**OVER 8 MILLION COPIES SOLD AROUND THE WORLD… The Psychology of Money is the original bestselling classic from the author of the new book, Same as Ever.**
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 different ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important topics.

Great for people who want to be Financially Insightful!
Definitely a good book to start your financial literacy journey with! This book literally set the foundation of my new perspective on being more mindful with my money and my approach to when and how to save and spend! This book opens your eyes to concepts and ideas that improve your knowledge of financial literacy ultimately making you see earning money/spending money/budgeting money and money patterns throughout time in a whole new light! This book has been advertised all across YouTube and other social media outlets and as someone who has purchased the book, I can verify for you there’s a good reason for it! I certainly recommend.

Best investment book
I ordered seven investment books and read them all. This one is required reading for anyone interested in learning about money, the psychology of investing, thoughts on wealth, as well as other factors including the importance of money, happiness, and how we define success.

Very very good.
My background: financially unhealthy, controlling and financially abusive (by definition, not my diagnosis) upbringing.SO background: one parent financially astute but not at all risky and one who is a spending addict.This books seems mis-labeled to me. It is using the premise of finances and money as examples, but the focus is human psychology and what drives individuals. There is some study on financial habits of the financially successful. But overall, it is a study on human behavior and why we risk, what we risk versus why and what we stay safely away from risk.The books has been helpful in that I have had to deal with and work through my issues with money, trust issues with people and shedding some light into why it might be people do what they do.This books reminds me of ‘How to Win Friends and Influence people,’ in many ways. It is not like ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad.’Morgan Housel does an excellent job explaining why people risk what they do, and also don’t.Having completed a chapter 7 Bankruptcy in 2018 to buying a house (second starter home) in 2021… I hope to continue improving my personal financial world, and that of the world around me, for the sake of my kids and any future generations. This book does an excellent job continuing that education, and also my education in the psychology of humanity.Frankly, I can’t say enough about the book. It’s a good beach read, bored out of my mind read, need some challenge read, airplane read… whatever. Sitting at your desk or cubicle and need to preoccupy myself read.I will be adding a hardcover to my library. This would be a fantastic gift to those who have an interest in psychology or finances. Or anyone just interested in better understanding humanity. Frankly, it takes the glam out of “glamour” for me.The author humanized people. He doesn’t set them on a pedestal. He explains what they have done from a functional financial standpoint and then distinguishes that success is objective… or maybe that’s just my takeaway?Regardless, this book has certainly caused me to “Go home and rethink my life.”I highly, highly recommend it.Oh:~ Editing is phenomenal! I haven’t found a spelling or grammar mistake yet *starts screaming like a little girl*.~ Morgan Housel breaks down the psychology of what makes us… human: what happened to us impacts who we are and what we do. He further explains HOW and gives actual relatable examples.~ Stock Market and investing is a baby-new-world. Thank YOU! What worked yesterday will not, cannot work today or tomorrow because it is chronically changing, growing up, adjusting.~ Morgan Housel touches heavily on empathy and compassion. Respect, sir! Absolute respect!

what an amazing book. it really opens your mind about how you see wealth and money.my personal rating 11/10.
Lucas Torres Lopes Asfora –
Lovely book with very well thought-out insights and at the end a confession by the author on how he personnally does it. Will re-read this many times

I don’t usually read books but after reading this book I might read more.
Dennis Jacobs –
I am going to re-read this book because it entails lots of different stories that tells you about money in different contexts. It’s a MUST have if you’re either a money chaser or are in the stock market, or crypto world. Or, maybe you just want to become rich…but this book won’t tell you how to get rich: it gives you examples of other people’s experiences with money. Apply the knowledge in your life and you’ll become extremely wealthy.

Highly recommended for anyone who is considering to invest in stocks or intends to do at some point in their life. Actually, recommended for everyone who struggles to manage their finances. Written in a very simple language. Easy for a layman like me to understand.
