Minimal wear to cover. Pages clean and binding tight. shelf wear. bumped edges. Paperback. From Morgan Housel, bestselling author of The Psychology of Money , stories about what people have always done, and will always do Everyone wants to see the future. Few are good at it. From business to economics, politics to social trends, we're just not very good at predicting what happens next. According to Morgan Housel, this is because we focus too much on what we think will change and not enough on what we know will stay the same. If you traveled in time to 500 years ago or 500 years from now, you would be astounded at how much technology and medicine has changed. The geopolitical order would make no sense to you. The language and dialect may be completely foreign. But you'd notice people falling for greed and fear just like they do in our current world. You'd see people persuaded by risk, jealousy, and tribal affiliations in ways that are familiar to you. You'd see overconfidence and short-sightedness that reminds you of people's behavior today. You'd find people seeking the secret to a happy life and trying to find certainty when none exists in ways that are so relatable. When transported to an unfamiliar world, you'd spend a few minutes watching people behave and say, "Ah. I've seen this before. Same as ever." History is filled with surprises no one could have seen coming. But if we learn to see what doesn't change, we can be more confident in our choices, no matter what the future brings.…

The New York Times and Sunday Times Bestseller. As featured on the Dr Chatterjee podcast Feel Better, Live More and the Diary of a CEO podcast with Steven Bartlett. From the author of the multi-million copy selling The Psychology of Money…
Same As Ever will arm you with a powerful new ability to think about risk and opportunity, and navigate the uncertainty of the future. When planning for the future, we often ask something like, “What will the economy be doing this time next year?” Or we want to know, “What will be different ten years from now?”
But forecasting is hard. The important events that will shape the future are inherently unpredictable.
Instead, we should be asking a different question: What will be the same in the future as it is now?
Knowledge of the things that never change is more useful, and more important, than an uncertain prediction of an unknowable future.
In Same As Ever, bestselling author Morgan Housel shares 24 short stories about the ways that life, behaviour, and business will always be the same.
As you see familiar themes repeat again and again in the years ahead, you’ll find yourself nodding and saying, “Yep, same as ever.”
With this new knowledge and confidence, you will be on the path to living a good life.
