The Psychology of Money

What’s the Book About?

The premise of this book is that doing well with money has a little to do with how smart you are and a lot to do with how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. The aim of this book is to use short stories to convince you that soft skills are more important than the technical side of money. It does this in a way that will help everyone make better financial decisions.
