Same as Ever

Same as Ever by bestselling author Morgan Housel is a compelling exploration into the constants that define human behaviour, life, and business. Rather than attempting to predict the unpredictable events of the future, Housel posits that understanding what will remain unchanged is far more valuable. Planning for the future often involves questions like, "What will the economy be doing this time next year?" or "What will be different ten years from now?" However, forecasting is notoriously difficult, as the significant events that shape our future are inherently unpredictable. Instead, Housel suggests we shift our perspective to questions such as, "What will be the same ten years from now?" and "What will be the same one hundred years from now?" In Same as Ever, Housel shares 24 short stories that illuminate the ironclad aspects of life, behaviour, and business. With this knowledge, readers will gain a powerful new ability to think about risk, opportunity, and how to navigate the uncertainties of the future. As familiar themes and patterns emerge over time, readers will find themselves acknowledging the constants of life, saying, "Yep, same as ever." This book does not merely offer insights; it delivers timeless wisdom through memorable and engaging storytelling. Housel has a unique talent for selecting the perfect, unforgettable story to drive home invaluable lessons about money, life, storytelling, ambition, and satisfaction. Each story is carefully crafted to underscore the enduring truths that have stayed consistent over centuries. Praise for the book:
