Same as Ever
Read the insightsMorgan Housel is a partner at the venture capital firm The Collaborative Fund, a former columnist for The Motley Fool and The Wall Street Journal, and the author of the bestselling The Psychology of Money.
In Same as Ever, Morgan Housel argues that while technology, politics and markets change constantly, human behavior does not. Instead of trying to predict a future no one can see, he suggests studying what has always been true: how people respond to risk, greed, fear, opportunity and stories. You’ll learn why history turns on tiny accidents, why the biggest risks are the ones nobody sees coming, how expectations shape happiness, why calm periods breed crises, and how experience and incentives quietly shape what we believe.

The Psychology of Money
Read the insightsMorgan Housel is a partner at the venture capital firm Collaborative Fund and a former columnist for The Motley Fool and The Wall Street Journal; he has twice won the Best in Business Award from the Society of American Business Editors and Writers. In The Psychology of Money, Morgan Housel argues that doing well with money has less to do with intelligence or technical skill than with behavior, and behavior is notoriously hard to teach. Through a series of short, story-driven lessons about janitors and executives, lucky breaks and sudden ruin, he shows how ego, envy, fear, and personal history shape our financial choices, and why patience, humility, and a clear sense of “enough” matter more than any formula.
