What to expect

The Sunday Times Number One Bestseller.

Over 10 million copies sold around the world.

The original book from Morgan Housel, the New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author of Same As Ever and The Art of Spending Money.

As featured on the Dr Chatterjee podcast Feel Better, Live More and The Diary of a CEO podcast with Steven Bartlett.



Doing well with money isn't necessarily about what you know. It's about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people.

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 and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life's most important topics.

Critics Review

It’s one of the best and most original finance books in years.
Jason Zweig, The Wall Street Journal
<i>The Psychology of Money</i> is bursting with interesting ideas and practical takeaways. Quite simply, it is essential reading for anyone interested in being better with money. Everyone should own a copy.
James Clear, Author, million-copy bestseller, Atomic Habits
Morgan Housel is that rare writer who can translate complex concepts into gripping, easy-to-digest narrative. <i>The Psychology of Money</i> is a fast-paced, engaging read that will leave you with both the knowledge to understand why we make bad financial decisions and the tools to make better ones.
Annie Duke, Author, Thinking in Bets
Housel's observations often hit the daily double: they say things that haven't been said before, and they make sense.
Howard Marks, Director and Co-Chairman, Oaktree Capital & Author, The Most Important Thing and Mastering the Market Cycle
Morgan Housel is one of the brightest new lights among financial writers. He is accessible to everyone wanting to learn more about the psychology of money. I highly recommend this book.
James P. O’Shaughnessy, Author, What Works on Wall Street
Few people write about finance with the graceful clarity of Morgan Housel. <i>The Psychology of Money</i> is an essential read for anyone who wants to make wiser decisions or live a richer life.
Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of When, To Sell Is Human, and Drive
