The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel


Listen Later

This episode explores Morgan Housel’s The Psychology of Money, a thought-provoking look at how human behavior shapes financial success more than technical knowledge or intelligence. Housel emphasizes that psychological traits—such as discipline, emotional control, and understanding luck and risk—are the real drivers of lasting financial well-being. Through engaging storytelling and historical anecdotes, the book redefines wealth, shifting focus from endless accumulation to contentment and having ‘enough.’ We discuss key concepts like the power of compounding and the importance of tailoring financial decisions to individual goals and risk tolerance. While The Psychology of Money has influenced countless readers, we also examine its broader implications for financial literacy and decision-making.
