📓 Morgan Housel's new book - The Art of Spending

In partnership with

Morgan Housel has a question for you:

If you were alone on a deserted island.. where nobody could see your possessions.. what would you actually want?

A Lamborghini? Or a practical truck?

A mansion? Or a comfortable shelter with a view?

This simple thought experiment reveals an uncomfortable truth about why we spend money. And it's not what you think.

Housel, whose book The Psychology of Money has sold 10+ million copies, just shared insights that completely flip conventional wisdom about wealth and happiness.
