**OVER 7 MILLION COPIES SOLD AROUND THE WORLD... The Psychology of Money is the original bestselling classic from the author of the new book, Same as Ever.**
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 different ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life's most important topics.
What are the secrets to a healthy, happy, and wealthy retirement?
To answer that question, longtime Morningstar columnist and podcaster Christine Benz asked 20 retirement thought leaders to go deep on a single lesson that they believe contributes to success in retirement. These lessons range from nitty gritty financial matters to quality-of-life considerations that help pre-retirees and retirees maximize their time on earth allocations. On the financial side of the ledger, the book delves into knowing your retirement income style (Wade Pfau), understanding how your spending might change in retirement (David Blanchett), and organizing your portfolio to support in-retirement cash flows (William Bernstein). Other interviews probe softer but no less important considerations, such as how to spend in order to optimize happiness (Ramit Sethi), the value of burnishing relationships later in life (Laura Carstensen), and living life so that you have no regrets in the end (Jordan Grumet). These lessons help soon-to-retire and already-retired individuals and their advisors tackle retirement with confidence, wisdom, and a specific plan for maximizing their financial and human capital.

For decades, thousands of people have gathered in Omaha, Nebraska for the Berkshire Hathaway AGM, and quizzed Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger on everything from the psychology of successful investors to the future of Coca-Cola and Apple. But unless you attended, for decades you only had access to what people remembered and reported back from Omaha.
In 2018, Berkshire released the archives of the annual meetings going back to 1994. Alex Morris―an equities analyst and financial writer at the TSOH Investment Research Service―watched hundreds of hours of video from these annual meetings (as well as the six AGMs held since 2018), covering more than 1,700 questions asked by shareholders over the past 31 years. He then gathered, organized and edited the most interesting material into a comprehensive and accessible form. Buffett and Munger Unscripted is the result. From the art of intelligent capital allocation to the best ways to judge and compensate management, from understanding the nature of markets to embracing the power of long-term time horizons, this is a book with compelling insights on every page. In addition to collecting many famous quotes in their original context, it is a deep treasure trove of profound insights on all aspects of investing and business. Discover the importance of avoiding difficult decisions, the first question you should ask on a potential new investment, how to recover from unsuccessful investments, the importance of finding the right owners to partner with, Buffett and Munger's book recommendations--and much more. The perfect companion to The Essays of Warren Buffett: Lessons for Corporate America and Poor Charlie's Almanack, Buffett and Munger Unscripted belongs on the bookshelf of everyone interested in the keys to success in business and investing. Note: Alex will donate 50% of his net proceeds from Unscripted to GLIDE, a charitable organization that Warren Buffett has supported for years. While his philanthropic endeavors are not the focus of this book, that is another part of Warren's life where he has been a role model.

Former CNN/CNN International Anchor and Business Correspondent Alison Kosik ―recognized around the globe as the face of Wall Street for the network ― found herself trapped in a failing marriage. The savvy mother of two, was terrified to leave her husband. Why? She didn't have the confidence to take on big financial decisions on her own. Despite spending her working hours explaining financial and business concepts, she had allowed her husband to take charge of all their big money decisions ― from buying a house and how to finance it to their investments and retirement savings ― and had no clue how to do any of it on her own.
It sounds crazy, doesn't it? But Alison is far from atypical. It turns out plenty of educated and high-achieving women ― married or single ― avoid getting involved with managing their financial lives. In What's Up With Women and Money? Alison gives a step-by-step action plan on a variety of money topics. Alison also interviews dozens of women who share their cautionary tales of why avoiding money decisions can lead to bad outcomes. Alison also talks one on one with inspirational women like Sheryl Sandberg, Rebecca Minkoff, Jessica Alba, Barbara Corcoran, and Deepica Mutyala ― women who inspire other women and help them gain confidence ― to take control of their financial lives. Alison simplifies complicated financial topics of investing, car buying and paying down debt, breaking them down into easy to follow steps, with practical tidbits that make each page accessible, digestible and fun. By the end of What's Up With Women and Money?, women will not only feel empowered and confident about their finances, but they will also feel ready to take action after being motivated without judgment.
