The Psychology of Money

Your financial success does not only depend on your knowledge, but above all on your attitude. However, attitude is not something that is easily learned, even with great intelligence. Finance is often taught as a mathematical discipline, where one simply enters data and applies formulas to make decisions about investing, personal finance or economic strategy.

In reality, our financial decisions aren't made in front of spreadsheets, but rather around a family dinner table or in a boardroom. These moments are steeped in our personal history, our unique worldview, our ego, our pride, as well as complex business and psychological motivations.

In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel presents nineteen short stories that explore our unique perceptions of money. Through these stories, he helps us better understand one of the most crucial aspects of human life.
