Why do smart people make bad financial decisions? Why do people who understand investing still panic during market crashes, overspend to impress others, or sabotage long-term wealth for short-term comfort?
The Behaviour of Money explores a simple but often ignored truth: financial success has far less to do with intelligence, formulas, or market predictions-and far more to do with human behavior.
Through real stories, timeless examples, and clear reasoning, this book reveals how emotions, personal experiences, social pressure, and psychological biases quietly shape every money decision we make. It shows why knowing what to do with money is easy, but doing it consistently over decades is extraordinarily difficult.
Rather than offering complex strategies or promises of quick wealth, The Behaviour of Money focuses on the behaviors that actually determine outcomes. It explains why survival matters more than brilliance, why compounding only works when it is left alone, why visible wealth is often the opposite of real wealth, and why saving without a specific purpose can provide more freedom than saving for carefully planned goals.
This book reframes wealth not as a number to maximize or a lifestyle to display, but as a tool for building freedom, flexibility, and peace of mind. It challenges readers to rethink success, redefine "enough," and design financial systems that work even when fear, envy, uncertainty, and temptation inevitably appear.
Written for ordinary people-not professional investors-The Behaviour of Money is a guide to making better financial decisions by understanding yourself. It is not about being perfect with money. It is about being realistic, patient, and consistent in a world that constantly encourages the opposite.
If you want to build wealth that lasts, reduce financial stress, and use money to support a life you actually want, this book will change how you think about money forever
