The Psychology of Money

Timeless Lessons on Wealth, Greed, and Happiness

Doing well with money is about behavior, not intelligence.

by Morgan Housel

Through a series of short stories, Morgan Housel argues that financial success is less about what you know and more about how you behave. He explores how greed, fear, ego, and patience shape outcomes, and why luck, room for error, and the idea of enough matter more than spreadsheets.

Founders take asymmetric risks and can confuse outcome with skill. This book teaches the behavioral discipline (humility, patience, margin for error) that protects wealth and judgment through booms, busts, and exits.
