The Art of Spending Money by Morgan Housel

Making more money does not necessarily increase your happiness.

The book is “The Art of Spending Money: Simple Choices for a Richer Life” by Morgan Housel. I thank NetGalley for the chance to read an ARC before publication. The book will be published October 07 2025.

This book is not about making money or investing it; there are plenty of personal finance books that talk about that. It is more about how to spend to maximize your happiness and that does differ greatly among people.

It also discusses how non-financial decisions impact happiness. And encourages the reader to try many things to see what works for them. The goal is to help readers learn how to make their money work for them instead of working for money.

Highly recommended.
