The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel - Notes

  Today, in this blog I would be talking about a book that has changed my mindset and I have a new perspective now on a lot of things and that is not just about money but life as a whole. 📖 Who should read this book? This book is for everyone. This book talks about how behaviour influences our financial decisions more than logic and it talks about various ways by which we can not only become a better investor but also a better person ✍ My Highlights and Notes.

He says that he has tried to copy the moves of ...

  Pick the right book at the right time. The main reason why people hate reading books is that they chose the wrong books at the wrong time. The thing is that maybe when you bought a book or selected a book you were not in a state to read that particular genre or that particular thing. It happens with everyone.
