The Psychology of Money: Timeless lessons on wealth, greed, and happiness

**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.

I am disappointed. I really wanted to like this book, but I got very little helpful insight from the revelations, advice or information therein.

This is quite tricky at first I thought I would get extra information about how to make money but unfortunately I live in a third world country which most of the examples can not be applied even all of them Also another point is that it inly talks about America and what happened financially there. So most of the knowledge shared in this book will be more useful to people who lives or want to know about American history .
