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.

This title offers a first-person diary account of living through the Great Depression, with haunting parallels to our own time. Benjamin Roth was born in New York City in 1894. When the stock market crashed in 1929, he had been practicing law for approximately ten years, largely representing local businesses. After nearly two years, he began to grasp the magnitude of what had happened to American economic life, and he began writing down his impressions in a diary that he maintained intermittently until he died in 1978.

How does money figure into a happy life?

The Perfect Introduction to Money Thinking

By: Brian Portnoy
Publisher's Summary
What happens inside our brains when we think about money? Quite a lot, actually, and some of it isn't good for our financial health. In Your Money and Your Brain, Jason Zweig explains why smart people make stupid financial decisions - and what they can do to avoid these mistakes. Zweig, a veteran financial journalist, draws on the latest research in neuroeconomics, a fascinating new discipline that combines psychology, neuroscience, and economics to better understand financial decision making. He shows why we often misunderstand risk and why we tend to be overconfident about our investment decisions. Your Money and Your Brain offers some radical new insights into investing and shows investors how to take control of the battlefield between reason and emotion.
Your Money and Your Brain is as entertaining as it is enlightening. In the course of his research, Zweig visited leading neuroscience laboratories and subjected himself to numerous experiments. He blends anecdotes from these experiences with stories about investing mistakes, including confessions of stupidity from some highly successful people. Then he draws lessons and offers original practical steps that investors can take to make wiser decisions.

Must read for someone who has lost money in stocks
First off, I can't believe this book doesn't have more 5 star reviews. I can understand to an extent because Jason Zweig went in a lot of neurology and research that is hard for laymen to understand. Since, I'm in the medical field, it was very easy for me to follow the author. I would recommend not to get bothered by those details but to focus on the gist (message) from that section.
This book is a must for any investor as we can be our worst enemy when it comes to money. This book gave me a deep understanding of why we make those kind of mistakes when it comes to money. For me, it was like I was a slave of my own brain and made blunders when it came to investing my money. This book gave me a great perspective and helped me understand my own though processes better.
It is extremely well written and the narrator is exceptional as well. The author has a great knowledge on this subject. Every chapter is well written. Highly recommended book for all investors!

Must Listen
Its great when someone like Jason Zweig takes the best work in psychology from superstars like Tversky, Kahneman, Thaler, Ariely and a host of others, and then uses it to illuminate how our brain leads us astray when investing.
As Buffett says, “By far the most important quality is not how much IQ you’ve got. IQ is not the scarce factor. You need a reasonable amount of intelligence, but the temperament is 90% of it.”
This book shines the light on that 90% of investment success and I plan to listen until I’ve absorbed it all.

Investing with Common Sense
Zweig has written a fantastic book explaining how to invest with common sense, detailing how we can each do it simply and also why many of us don’t, with some examples of investing horror stories (buy high, sell low).
Highly accessible book, even if you’re not financial literate, with great practical advice on how to beta your emotions and desire to get rich quickly.

Interesting concepts, horrible narration
Narrator talks in a low tone, I have to turn up the volume to dangerous levels when I listen while driving or while eating.
But the content is great, I only wish it was more concise.
WARNING: whenever you buy a book from a guy who writes a LOT (Jason Zweig), expect the circumlocution to be OFF THE HOOK.
I much prefer books by people who write concisely. This book is more like an academic dissertation than an "enjoyable read".
That being said, I'd probably get the physical copy, so that I can skim over the boring/wordy/unnecessary parts.
