Morgan Housel’s book has sold over 4 million copies around the world. How good are with money, this is not a science that is necessarily about what you know. It’s about how you behave, and behaviour is hard to teach, even to really smart people.

Money investing , personal finance e, 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, but 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.

Morgan House 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.
