A Wall Street Journal and Amazon bestseller
The most important, yet severely underestimated skill in modern society
There are people who make a lot of money but end up bankrupt, and there are people who make very little but manage to donate large sums to charity. Why is that?
Because financial outcomes are related to luck and risk, and are not influenced by intelligence or personal effort. More importantly, appropriate behavior is more crucial than knowing a lot of financial expertise.
This is the psychology of money, an indispensable soft skill in today's society.
Morgan Housel, a well-known columnist for The Wall Street Journal, realized that we think about and learn about money through knowledge, rather than through understanding mindsets and behavioral patterns in investing and financial management. However, our financial behavior is deeply influenced by various emotions. Everyone views how the world operates differently, so their perspectives on how money works vary greatly, resulting in some becoming wealthy while others struggle.
In "The Psychology of Money," Morgan Housel shares many short financial stories, exploring how people think about money and teaching the skills to get rich. You will learn:
‧ The real reasons why Warren Buffett became a billionaire
‧ Getting rich and staying rich are two different, but equally important, skills.
‧ There are many things that are not worth risking, no matter how huge the potential gains.
‧ Understanding the nature and power of the long tail effect and compounding.
‧ Controlling your time is the highest dividend money can pay you.
‧ The importance of having a margin of safety.
‧ The true essence of financial freedom.
See through the essence of investing and financial management, improve financial flaws, biases, and bad behaviors
Everyone can achieve a life of financial freedom
