Morgan Housel: The Psychology of Money (2020, Harriman House) 4 stars

Doing well with money isn't necessarily about what you know.

It's about how you behave. …

Life changing

5 stars

I'm pretty sure this is one of the most important books I've ever read. The kind of book that should result in most of my other five star ratings loosing one of their stars, that kind of important. Perhaps I was finally at a place in my life where I was ready to accept the wisdom and teachings contained within the pages.

Has characters talk about plot twists, then use the exact mechanism a few pages later. Only the 3 stars though, couldn't decide if it was 4 or not, as I'm not sure about the big reveal near the end. Still easy to read, highly enjoyable, and utterly bonkers though.
