Money - investing, personal finance, 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. 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. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Story
Almost every religion, spiritual practice, philosophy and person grapples with fear. The most repeated phrase in the Bible is “Be not afraid.” The ancient Greeks spoke of phobos, panic and terror. It is natural to feel fear, the Stoics believed, but it cannot rule you. Courage, then, is the ability to rise above fear, to do what’s right, to do what’s needed, to do what is true. And so it rests at the heart of the works of Marcus Aurelius, Aristotle, and CS Lewis, alongside temperance, justice, and wisdom.

What good will it do to skillfully craft a written argument if you lose your audience? Simple emails, formal reports, blogs, presentations, articles—they need punch to gain influence. Clear structure and logic alone won’t do. To engage readers, you need to make mentally stimulating choices in language—choices that electrify your readers’ mental hotspots. Veteran journalist Bill Birchard reveals the secret of making that happen. He blends the findings from a global cadre of psychologists and neuroscientists with lessons from his long, successful career as a professional writer.

An organized roadmap to get in control
The book sounds like a plan for those who lack the skill of planning their daily activities, work tasks, etc. it’s a practical guide to be in the moment and get into the driver seat of your life NOW.
The narrator’s energy is very genuine, sounds like a writer who’s sharing something he’s passionate about.
I recommend the book to the ones who struggle with too many things on their life desk and constant haunting feeling of overwhelmed out of unfinished things.

I feel attacked! lol
This os a really great book. It has so many different aspects that I liked that it is too much to type. I will say, this book highlighted a lot of negative and/or unnecessary traits that I possess that aren't really helping me in tge short or long run. I do recommend this book to those like me who had gotten comfortable with putting things off.

Very Important🩸 author to follow in the comings Years
I have quite a few Scott’s kindle books accumulated over the years. The truth is this one is the first I have listened fully and took notes within Audible app. Why?
I am a listener rather than reader due some vision issues and I am a slow reader.
If I would tell you how many thousand hours I have listened to Audible books since 2014 you won’t believe me( report from audible 8/23). Not because I have nothing else to do(I work full time), but I needed Audible books over come some of my personal issues.
I was shocked and amazed about the content, message, practicality, simplicity(no jargon used to impress you) with names of important authors where you can benefit further if you wish so.
I will listen to this audiobook( or go over my notes) again and I may update my review.
Happy Holidays to all.
