Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

In this classic best seller, Florence Scovel Shinn helped to define the personal success genre. Written in the new thought tradition, her message is simple yet transformative - we receive back what we put into the world through our actions, energy, and attitudes. Negativity and pessimism are returned in kind, but by switching the script in favor of positive attitudes and affirmations, we are able to manifest success and joy in everything we do. Life, Shinn tells us, is not a battle of us against the world, but rather a game of giving and receiving.

Since you were old enough to hold a job, you've been hoodwinked to believe that wealth can be created by blindly trusting in the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and the job market. I call this soul-sucking, dream-stealing dogma "The Slowlane" - an impotent financial gamble that dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair. For those who don't want a lifetime subscription to "settle-for-less", there is an alternative.

Editorial reviews
A beloved scam artist if ever there was one, P. T. Barnum regales listeners with his savvy secrets. More than mere hucksterism, however, The Art of Money Getting is perhaps the most enduring self-help guide in the genre’s history, offering sage business advice that remains applicable over a century after its publication. Barnum dispenses practical tips for staying out of debt, choosing one’s career path, and avoiding unnecessary expenditures. Without resorting to carnival barking, performer Jim Roberts captures Barnum’s showmanly quirks, as he entertains listeners with old-world anecdotes and humorous cautionary tales. For all the theatrics and spectacle associated with Barnum, The Art of Money Getting remains a sound, sensible dictum for modern-day working people.
Publisher's summary
The "rules" are illustrated by homespun stories. While some of these of this may seem like common sense, it is the kind of common sense that Wall Street, the government and many ordinary people seem to have forgetten about in recent years. This is a small book but one that could have large consequences for your financial future.

First published in 1873, The Gilded Age is both a biting satire and a revealing portrait of post-Civil War America - an age of corruption when crooked land speculators, ruthless bankers, and dishonest politicians voraciously took advantage of the nation's peacetime optimism. With his characteristic wit and perception, Mark Twain and his collaborator, Charles Dudley Warner, attack the greed, lust, and naiveté of their own time in a work that endures as a valuable social document and one of America's most important satirical novels.

Story
His good friend Mark Twain dubbed him "St. Andrew." British Prime Minister William Gladstone called him an "example" for the wealthy. Such terms seldom apply to multimillionaires. But Andrew Carnegie was no run-of-the-mill steel magnate. At age 13 and full of dreams, he sailed from his native Dunfermline, Scotland, to America. Here, in one volume, are two impressive works by Andrew Carnegie himself: his autobiography and The Gospel of Wealth, a groundbreaking manifesto on the duty of the wealthy to give back to society all of their fortunes.

Benjamin Franklin was a Founding Father of America and had an enormous impact on America as it is today. In addition to that, there are many little-known facts about the man who is Benjamin Franklin. Unlike many of the other Founding Fathers, he started out in humble circumstances. From a young age, Benjamin Franklin fought for the rights of America at home and abroad. Yet, he bore the burdens of leadership and never shirked nor faltered in his mission. His greatest asset was his charm and friendliness, but he had his detractors as well and felt the emotional impact of that.

Noted transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau spent two years, two months, and two days chronicling his near-isolation in the small cabin he built in the woods near Walden Pond on land owned by his mentor, the father of Transcendentalism, Ralph Waldo Emerson. Immersing himself in nature and solitude, Thoreau sought to develop a greater understanding of society amidst a life of self-reliance and simplicity. Originally published in 1854, Walden remains one of the most celebrated works in American literature.

The murder of brutal landowner Fyodor Karamazov changes the lives of his sons irrevocably: Mitya, the sensualist, whose bitter rivalry with his father immediately places him under suspicion for parricide; Ivan, the intellectual, driven to breakdown; the spiritual Alyosha, who tries to heal the family's rifts; and the shadowy figure of their bastard half-brother, Smerdyakov. Dostoyevsky's dark masterwork evokes a world where the lines between innocence and corruption, good and evil, blur and everyone's faith in humanity is tested.

This book was written in the 1880's but its information is still relevant today. No its not a get rich quick book. But it is an hour and a half of classic financial wisdom. At a cost of $0.95 I recommend it to anyone.

Amazing!
Would you listen to The Art of Money Getting again? Why?
Yes! I have listened to it fives times already. It is a great book on life lessons.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Art of Money Getting?
The very first thing he brought up was that the man who earns 20 pounds per year and spends 20 pounds and 6 pence is miserable while the man who earns 20 pounds and spends but 19 pounds and 6 pence is among the happiest of men.
Have you listened to any of Jim Roberts’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No
What did you learn from The Art of Money Getting that you would use in your daily life?
Spend less than you earn, don't borrow money for food or clothes, don't have dealings with an unlucky man. Tony Romo is a nice fellow but he is unlucky and the Cowboys need to let him move on.
Any additional comments?
This book needs to be listened to by every young man and woman setting out into the world. It should be taught in high school.

Classic advice from the Past for the Present!
THE ART OF MONEY GETTING is an excellent work of P.T. Barnum that teaches Timeless wisdom on making money and money management but teaches this wisdom with language that is "Biblical" (Archaic) in sound. Therefore I recommend the commentary book of this work taught by Dr. Larry Iverson for the Modern listener. But sometimes, nothing beats "The Source"!

Sound Principles For All Levels
It’s not what you make, it’s what you keep.
Most fail to realize this. I have also experienced this. Went from making half as much and ended up keeping more. Using techniques discussed in the book.
The rich get richer from utilizing methodologies in this book. It’s a must that you do these things!
Great book. Thank you for amazing literature.

Most ALL the good sense my father never told me
The title and cover art are somewhat misleading. This is the sound wisdom and common sense of a smart and effective and fulfilled person, wrapped in quintessentially American packaging and values. It is not rocket science, but myself, being raised to be one of the low level ticket-holders in Barnum's audiences, i.e., an impulsive consumer with poor self-regulation, it took me decades of squandered life and stumbling down blind alleys to puzzle out what is so plainly set forth right here. This little manual has been essentially plagiarized in countless iterations as self-help books, and one could save an awful lot of trouble by going straight here and giving it a good listening-to. Money is simply one superficial symbol for living a fulfilling and wholesome life, and Barnum understood this deeply and well. He extols the virtues of eating simple fruit and drinking water, and notices the fools rushing past these things for unhealthy and wasteful pursuits (for example, tobacco consumption and addiction). The person who simply sees the surface of this misses so much. At this laughably low price, a young person internalizing these lessons would get a lifelong multiple thousand percent return on the investment.
