |
