Bβπ»βAβB reviewed The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel
Doing well with money isn't necessarily about what you know.
It's about how you behave. β¦
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. Regardless, if you have a troubled relationship with money and you can handle for a few harsh realities about your preconceptions and inbuilt biases, this is the book for you.
I genuinely think reading this has fundamentally changed the way I look at money.

Not my usual
5 stars
I'm not generally one for the colonialist war type Sci-Fi, but I really enjoyed this. Easy to read and to drop into, with enough, ah that's novel, type futurism. Will be buying the next one to read what happens next.

Wasn't expecting that level of twist
3 stars
Another bonkers outing from Michael Marshall Smith, with the usual levels of utter WTF is going on...? Talking, seemingly sentient, AI white goods is a new one on me. 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.

Easy to get into, easy to read, thoroughly enjoyable, but still thought provoking. Another winner.
