SYNOPSIS
Morgan Housel's The Psychology of Money (2020) addresses personal-finance via the viewpoint of human psychology. Many personal finance books concentrate on external concerns, such as how the stock market works, how to choose stocks or create a portfolio, timing the market, and so on. Housel's research focuses on the interaction between people and money, emphasizing the human factor. "You don't need to study interest rates to understand why people go into debt; you need to study the history of greed, insecurity, and optimism."
Housel believes that conduct takes precedence over other factors in the quest for financial success. "It has less to do with how brilliant you are and more to do with how you act regarding money." You're more likely to succeed if you engage in the proper habits. Similarly, no amount of wit, expertise or insider knowledge can rescue you from engaging in the wrong set of behaviors.
Each of the book's first 18 chapters delves into a certain human behavior or attitude toward money (the final two chapters serve as a review of the lessons as well as a commentary on Housel's personal financial habits). Certain habits lead to excellent outcomes, while others almost always lead to failure. The opening chapter, "No One's Crazy," for example, explores the boundaries of our understanding in relation to the limits of our own experiences. Consider that we are all dreadfully inexperienced in the larger scheme of things. "Your own financial experiences account for maybe 0.0000000001% of what happens in the world, but they account for maybe 80% of how you think the world works." To put it another way, there's a significant disconnect between direct experience and how we use those restricted insights to make sense of the world. Our experiences shape our opinions, yet the foundations of those opinions are shaky, imperfect, and riddled with blind spots.
Consider the views of two persons born in separate decades, one in the 1950s and the other in the 1970s, when it comes to the stock market. The first person would have observed the poor stock market returns in the 1960s and 1970s as a teen and young adult (low single-digit returns in the decade aggregate). The second person would have witnessed double-digit returns in both the 1980s and 1990s as adolescents and young adults. The latter is more likely to have an optimistic view toward stocks as an adult. After two decades of negative returns, the former is likely to be wary of the stock market. The takeaway: personal experience has a significant impact on your decision-making process (nor can you discount the unique set of circumstances that influence the decisions made by others).
These kinds of teachings abound throughout Housel's book. Some teachings warn us about particular actions, while others urge us to adopt healthy habits. The beauty of these teachings is that they are open to everyone; they are not limited to high-income earners or those with advanced degrees. This book will not provide you with an in-depth understanding of investing instruments, asset allocation, or tax-advantaged techniques; it will enhance your money connection and attitude toward personal finance. Housel promises us that achieving financial success is not difficult; all it takes is discipline, patience, and a few positive behaviors.
