Most of us grew up with the idea that there is good debt and there is bad debt. Good debts are generally considered to be debts you incur to buy things that can go up in value—like a home or college education. Bad debts are things like credit card balances, where you borrowed money to buy things that depreciate or go down in value, like most consumer goods.

It challenges the accepted narrative of spending decades working a traditional nine-to-five job, pinching pennies, and finally earning the right to retirement at age 65, and instead offers listeners an alternative: Forget everything you've ever learned about money so you can actually live the life you want.

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.

Argh
I loved David Bach's Automatic Millionare and the associated audio book - it tanslated well and was engaging.
This book would be a great read but the audio book was horrific! The author narrates through the charts in the book in a monotone voice for what seems to be unending minutes. The book and topic are well worth reading - but skip the audio book - - - I had to turn it off after the 3rd or 4th chart out of sheer boredom.
Buy the book and not the audio version for this one! - or at least read the book first

BORING! Too boring even for a financial nerd!
First, when someone is worried that they have started too late to finish rich (or even comfortable), the last thing they need to hear is that someone in their thirties is considered starting late! Most people who are likely to buy this book are probably in their late 40's and 50's and they don't want to hear how a 30 year old has 4 decades to pursue growth! They want to hear how they, the ones who truly started late, can improve their financial outlook at retirement.
Second, this book gives table after table after table. I wouldn't want to read these tables and I sure as heck don't want to listen to them. "At 3%, after 5 years you have X. After 10 years, you have X. After 15 years, you have X. After 20 years, you have X. After 25 years, you have X. After 30 years, you have X. At 4%, after..." Good grief! That goes on forever! Then it repeats again and again! I own a calculator, I can figure this out!
Third, this book is like listening to a phone book, as well as book of tables. Does the author tell us about low cost brokerages and they help achieve our goals? No. Instead, he gives us the names pretty much every brokerage that exists, along with listing their addresses and phone numbers. That is is ridiculous! In addition to my calculator, I have a phone book! Then he goes on (and on and on) about mutual funds. No, not the value of mutual funds or really how they help you meet your goals, but their names, addresses and, yes, phone numbers.
Most of this book was the tables, addresses and phone numbers! Oh, yeah, and stories of young people who didn't believe that they too could be rich in 40 years!
What did I learn from this book? I learned that I'm screwed, since I'm the likely normal person who would interested in this book...truly an older person wanting to improve my chances at finishing rich, and I don't have 2, 3 or 4 decades to do it. And if there is a way to do it, I didn't learn how from this book.

I hate to agree but ARGH!
The lists! List, after list, after list!
Nothing against the narrator, he's actually fine as far as I am concerned. Also, nothing against the book - I plan to go buy a paper copy. BUT, I just could not keep listening to the lists of information! They went on and on, well past the time when the point had been made!
If the lists were printed in a pdf to go with the book, the book would be fine, since the rest of the info is great.

Sound advice, but...
This is a good book, with some solid ideas. The detail with which he explains his theories is both good and bad. For one thing, in the printed version, there are a lot of charts, so in the audiobook the narrator reads off all the repetitive stats from the charts in a very long, monotonous way. In the text version, you would just glance at the chart, get the gist, and move on...in the audiobook, you have to listen to it for over 5 minutes sometimes. A little annoying, because you get the concept after the first few examples, then have to listen to him drone on through the whole chart.
Also, a lot of the advice relates directly to Americans only. I am Canadian, and though I found the general theories sound, the specific advice (401k, etc) was not as helpful.
All in all, a worthy buy.

Better to get a copy than Audible
It is a resourceful and helpful book and there is nothing wrong with the narration, either, but it is not suitable for an audio book since it refers to URLs many times. It was not fun to keep listening to the narrator repeating "www..." for over 10 minutes, reading a huge list of websites when I was listening to it while driving, meaning when I could not forward nor stop the audio. And of course, I need a hard copy anyway for those info which I wanted to skip during my drive.

Makes you a better person
Tells you those little things that will allow you to have a better now and a great future. I immediately did three things in the book that prior to listening to it sounded insurmountable, after listening, couldn't figure out why I didn't do it years earlier. I bought an investment building, with no real impact on my life, with little risk, with equity I didn't give consideration to in the past. It's three months later and everything is working as expected. Easy to listen to.

So simple yet so effective
There are few books that can really give you a clear step by step process to allow you to make a change or make an improvement in your life where u can see immediate effect. I got the book, listened to it through, listened again looked into different accounts, schemes etc. Set up my various pots for automated monthly savings and VOILA! Savings in an instant! So simple and so effective...
I also then listened to a couple of his other books... he's a lucky man that can basically use the same principles but changes the title of the book to give the same message. Thankfully he is articulate and to the point and conversational so he holds your attention well.
If you're struggling to get a hold of your money issues this book is a great help to get you started with immediate results!

Great Book - hard to skip unsuitable parts
Content is great but the structure on audible needs solving. First book I’ve not seen the correct chapters labelled. This means that certain chapters can’t be skipped (I’m in UK and some advice is US specific). Also, for some reason, the narration includes reading out long numerical tables in full. It would be great if you could skip this (summary is given so not necessary).
