The New Psychology of Money

Adrian Furnham Β· 2014
70/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

Adrian Furnham's decades of research give this behavioral-economics survey real credibility, and the four-domain structure gives readers a broad map of how psychology shapes financial behavior. It is more foundation than deep dive on any single topic, and some sections feel light on evidence, but for an adult reader who wants a serious, readable overview this is a solid choice.
