It is very rare to find a book you like, written in a style you like, published in a way you like. Morgan Houselโs The Psychology of Money is one of those rare books.
Itโs not only a validation of my own approach to money โ stay out of debt, live below your means, save as much as you can, take a long view, let compounding do its magic over time โ itโs also written in opposition to the โone long slow idea book.โ
In a conversation with Ryan Holiday, Housel said the book was rejected everywhere and that his agent had to fire herself because she couldnโt sell it. He said he went with Harriman House because they were the only publisher that would take it. (Iโd never even heard of them.) Theyโre doing the free download with purchase of a physical copy thing that record companies have been doing for years, but publishers still resist. Itโs now sold over two million copies!
