The Psychology of Money

The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel reframes personal finance around behaviour rather than spreadsheets. Through 19 short stories, Housel examines the strange ways people think about money: the role of luck and risk, the danger of moving goalposts, the hidden cost of greed, and the underrated power of simply staying in the game. He draws on history, psychology, and economics to show that financial success is less about intelligence and more about temperament, patience, and avoiding catastrophic mistakes. Whether you are just starting your wealth-building journey or reassessing a lifetime of financial choices, this book offers enduring wisdom with zero jargon and maximum clarity.
