Book Review:
Morgan Housel's ''The Psychology of Money'' is a refreshing and profoundly insightful book that stands apart in the world of finance literature. Instead of focusing on formulas, stock picks, or budgeting spreadsheets, Housel explores the often-irrational, emotional, and personal ways we think about and behave with money. Through 19 compelling short stories and essays, he delivers timeless lessons about wealth, greed, and happiness. He masterfully explains concepts like the role of luck vs. risk, the power of compounding (not just financially, but in reputation and relationships), and why ''getting money'' is one skill, but ''keeping money'' is an entirely different one, rooted in behavior. The book is filled with memorable anecdotes and historical examples that make complex behavioral ideas relatable and actionable. Housel's writing is clear, engaging, and wise. This book won't tell you what to invest in, but it will fundamentally change how you think about investing, saving, spending, and defining financial success. As James Clear rightly endorses, it's a book everyone should own a copy of—whether you're a seasoned investor or just starting your financial journey.
