'Essential reading' – Mark Manson, bestselling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck
The instant Sunday Times #1 bestseller and New York Times bestseller, from the author of The Psychology of Money.
Simple lessons on harnessing the power of money to live a happier life.
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 and global bestselling 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 with money and optimise 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.
Morgan Housel is a partner at The Collaborative Fund and a former columnist at The Motley Fool and The Wall Street Journal. He is the bestselling author of The Psychology of Money, Same As Ever, and The Art of Spending Money.
