Morgan Housel is a bestselling author, partner at Collaborative
Fund, and Board member of Markel. Morgan’s work focuses on the
intersection of human behavior and financial decision making. His
first book, The Psychology of Money, has sold 10 million copies
since releasing five years ago and is already one of the
best-selling investment books of all time. His second, Same as
Ever, explores human behaviors that never change, and is rapidly
approaching 1 million copies sold.
Our conversation discusses Morgan’s latest work, The Art of
Spending Money: Simple Choices for a Richer Life. I wanted to get
him back on the show to share his thoughts on a subject that
affects us all. But I wasn’t expecting to have my mind turning on
how Morgan’s insights about envy, aspiration, and contentment also
apply to the assessment of money managers and corporate
executives.
His recently released book is another tour de force, and I suspect,
once again, will soon hit the best seller list.
