Morgan Housel - Same As Ever: Timeless lessons on risk, opportunity and living a good life.
Manage episode 473860410 series 3269526
Every investment plan under the sun is, at best, an informed speculation of what may happen in the future, based on a systematic extrapolation from the known past.
Same as Ever reverses the process, inviting us to identify the many things that never, ever change.
Morgan Housel wrote this to be a master class on optimizing risk, seizing opportunity, and living your best life. But does he achieve it?
We break down the best ideas and mental models he shares and how they could be applied in your life.
