πTHE PSYCHOLOGY OF MONEYπ
by Morgan Housel
---------------------------------------------------------
β‘οΈ "It's one of the best and most original finance books in years." -- Jason Zweig
-------------------------------------------------
πAbout:
Doing well with money isn't necessarily about what you know. It's about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people.
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.
In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life's most important topics.

πTHE PARADOX OF DEMOCRACYπ

β4.7/5β on Amazon

β‘οΈ A thought-provoking history of communications that challenges ideas about freedom of speech and democracy.
-------------------------------------------------
πAbout:
The Paradox of Democracy captures the deep connection between communication and political culture, from the ancient art of rhetoric and the revolutionary role of newspapers to liberal broadcast media and the toxic misinformation of the digital public sphere. With clear-eyed analysis, Gershberg and Illing show that our contemporary debates over media, populism, and cancel culture are not too different from the democratic cultural experiences of the past. As we grapple with a fast-changing, hyper-digital world, they prove democracy is always perched precipitously on a razorβs edge, now as ever before.
