The Psychology of Money: Timeless lessons on wealth, greed, and happiness

The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel has sold over 5 million copies worldwide and is a timeless classic on personal finance. This book goes beyond the typical math-based approach to money and dives into the psychology behind how we make financial decisions.

Housel argues that doing well with money isn’t just about knowledge—it’s about behavior. How we think, feel, and act toward money plays a much larger role in our financial success than data or formulas ever could. In fact, financial decisions are often influenced by personal history, emotions, ego, pride, and external pressures—things that spreadsheets can’t account for.

In The Psychology of Money, Housel shares 19 short stories that explore the different ways people approach money, investing, and business. Each story is designed to help you better understand your own financial mindset and make smarter decisions with your money. Whether you’re just starting out with personal finance or looking to refine your approach, this book offers valuable insights into how you can improve your relationship with money.

Through engaging, accessible storytelling, The Psychology of Money reveals how to make better, more informed choices about money, investing, and business decisions. It’s a book about understanding the emotional side of financial decision-making and how we can apply that knowledge to improve our financial lives.
