Armed with this knowledge of the unchanging, you will have a powerful new ability to think about risk, opportunity, and how to navigate the uncertainty of the future.

Achieving financial success does not solely depend on knowledge. The topic at hand pertains to one's conduct and demeanor. Teaching behavior can be challenging, even when working with knowledgeable individuals. Money, encompassing investing, personal finance, and business decisions, is commonly approached quantitatively, relying on mathematical principles. This approach emphasizes using data and formulas to guide our decision-making process. However, it is important to note that individuals typically do not base their financial decisions solely on spreadsheet calculations in practical scenarios. Decisions are often formulated during formal gatherings such as dining tables or meeting rooms, where a confluence of factors, including personal experiences, individual perspectives, self-importance, promotional efforts, and unconventional motivations, intertwine.

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the author of the international blockbuster, THE PSYCHOLOGY OF MONEY, a powerful new tool to unlock one of life’s most challenging puzzles. Every investment plan under the sun is, at best, an informed speculation of what may happen in the future, based on a systematic extrapolation from the known past. Same as Ever reverses the process, inviting us to identify the many things that never, ever change. With his usual elan, Morgan Housel presents a master class on optimizing risk, seizing opportunity, and living your best life. Through a sequence of engaging stories and pithy examples, he shows how we can use our newfound grasp of the unchanging to see around corners, not by squinting harder through the uncertain landscape of the future, but by looking backwards, being more broad-sighted, and focusing instead on what is permanently true. By doing so, we may better anticipate the big stuff, and achieve the greatest success, not merely financial comforts, but most importantly, a life well lived.

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. The field of finance, including investment, personal finance, and business decisions, is typically presented as a mathematical one, where we are given precise instructions based on data and formulas. However, people in the real world don't use spreadsheets to make important financial decisions. At the dinner table or in the conference room, people mix in their own backgrounds, perspectives, egos, prides, marketing strategies, and peculiar motivations to come up with these decisions. To help you better understand one of life's most important themes, award-winning author Morgan Housel presents 19 short stories in his book The Psychology of 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 strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important topics.
