This chapter discusses the author's background and qualifications to write a book on the psychology of money. It explores the surprising success of his first book, attributing part of it to luck, and examines the factors that contributed to its popularity. The chapter also highlights the unique storytelling approach of the book, focusing on the misconception people have about the impact of money on happiness.
We may live in an ever-evolving world, but some things never change. The power of a good story. The miracle of compound interest. The cold, hard fact that money can’t buy happiness. This is the deceptively simple premise of “Same as Ever” by Morgan Housel. If we can master the behaviors that never change, we’ll be ready to handle whatever the future throws at us. On today’s show, Morgan sits down with Rufus to share some of the timeless lessons from his new book as well as enduring wisdom from his last, “The Psychology of Money.”
