The art of spending money : simple choices for a richer life / Morgan Housel.
"Can money buy happiness? Yes. Can spending it make you happier? Absolutely. Yet, many of us struggle to unlock its full potential--either by spending on things that don't bring as much joy as they should or by avoiding investments that would truly enhance our mental well-being. In The Art of Spending Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel offers a refreshingly practical approach to managing wealth while finding deeper meaning and contentment. Instead of cookie-cutter financial advice, Housel provides you with psychological tools to navigate your personal relationship between money and optimizing for happiness. Discover why people often mistake envy for admiration, how to align your expectations with your income, and ways to invest in future happiness while avoiding regret. Learn about the dangers of social debt and embrace the radical idea that the fastest way to build wealth is by going slow. The Art of Spending Money delves into the complexities that surround money--envy, social aspirations, identity, and insecurity--crucial aspects often missed in traditional financial books. Armed with new insights into money and wealth, you'll learn to sidestep common spending traps, make smarter investing choices, and wield money to its fullest potential to enhance your enjoyment of life"-- Provided by publisher.
