Morgan Housel, a renowned financial expert and partner at The Collaborative Fund, doesn’t just talk numbers—he reveals why your brain is the real driver of financial success. The Psychology of Money isn’t just a book; it’s a masterclass in understanding the irrational, emotional forces that shape every dollar decision you make. With over 4 million copies sold, here’s why it’s a #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller and a staple on Bill Gates’ shelf:
