This book reveals the secret to unlocking prosperity by working on our mindset and habits. It dispels money-myths and explains the reasons for blocks or delays in the flow of prosperity in our life. It shows how to bring abundance—not just of money, but also of love, time, attention, and good health.

Doing well with money isn’t necessarily about what you know. It’s about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. 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 and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important topics.

Embarking on any money-making venture is akin to preparing for war. If the needed skills for war and effective engagement of weapons of war are missing or not properly mastered, where priority assumes the role of option or option is elevated to the status of priority, then the war is lost even before the first gun shot. The same is the case when effective time management, risk evaluation skills, fearlessness and the ability to know when, where and how soon to take risks are missing in the armoury of any goal pursuer or business venturing. The result cannot be anything different from a trajectory down the lane into flaws, tragedy and ultimate doom. Taking an idea in business time from the moment of the occurrence of that business idea is the same as maximising every opportunity as soon as they come. It is all a question of value-placement for time and set-goals, understanding any new-demand--equation the new business is to solve, adapting to present changes required for the success of an ongoing goal or business or the possession of the knowledge that money is a means not an end. Therefore, its proper handling with effective time management will score financial excellence as the desired end ultimately. The point is this: no one can ever attain the height of success not craved for or valued. For it is the appreciation of worth (that is value) which determines commitment, consistency and eventual outcomes. For if any business or goal of any kind fails at the initial point of worth or value, then the doom of that business or goal was long predicted accurately right. Ultimately, it means that the three hallmarks of success and remaining successful were either missed from the start or they were not even considered from the first instance.
