Meet Morgan Housel, Author of The Psychology of Money

Morgan Housel is the bestselling author of The Psychology of Money, which has sold over 10 million copies worldwide, and one of today's most influential voices on wealth, behavior, and long-term thinking.

He began his career in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, writing about behavioral finance, history, and the economy for The Motley Fool, with frequent contributions to The Wall Street Journal. Covering a collapse that none of the models had predicted led him to an uncomfortable conclusion: finance is one of the only fields where an amateur with the right temperament can outperform a professional with the right credentials.

That conclusion became the foundation of his work. In The Psychology of Money, followed by Same as Ever and The Art of Spending Money, Morgan reframes money as a behavioral problem rather than a mathematical one, exploring how patience, ego, and expectations shape financial outcomes far more than spreadsheets ever will.
