When it comes to money, being successful is not necessarily linked to what you know. It's more about how you behave. And teaching people to behave is really difficult, even with very intelligent people.
What we know about money - investments, personal finance and business decisions - is commonly taught as a mathematical area where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world, people don't make financial decisions through spreadsheets. They do them at communal dining or in meeting rooms, where their personal experiences are, own unique vision of the world, ego, Pride, marketing and other unusual stimuli mixed together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories with you, in which he reviews, how people think about money, and teach you how to better understand one of the most important factors in human life, which money undoubtedly is.

This is one of the best and most original books on finance in years.
