If someone had told me that my first finished and so far favourite book of 2023 would be about finances and money, and it would not be boring at all, I would have scoffed at them for not knowing me! I am creative, and I’ve often been heard in discussions proudly proclaiming myself as financially illiterate. Can’t go into the details of my ignorance in a public blog post, but I really am.

As the book’s author Morgan Housel says, health and money are the two things that impact everybody, whether they are interested in them or not. This book went a step ahead; it got me interested in the health of my finances. Morgan uses jargon-free storytelling to convey the most essential aspects of personal finance and approach towards making sense of money matters.

The Psychology of Money is not a how-to guide; Morgan doesn’t share investment tips and tricks but instead provides a sensible thought structure to change your outlook towards money. It may not be a book for experienced investors and those who are experts at managing their wealth, but then, it may be, so universal are the ideas it describes.

My suggestion? Go grab a copy right now. If a person totally uninterested in his financial health can finish it in two days, you know you have something good at hand.
