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 strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life�s most important topics.
