Money isn't just about numbers—it's about behavior. Through 19 captivating stories, award-winning author Morgan Housel reveals how psychology shapes our financial decisions and ultimately determines our success with money.
This groundbreaking audiobook challenges traditional views of finance as a math-based field, exploring instead how personal history, worldview, ego, pride, marketing, and various incentives influence our financial choices in unexpected ways.
