**OVER 10 MILLION COPIES SOLD AROUND THE WORLD… The Psychology of Money is the original bestselling classic from the author of the new book, The Art of Spending Money.** 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 different ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important topics.

Absolutely brilliant. Morgan Housel insights into the Golden Age are unparalleled. I've been a mystery fan for years, but I learned so much about the social context of these books.

Very well researched and engagingly written. My only complaint is that I wanted even more chapters on the lesser-known authors of the period!

A must-read for any mystery lover. It makes you want to go back and re-read all the classics with a fresh perspective.
