Story
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.

The Happiness Hypothesis is about ten Great Ideas.

Award-winning psychologist Jonathan Haidt, the author of The Righteous Mind, shows how a deeper understanding of the world's philosophical wisdom and its enduring maxims can enrich and even transform our lives.

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

Every day there are moments when you must persuade, inform, and motivate others effectively. Each of those moments requires you, in some way, to play a role, to heighten the impact of your words, and to manage your emotions and nerves. Every interaction is a performance, whether you're speaking up in a meeting, pitching a client, or walking into a job interview.
Written by: Michael Port
Publisher's Summary
“A unique voice on money, one singularly attuned to...his generation.” (San Francisco Chronicle)
Buy as many lattes as you want. Spend extravagantly on the things you love. Live your rich life instead of tracking every last expense with Ramit Sethi’s simple, powerful, and effective six-week program for gaining control over your finances.

With his characteristic no-BS perspective, he shows how to squeeze every hidden benefit out of your credit cards. Crush debt and student loans. Learn the exact words to negotiate a raise. Set up an automatic payment system and get on with your life. Plus, new material on overcoming psychological barriers, love and money, new investments options, and real audience stories of how applying Ramit’s principles led to a rich life.
“Don’t let the breezy, irreverent style of this book fool you. It contains serious advice on personal-finance decisions, from budgeting and savings to spending and investing.” (Burton G. Malkiel, author of A Random Walk Down Wall Street)

annoying read with unsubstantiated opinions
really struggled to finish this book. the author had a couple good point but frequently pointed out how a number of his opinions or recommendations have changed from the first version of this book. respectfully I feel that a lot of his position is opinion based rather than fact based and I suspect his third version will come back peddle a number of recommendations from version 2.

It's ok.
Mildly entertaining. Very, very basic information unless you know literally nothing about common personal finance strategies. Highly focused on cutting small expenses like fees. Not much focus on how to generate a lot of income. Quite repetitive, there's really no need for the amount of time taken to drive home certain points. A couple of interesting nuggets. The author's opinions feel real and authentic which is good. It's fine, but no more than that.

This book WILL NOT teach you to be rich
At best it will teach you how to choose the best credit card for rewards points, big deal, you can’t retire on rewards points.
This book provides zero advice on how to actually accumulate wealth. At best it provides advice that may guide you to a lower middle class education about money and getting out of debt. There are 1000’s of better money books. Leave this one on the shelf

Absolutely Awful and Aura Of Egomania
I listened to the first hour of this goddamn book and I already got the point. He brags about how his book has transformed people so much by sharing stories after stories — he never gets to the point. He also fails to understand that he will never know what being a lower SEC can do to people since he hasnt looked at any social sciences paper in his life. Cold, unforgiving and rude just like any successful businessman. He was well off to begin with so why take his advice to get rich? Btw I am in no way a low SEC myself and this book was so unbearable.

Just okay
Most of the investments, banking and credit card recommendations don't really apply for Canadians. The author comes across as a bit arrogant and lacks humility in the way he describes his methods. There are tips and tricks that certainly help and the overall recommendations are good, but could be summarized pretty quickly. Still a good read/listen regardless.

Amazing book!
I love that Remit Sethi narrated his own book! One of the most well read books I've ever read on audible. It was interesting, entertaining, motivating, and encouraging! He gives you all the tools and mindset you need for your rich life. I love his simple yet powerful approach, focusing on the big wins and allowing people to spend on what they love! Would recommend to everyone!

Repetitive - should be retitled.
Pros: Book is very insightful about how to create systems to be financially responsible with the money you are already earning / how to grow it incrementally over time. However, the title does not represent what it's actually about, the book needs to be renamed, --I get he's trying to sell the book, but the title is pretty misleading and should be renamed to "How to be financially responsible." (See Cons)
Cons: The book has no real answer to getting rich, unless you want the obvious answer — GET A HIGH PAYING JOB & invest your money and save your money over many years with a retirement fund. Ramit constantly talks about how much he hates the advice: "Stop going out for coffee," however the amount of times he brings it up is more than i've actually heard in real life. Basically the book states that the best way to get rich is to get a job that pays you a lot of money / invest & save the extra money. Wow thanks for that amazing information, I didn't know that was the answer...

NO, IF YOU ARE OLDER OR LOOKING BEYOND BASICS
I was many chapters in waiting to learn something new that I wasn't already doing to some degree. Finally, he mentions that this book is for those who are younger. That's how you get rich...start young. I'm going to listen to the end but it's hard because I'm hearing about tactics and strategies I am familiar with for an extended amount of time.

He only gets a few things right. Niche reader only
This book is only for young people who have a 9-5 corporate america 401k sort of job. Everyone else, pass on this book.
Pros: Best part he gets right is his section on Credit Cards but you probably don't need this book to find the info. If you know zero about how to use CC's then yes, go for the book. He says Bank of America and Wells Fargo are awful and I agree!! Longterm investment strategies? 100% agree! He also has great showmanship in this book.
Cons: He judges people by how they eat chicken wings? WTH kind of nonsense is that. He also, says people who end sentences with "..." are crazy um...okay, cool... Also, said Financial Advisors are all weirdos and unnecessary. I know plenty of advisors personally and yeah, some are weird but half the people in any sort of industry are weird, including authors.
Plus, not all advisors are out to take you for a ride. Are some? Absolutely! Find a company that holds their advisors to a Fiduciary standards bc they do exist, maybe only a few, but they are out there. (FYI, FINRA enacted a law last year or the year before that ALL advisors have to be held to this standard now so...)And an advisor can really tell you how much money you need to retire, in a FREE consultation.
Also, in what world does the stock mkt give you an 8% return consistently, even during recessions?? I know for a fact there are places you can invest for a tax free return (Yes, TAX FREE interest) at a 5% return which is recession proof. Sounds to good to be true? It's not, but you will need to consult an advisor to set up this unicorn of a strategy.
The author keeps touting reader reviews who said they have saved $100k in I think like 5 or 7 years (Cannot recall exact #) since reading his book and at age 38 are set to retire at 54...um, what? $100k is great, but in retirement might as well be $100 bc that is not even close to what most need.
The author makes plenty of apologies for things he got wrong with his first edition of this book which leads me to wonder, what will he apologize for getting wrong in second edition when he comes out with a third?
(If you are wondering, NO I am not an advisor nor do I work for a firm. I DO however have longterm investments, longterm care insurance, disability, and life etc and if anything happens to me my family is taken care of forever. And yes, you can do all this without working for a Corporate America job)

Surprised by the negative reviews
I get it that this book is towards the younger crowd and that it teaches the basics, but for someone who has read other financial books and articles, this book was still very helpful. I’m honestly surprised by the negative reviews towards small portions of the book rather than obtaining the full grasp of the book’s messages.
Yes, I knew some of the things Ramit was saying before I listened to the book, but that is not enough for me to put 1 star and call it trash. Also, people call the title misleading because he doesn’t teach how to INSTANTANEOUSLY get rich, which sounds immature if you think about it.
I guess it’s just me but when I read/listen to books I just obtain the information that I didn’t know and keep it moving, instead of complaining about it and call it trash where Ramit has clearly helped a multitude of people with their personal finances.
Anyways, it was a great book. Definitely helped me on some aspects of my life. Highly recommended.

This was a great book! I have been researching the FIRE community and personal finance in general. This book gives some good advice that is in line with Dave Ramsey and other finance personas. But I like some of the different directions he suggest for savings, investments and perspective on spending. I’d recommend this book for someone who is looking to start their journey into personal finance but wants something that is easy to understand.

where's the beef?
interesting personal stories but other than that there's really not much to it. Personally recommending "The Richest Man in Babylon" versus this.

Very specific for USA
The book gives great advice, but it is very USA-specific. Although with some care, main concepts can be applied internationally.

Only if he could stop putting his emailers’ feedback!!
This book is full of his emailers feedback and many many ‘I will teach you how’. Get to the point already.

Basic money habits
Found this book to be very basic advice on personal finances such as setting up a bank account, opening a credit card, starting a 401k, etc... this might be good for someone who is either right out of school or new to money. Some of the advice though I did not agree with and not sure why it's called a 6 week program. Thought it was also kind of odd to start the first chapter off with using credit cards to earn points for free trips. Although this can be true, this probably is not sound advice for someone who doesn't already know about everything else that is taught in this book. Overall I think the book lacked structure and was repetitive at times which made it boring and just not for me.

Really? Be rich?
I appreciate the book and I would like to thank Ramit as writing a book is not easy but there’s a big but. The title of the book is very misleading. Yes you can be rich but I don’t want to wait until I’m 70! Come on dude! Such a waste of time and money. Don’t waste your money. Pls change title!

Some (necessary) hard truths
I've always been totally crap with finances and since I hit 30 I have started to panic about it and read a lot of finance books to unlearn everything my parents taught me. although this book is mainly for Americans I have managed to look up some French alternatives and apply them to my investing. it also has some hard truths which aren't much fun to listen to but it has helped me a lot to think about them and accept them. I recommend this book although I understand that older people might not find much use for it.
