The Psychology of Money: Timeless lessons on wealth, greed, and happiness
About this product
**OVER 10 MILLION COPIES SOLD AROUND THE WORLD… The Psychology of Money is the original bestselling classic from the author of the new book, The Art of Spending Money.**
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. Read more
Editor's Take
Amazon reviewers and Goodreads readers overwhelmingly describe The Psychology of Money as an easy, highly readable book that changes how they think about money, especially around patience, behavior, and long-term wealth. Several reviewers praise its short chapters and relatable stories, while others say it is light on actionable tactics and offers limited depth for experienced investors.
On review blogs, the most common praise is that Morgan Housel explains behavioral finance in a memorable, human way. The most common criticism is that the advice feels broad and the examples lean toward American, affluent perspectives.
Reddit-style discussion is not strongly represented in the gathered results, but the broader web consensus is clearly mixed-positive: many readers call it a mindset reset and a must-read, while a smaller group says it repeats familiar ideas from other behavioral finance books.
The YouTube search results included several real videos about this exact book, including review and lesson-summary videos.
