About this listen
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 strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important topics.

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
After listening to this book, i feel lighthearted, and i am feeling more confident to focus on my own need and lifestyle because if money cannot help me to feel enough in life, why should i pursuit this financial power to begin with?
I’d say this is a very spiritual self help book instead of a guide to riches. It helps me to feel valid and grounded as a person in a world where how much you make marks how much you achieve.
A very good listening experience over all.

I wish I had listened to The Psychology of Money, 40 years ago.....................................
It actually reflects my father's philosophies. and he did well in life.......
Listen to "The Psychology of Money" and "Profit First: Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine" By Mike Michalowicz and you will change your financial life.
I did a couple of years ago and it has made my family and companies COVID 19 proof. I kept all staff on full wages.
and business is already back to normal with funds available to take advantage of the opportunities.
