The Psychology of Money: Timeless Lessons on Wealth, Greed, and Happiness

Ahoy there, wonderful book clubbers!

Welcome, welcome! Gather around! This month we will be looking at The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel.

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.

Please only RSVP and attend if you are reading the book. Absolute minimum requirement is that you have read a summary or outline of the book so that you can contribute to the chat. Thank you, wonderful folks!
