The Psychology of Money By Morgan Housel
 Being successful with money is not necessarily a function of your knowledge. Behavior has a lot to do with it. Even the smartest of individuals have difficulty teaching behavior. Finance, investment, and business decision-making are typically taught as math-based fields, where data and formulas provide us with specific instructions. Nevertheless, financial decisions are not made on a spreadsheet in the real world. It is made over dinner, in a meeting room, where the complexities of personal history, your unique perspective on the world, ego, pride, marketing, and strange incentives are jumbled together. Award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories about the strange ways people perceive money and explains how to make better sense of one of life's most important issues.
