Finance ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
The Psychology of Money
Morgan Housel · 2020
🎙 Narrated by Chris Hill
74/100
👍 Worth It
Housel's central insight — that psychology matters more than technique in personal finance — is genuinely useful and well-evidenced through true stories about compounding, greed, and luck. The weakness is honesty: multiple chapters cycle back to the same core idea, and the book is shorter in substance than its runtime suggests. Chris Hill's calm, conversational narration gives even the counterintuitive arguments room to breathe and earns frequent praise as a standout performance.
