This book humanized money for me.

How so?

We look at money with cold, hard logic. Only, it isn’t. Money is interwoven with human needs, desires, and life history.

Morgan Housel’s book “The Psychology of Money: Timeless Lessons on Wealth, Greed, and Happiness” explains that. It helps us understand our psychology to make better financial decisions.

This 20-chapter book is jam-packed with life and money advice for both, amateurs and experienced. This is why it makes a perfect read for a beginner.

“Investing is not the study of finance; it’s the study of how people behave with money.”

Here are the most compelling takeaways from this book.

We may not realize it, but our financial decisions could be terribly biased

Our unique life experiences unsuspectingly affect our choices.
