About this ebook
'Life-changing insights from a fantastic storyteller' – Ryan Holiday, bestselling author of The Obstacle is the Way
The New York Times and Sunday Times bestseller, from the author of the multi-million copy selling The Psychology of Money.
As featured on the Dr Chatterjee podcast Feel Better, Live More and the Diary of a CEO podcast with Steven Bartlett.
When planning for the future, we often ask something like, 'What will the economy be doing this time next year?' Or we want to know, 'What will be different ten years from now?'
But forecasting is hard and the important events that will shape the future are inherently unpredictable. In Same As Ever, Morgan Housel argues that knowledge of the things that never change is more useful for us and proposes that we should instead be asking a different question: What will be the same in the future as it is now?
Housel shares 24 short stories about the ways that life, behaviour, and business will always be the same. As you see familiar themes repeat again and again in the years ahead, you’ll find yourself nodding and saying, 'Yep, same as ever.'
Engaging, thoughtful, and deeply insightful, Same As Ever will arm you with a powerful new ability to think about risk and opportunity, and navigate the uncertainty of the future.
With this new knowledge and confidence, you will be on the path to living a good life.

It's an insight into what we've known to be true but don't pay much attention and focus to. I enjoy reading it. I think your life experience would determine how you'd take what you read from this book and whether you're going to apply it in your life or not.
