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.

Everyone is born curious. But only some retain the habits of exploring, learning, and discovering as they grow older. Those who do so tend to be smarter, more creative, and more successful. But at the very moment when the rewards of curiosity have never been higher, it is misunderstood and undervalued, and increasingly monopolized by the cognitive elite. A "curiosity divide" is opening up.

Publisher's summary
Over 40 years ago, Games People Play revolutionized our understanding of what really goes on during our most basic social interactions. More than five million copies later, Dr. Eric Berne's classic is as astonishing and revealing as it was on the day it was first published. We play games all the time---sexual games, marital games, power games with our bosses, and competitive games with our friends. Detailing status contests like "Martini" (I know a better way), to lethal couples combat like "If It Weren't For You" and "Uproar," to flirtation favorites like "The Stocking Game" and "Let's You and Him Fight," Dr. Berne exposes the secret ploys and unconscious maneuvers that rule our intimate lives. Explosive when it first appeared, Games People Play is now widely recognized as the most original and influential popular psychology book of our time. It's as powerful and eye-opening as ever.

Our gut is almost as important to us as our brain, yet we know very little about how it works. Gut: The Inside Story is an entertaining, informative tour of the digestive system from the moment we raise a tasty morsel to our lips until the moment our body surrenders the remnants to the toilet bowl. No topic is too lowly for the author's wonder and admiration, from the careful choreography of breaking wind to the precise internal communication required for a cleansing vomit.

Human beings are primates, and primates are political animals. Our brains, therefore, are designed not just to hunt and gather but also to help us get ahead socially, often via deception and self-deception. But while we may be self-interested schemers, we benefit by pretending otherwise. The less we know about our own ugly motives, the better - and thus, we don't like to talk, or even think, about the extent of our selfishness. This is "the elephant in the brain".

Everyone is born curious. But only some retain the habits of exploring, learning, and discovering as they grow older. Those who do so tend to be smarter, more creative, and more successful. But at the very moment when the rewards of curiosity have never been higher, it is misunderstood and undervalued, and increasingly monopolized by the cognitive elite. A "curiosity divide" is opening up.

It also explores topics that listeners will relate to, but often misunderstand, such as "opposites attract", "people use only 10% of their brains", and "handwriting reveals your personality", and provides a "mythbusting kit" for evaluating folk psychology claims in everyday life.

One wrong move can undercut your message. Believe it or not, our bodies speak louder than our words. Postures, gestures, and expressions convey reams of information - and often not what you'd expect. A smile, for example, is usually considered welcoming. But crook one corner of your mouth higher, and you project superiority, subconsciously chasing other people away. Without Saying a Word explains how even the subtlest motions have meaning.

Interesting and practical
The material is difficult to properly comprehend and would require multiple readings to fully understand and appreciate.
Some reviews mention it’s hard to follow along and in print would be better. I agree that it likely will be easier in print; however, the book does come with the charts but I fear most people don’t know or don’t use the pdf that accompanies it. I suggest you review the printed material that accompanies the book.
This book was written a very long time ago and cultural references have since changed. Instead of playing games, the reader should strive to view the material without constantly judging the author’s use of gender and cultural references and instead focus on the important aspects of what is being said.
Much of the material was new to me and I think will be new to most who will listen. I don’t think much of this is taught anywhere these days. It’s somewhat academic and difficult to understand at first but for those very interested in learning practical psychology in everyday life, I think it will present some very meaningful ideas.

Berne is intelligent and arrogant.
While human interaction could be described as a game, I believe that it is highly inappropriate for psychiatry professionals to gaslight patients into believing that they are playing a "bad" game. because of the authors insistence that most human actions and interactions are games, it gives a general feel of humans being more evil then good.

A groundbreaking book that is now dated
the book is really very much outdated. while it was a classic at one point, he relied too much on Freudian and analytic theory which is now not considered accurate and current anymore. still in so, his underlying theme that what people are doing is playing a game rather than actually trying to do what they are doing on the surface, is accurate. the best example of this is why don't you yes but. this is known today also as help rejecting complaining. this is when a friend asked you for advice and every piece of advice you give they shoot down. the objective of the game according to burn, is not to get helpful advice is it appears. the object of this game is to win. to be able to shoot down as many of your suggestions as possible. that way they win.

Great Idea! Terrible format for audiobook
This book was great. I'd like to start by addressing that many reviews mention the "sexism". Yes the way women and men are talked about is not culturally appropriate now, 50 years ago when this book was written that was the norm. To all the whiney people who could "barely" stand to finish on account of the sexism, seriously learn to see roles as what they are, and substitute necessary words to whatever floats your boat and won't enrage your inner SJW. Example: I'm a married man, and for most of the marital games I put myself in the position of housewife. The role of housewife certainly existed and still does. It might even be your role, offended feminist man.
This book has great ideas. But the execution is horrible for an audiobooks. Certain parts are impossible to understand because it's like the narrator is reading points off a chart. Be warned. Also, it's very short. With that in mind, the author is highly recommended by me.
