\nBook Summary:
\ nDoing well with money isn't necessarily about what you know. It's abou t how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach\, even to really smart peo ple. Money--investing\, personal finance\, and business decisions--is typi cally taught as a math-based field\, where data and formulas tell us exact ly 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 ro om\, where personal history\, your own unique view of the world\, ego\, pr ide\, marketing\, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Ps ychology of Money\, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 shor t 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.
