"We all want the complicated world we live in to make sense. So we tell ourselves stories to fill in the gaps of what are effectively blind spots.”
I listened to The Psychology of Money on a long road trip recently. Besides being an interesting read with practical examples and advice about wealth and investing The Psychology of Money offers a look at why and how our experience and reactions determine the stories we choose to make up to explain things we don't understand.
“wise old owl lived in an oak,
The more he saw the less he spoke,
The less he spoke, the more he heard,
Why aren’t we all like that wise old bird?”
The more he saw the less he spoke,
The less he spoke, the more he heard,
Why aren’t we all like that wise old bird?”
Morgan Housel, The Psychology of Money
