Things you didn't know you knew about money
No one is crazy, from their own perspective, about managing money. Why then, there are just 2668 billionaires among 8 billion persons across the world? The book by Housel confronts the reader with their innate relationship with money, which, at times, may not be very intuitive.

Tails lead to miracles... but they are miraculously rare
It is not the usual set of outcomes, but those 0.01% of miracles that might make or break you. Your success, both financially and otherwise, depends on how you seize these opportunities.

Getting wealthy v/s Staying wealthy
Getting wealthy requires you to be bold and risk-taker, while staying wealthy is a long-term approach to getting 1% better each day, and accepting with humility that whatever you've made can vanish in an instant. It's pure survival.

CURATOR'S NOTE
Most of us believe that we are either good or bad with managing money. We look at our bank balances as a measure of our financial prudence. But, here comes a book, that tries to explain why we do what we do, and how the time value of money is not fancy buzzwords like NPV, but is more literal.
