The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel
Since this is a investing community I would like to recommend a book about investing, The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel
There is a saying "An investor's greatest enemy is not the stock market but his own emotions"
This book provides insights into how our emotions, biasness and behaviors impact our financial lives and decisions. It goes deep into ways which our emotions, biases influences our financial decision-making.
Some key takaways from the book
- There is no reason to risk what you have and need for you don't have and don't need
- Your personal experiences with money makes up 0.00000001% of what’s happened in the world, but maybe 80% of how you think the world works
- Luck always plays a role in success
- There are many things never worth risking such as reputation, freedom, independence, family, friends and happiness no matter the potential gains
- It is easier to get wealthy than to stay wealthy
- Overconfidence can lead to bad investment decisions and how humility and caution are important for financial success.
- Emotions like fear, greed and hope can impact financial decisions and drive irrational behavior and worst if these behavior leaked into our daily lives
Thoughts
Ultimately, true measure of wealth is defined by abundance of time, freedom of choice and overall happiness
