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?

Loved it. Pages of notes. Will re-read

4 stars

Relatively new book from the library. I really liked this, and same writing style as his previous book Psychology of Money - almost 2 dozen chapters/topics, with a few true stories and quotes that support the topic. It's about 200 pages, and I read it in a few hours. It was hard to put down.

I ended up taking about 4 types pages of notes - which is a lot for my reading style. I will revisit this in a year or three and re-read. I liked it that much and I'm sure I'll pick up more ideas.
