From the international bestselling author of The Psychology of Money, with 8 million copies sold worldwide - lessons on harnessing the power of money to live a happier life.

Can money buy happiness? Yes. Can spending it make you happier? Absolutely. Yet, many of us struggle to unlock its full potential - either by spending on things that don't bring as much joy as they should, or by avoiding investments that would truly enhance our mental well-being.

In The Art of Spending Money, award-winning and global bestselling author Morgan Housel offers a refreshingly practical approach to managing wealth while finding deeper meaning and contentment.

Instead of one-size-fits-all financial advice, he unpacks the hidden psychology behind our choices - why we confuse envy with admiration, how expectations shape our satisfaction, and why slow, deliberate wealth-building often leads to the best results.

More than just a book about money, The Art of Spending Money explores the emotions, biases, and social forces that drive our financial decisions. With sharp insights and practical takeaways, Housel helps you avoid common spending pitfalls, make smarter financial choices, and use money with intention - to not just build wealth, but to actually enjoy it.
