The Psychology of Money

Timeless Lessons on Wealth, Greed, and Happiness

De: Morgan Housel

Narrado por: Chris Hill

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.

great thoughts on money management

as someone with all the paper qualifications (degree from Wharton, CFA, years of buy and sell side experience) this book address the stuff they didn't teach that turned out more important than all the math I did. just a great and short listen. I don't know much about assessing the narrator's performance - he has a pleasant voice and didn't distract from the story. perhaps that is the best we can ask for for a book like this!

Great Book—Will listen again

I am surprised by how many people didn’t find this book amazing. It’s short, easy to listen to, and I learned a lot from it. The author doesn’t lecture, just lay out the facts and psychology behind our financial moves. Consumerism worked for the US economy in the past, but will not in the future as time and environment are different. With QE and low savings rate, the economy is going to the road of peril that needs great people to bring us back on track.
The performer was good enough and very clear in speech, and just like listening to a friend talking. Only thing is the recording is not great so you hear the pausing and the throat clearing.

The Simplicity of the Author’s Financial Plan

Very interesting review of post-WW2 America and how we got where we are today.

Excelent Reflexion on our Society

I started a instropected trip and stumbled with this book. It has a clear and low registered language in our economics and how it had been affected by the inconsistent level of economy.
Interesting and easy to read.

Want to get the most of every other investment book? Read this one.

Align your psychological framework with your investment framework so your investment execution can actually succeed.

Muy fácil de digerir y buena narración

El contenido es muy bueno, más para aquellos que no somos financieros. Lo recomiendo bastante.

A great read!

learnt a lot from this book and even more after I read it a second time.

One of the best books on money

This was one of the most thoughtful books I have listened to about money. Morgan brought a unique perspective with very engaging stories to exemplify the lessons. As a fan of Market Foolery, I was great to hear Chris narration. Absolute recommend!

Wish I had this years ago-sent it to my daughters.

Incredible book. Sent it to my daughters. This book is life changing. Surprisingly simple, clear minded, easy to understand overview on what is an emotionally(!) driven series of events that can make your life all the easier or more difficult. Please please please listen. Wish I had it years ago. Would have saved me a few fortunes.

Timely and timeless

What an objective look at how we got to where we are and where we might be going.
