#001 Morgan Housel on The Psychology of Money

In this episode, Julia La Roche (@julialaroche) is joined by Morgan Housel (@morganhousel), the best-selling author of “The Psychology of Money,” with over 2 million copies sold worldwide. Even Morgan was surprised by the book’s viral success after being turned down by every major New York publisher before being picked up by London-based Harriman House.

“The Psychology of Money” surfaces timeless lessons on wealth, greed, and happiness hiding in plain sight. During this conversation, Morgan takes us inside his writing process. Morgan also shares stories of the rich throwing gold coins into the Pacific Ocean (for fun!) only to later go broke to the janitor who died with a secret multi-million dollar fortune. Plus, learn why Warren Buffett is NOT the best investor of all time and why average individuals who can’t even remember their investment account passwords are beating the hedge funds.

Morgan Housel is a partner at Collaborative Fund, a board member of the Markel Corporation, and a former columnist at The Motley Fool and The Wall Street Journal.
