Same as Ever

What you'll learn

Morgan 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.
