A fascinating exploration of the complex relationship between money and human behavior. Housel's insights will change the way you think about wealth and financial decision-making.

How it shaped my work

Housel's line that doing well with money has little to do with how smart you are stayed with me. The behaviour matters more than the spreadsheet. That framing shaped Let's Talk Finance: I try to explain what companies and markets are doing with plain numbers, not to predict prices.

The chapter on "enough" changed something more personal. In tech it is easy to keep raising the bar on salary, tools and hardware. Deciding what enough looks like, and saving the rest, gave me room to take on projects for their own sake, like building graphpg in the open.
