The Psychology of Money
BY MORGAN HOUSEL
#MoneyMindset #BehavioralFinance #WealthWisdom
Financial success isn't about what you know. It's about how you behave. Morgan Housel tells 19 short stories that expose the strange, irrational ways people think about money — and shows why behavior beats knowledge every time. No spreadsheets, no formulas. Just the psychology behind the decisions we make at the dinner table, in the boardroom, and everywhere in between. With over four million copies sold worldwide, The Psychology of Money is the rare finance book that actually changes how you think — not just what you invest in.
The Art of Spending Money
BY MORGAN HOUSEL
#SpendingWisely #MoneyBehavior #SmartChoices
Most of us know how to make money. Almost none of us know how to spend it well. Morgan Housel (author of The Psychology of Money ) argues we chase things that impress others but leave us cold, save endlessly out of fear, and confuse comfort with excess. This book isn't about budgets or hacks — it's about understanding the relationship between money and meaning. The core insight: the most valuable return on investment is peace of mind. Expectations matter more than income. And doing well with money starts with self-awareness, not spreadsheets.

1929
BY ANDREW ROSS SORKIN
#WallStreet #MarketCrash #FinancialHistory
The crash that reshaped a generation — told like never before. Andrew Ross Sorkin (author of Too Big to Fail ) takes readers inside the 1929 crash with newly uncovered documents and an eye for the human drama behind the ticker tape: visionaries and fraudsters, euphoria and ruin, alarm bells that were dismissed until it was too late. The parallels to today are striking — soaring markets, political tensions, and the seductive belief that "this time is different." More than history, 1929 is a blueprint for understanding the cycles of speculation we keep repeating.
