This One Book Will Make You Rich — If You Read It Twice
I read it once and learned about money. I read it twice and completely changed my life.
I’ve read 47+ personal finance books.
Some were okay. A few were actually good.
But only one rewired my entire relationship with money.
Not by teaching me how to pick stocks.
Not by showing me some secret investment strategy.
Not by giving me a budget spreadsheet.
By making me realize that getting rich has almost nothing to do with being smart about money.
It has everything to do with not being an idiot about behavior.
That book is The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel.
And here’s why reading it twice isn’t just a suggestion — it’s the actual strategy that makes it work.
Why I Read It The First Time
I picked it up because everyone kept recommending it. Over 10 million copies sold. Every finance person I follow mentioned it. It felt impossible to ignore.
The first read was good. I nodded along. Highlighted some quotes.
