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.

If you think money can’t buy happiness, you’re not spending it right. Two rising stars in behavioral science explain how money can buy happiness—if you follow five core principles of smarter spending. If you think money can’t buy happiness, you’re not spending it right. Two rising stars in behavioral science explain how money can buy happiness—if you follow five core principles of smarter spending. Happy Money offers a tour of new research on the science of spending. Most people recognize that they need professional advice on how to earn, save, and invest their money. When it comes to spending that money, most people just follow their intuitions. But scientific research shows that those intuitions are often wrong. Happy Money explains why you can get more happiness for your money by following five principles, from choosing experiences over stuff to spending money on others. And the five principles can be used not only by individuals but by companies seeking to create happier employees and provide “happier products” to their customers. Elizabeth Dunn and Michael Norton show how companies from Google to Pepsi to Crate & Barrel have put these ideas into action. Along the way, the authors describe new research that reveals that luxury cars often provide no more pleasure than economy models, that commercials can actually enhance the enjoyment of watching television, and that residents of many cities frequently miss out on inexpensive pleasures in their hometowns. By the end of this book, readers will ask themselves one simple question whenever they reach for their wallets: Am I getting the biggest happiness bang for my buck?

Are you ready to probe how your heart relates to your wealth? Are you more focused on building God's Kingdom or your own?With a blend of biblical wisdom and stories of courageous people in some of the world's most vulnerable places, reading this book can help us explore how to maximize all we are and have for the glory of God. We discuss training our hearts to put their security in God, dethroning the idol of money, uprooting its related weeds of the heart (idolatry, pride, entitlement, presumption, possessiveness and envy), and displacing them with life-giving gratitude and generosity. Our hearts are then free to embrace what - or who - is on God's heart, namely the poor and the lost. We must also expunge the heretical notion that devalues God's good creation and his bountiful provision through it. This is key to seeing wealth creation as a spiritual gift and living into our callings as recipients, multipliers and conduits of God's overflowing blessings. It is wrong for us to use wealth to isolate ourselves from the messy lives of the poor. Rather, we're called to follow Jesus in sharing the sufferings of others and practicing our oneness with brothers and sisters in the global church. It is right to enjoy the material blessings God bestows - but not solely with people like us. We are to take seriously Christ's command to invite the poor to our dinner parties! We must follow Jesus across the divide into the lives of those whose dignity needs affirming and hope needs awakening. We can help develop their economic capacities to take care of their own families while learning from their stellar examples of dependence on God, generous hospitality, and unshakable gratitude. Then all will have plenty to share and find abundant joy in loving our neighbors and sharing together in God's goodness.
