Our view
Housel’s subject is less money than the people who handle it: how a narrow slice of personal experience shapes what each of us believes about the world, and why control over one’s time may be worth more than a bigger number. The book is not long and its ideas are easy to carry away; some readers end up underlining a great deal. It is about temperament, not formulas or investment tactics.
