Doing well with money isn’t necessarily about what you know. It’s about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people.
Money―investing, personal finance, and business decisions―is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together.
In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important topics.
The ultimate human rights activist, Mahatma Gandhi has been
an inspiration to millions of people across the world through his actions and
words. A great thinker and activist who espoused peaceful civil disobedience

writings cover topics such as nonviolence, truth, prejudice, sex,
vegetarianism, simplicity, religion, fasting, work, education and Gandhi’s own
life. His story of struggle, self-sacrifice and courage remains inspiring
today- he exemplifies the power of simple, unselfish goodness and shows how,
translated onto the world stage, this can be a tremendous force for positive
change.
‘I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any
other fellow-mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough in me to confess
my errors and to retrace my steps. I own that I have an immovable faith in God
and His goodness, and inconsumable passion for truth and love. But, is that not
what every person has latent in him?’
