This episode digs into one of my favorite books of all time: The Big Change by Frederick Lewis Allen. Written in 1952, it's a remarkable look at how quickly the world can change, with so many profound insights that I find relevant today. Special thanks to my friends at Readwise.io/morgan for making this happen.
There's a Russian saying that I love: "The past is more unpredictable than the future."

Some of the most interesting stuff I've come across lately.
In some fields our knowledge is seamlessly passed down across generations. In others, it’s fleeting. To paraphrase investor Jim Grant: Knowledge in some fields is cumulative. In other fields it’s cyclical (at best).
Jeff Bezos once said there are different kinds of smart. Distinguishing the various flavors is important because if you think smarts comes in just one form, you’ll miss dozens of other nuanced varieties.BS is the same. It comes in countless forms, some harder to spot than others. False modesty, projecting, double standards, hypocrisy, tugging at heartstrings – these aren’t lies; they’re subtle forms of BS which is why they’re so prevalent.
A few important money and life topics to make you ponder.
"Nature is not in a hurry, yet everything is accomplished,” said Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu.Giant sequoias, advanced organisms, towering mountains – it builds the most jaw-dropping features of the universe. And it does so silently, where growth is almost never visible right now but staggering over long periods of time.It’s quiet compounding, and it’s a wonder to see.I like the idea of quietly compounding your money. Just like in nature, it’s where you’ll find the most impressive results.
My deepest forecasting belief is that you can better understand the future if you focus on the behaviors that never change instead of the events that might.And those behaviors have a common denominator: They follow the path of least resistance of people trying to simplify a complex world into a few stories that make sense and make them feel good about themselves.Simple stories, feel-good stories. Those are some of history’s most seductive beliefs, and they always will be.Here are a few that s...
The most productive work you can do often looks like the laziest -- but it can be hard to accept that because of how the workplace has changed over the last 100 years.
Every great idea can be taken too far. Take the notion that investors should ignore the short run.It's important to recognize that the long run is just a collection of short runs, and capturing long-term growth means managing the short run effectively enough to ensure you can stick around for a long time.
I wrote letters to both of my kids the day before they were born. Here's what I wanted them to know about money. And even if you don't have, or want, kids, I think you'll find this helpful.
Hacks are hard because shortcuts rarely exist. Prizes take time and effort.The personal finance industry – filled with advice that sounds and feels good without moving the needle – needs to recognize this.These aren’t fun hacks, but no one said this was easy.
Luck plays such a big role in the world. But few people want to talk about it. If I say you got lucky, I look jealous. If I tell myself that I got lucky, I feel diminished.Maybe a better way to frame luck is by asking: what isn’t repeatable?And maybe better yet: The way to get luckier is to find what’s repeatable.
The fun part of behavioral finance is learning about how flawed other people can be. The hard part is trying to figure out how flawed you are, and what stories make sense to you but would seem crazy to others.
A few of the best and most insightful things I've read lately.
Woodrow Wilson was the only president with a Ph.D. in political science.He came to office having thought more about how a government functions than most before him or since.One of his complaints was that too many people in government held the belief that it was a Big Machine: that once you set up a series of rules you could take your hands off the wheel and let the government run on its own forever. They viewed government like physics, with a set of customs and laws that required no updating ...

"there is no equivalent to pearl harbor or nine eleven for good news" I think that's a pretty damn good reason to be pesimist😉
Love the podcast Morgan! Thank you for sharing!
Set in a bustling university environment, https://collegebrawls.online/ players take on the role of characters thrust into thrilling new adventures, far from the typical peaceful campus life.
I just listened to "The Morgan Housel Podcast" and I must say, it was an incredibly insightful and thought-provoking episode. Morgan Housel has a unique ability to break down complex financial concepts and behavioral economics in a way that's not only understandable but also engaging. The anecdotes and real-life examples he shares really drive home the key points he's making. https://muckrack.com/wax-paperie One thing that stood out to me was his discussion on the psychology of investing. It's fascinating how our emotions and biases can often lead us astray, even when we think we're making rational decisions. Learning about these psychological pitfalls is crucial for anyone looking to navigate the world of finance. https://linktr.ee/delipaper.us

+1 for the audio book. Like podcasts I can listen to them when driving, walking, working, doing mundane tasks. Don't have much down time for reading. I would average 5-6 audio book to 1 actual book.
