The Psychology of Money

Morgan Housel · 2020

Doing well with money has little to do with how smart you are.

Summary

Housel argues that financial outcomes are driven less by knowledge and more by behavior — patience, humility, and the ability to avoid disaster. Through nineteen short essays he explains why two people with the same education can end up wildly different financially, why luck and risk matter more than we admit, and why a janitor can outsave a Goldman partner. Tail events, time, and tolerance for boring matter most.
