Housel argues that predicting the future may be futile, but understanding timeless aspects of human behaviour-such as responses to greed, fear, opportunity, and risk-can provide invaluable insights. Morgan Housel has written this book based upon ideas that he has previously discussed in his blog over at Collab Fund. The central theme revolves around the constancy of certain human behaviours amidst an ever-changing world. Same as Ever comprises 23 chapters, each akin to standalone insights-think of them as a series of thought-provoking blog posts or newsletters. Renowned for his influential work, including the well-received Psychology of Money, Housel is a thought leader in understanding the intricacies of human behaviour, particularly in the realm of personal finance. Before delving into the book, it's worth noting that Housel is not a newcomer to the scene.
In this era of digital overload, where screens dominate our lives, Housel's book invites readers to slow down and contemplate enduring truths. In a world where time is a luxury, attention spans are fleeting, and reading habits are in decline, Morgan Housel's Same as Ever emerges as a beacon for those struggling with shorter attention spans.
