The Psychology of Money
Morgan Housel
A collection of short essays on why people make the financial decisions they do, and how luck, ego, and personal history often matter more than the numbers on a spreadsheet.
Each chapter is a self-contained idea, which makes it easy to read in small chunks. Housel is more interested in behaviour than formulas - why people take risks, why luck matters, what enough looks like. Nothing here felt like a sales pitch for a particular investment strategy, which I appreciated.
