About this listen

When planning for the future we often ask, “What will the economy be doing this time next year?” Or, “What will be different ten years from now?”

But forecasting is hard. The important events that will shape the future are inherently unpredictable.

Instead, we should be asking a different question:

What will be the same ten years from now?

What will be the same one hundred years from now?

Knowledge of the things that never change is more useful, and more important, than an uncertain prediction of an unknowable future.

In Same As Ever, bestselling author Morgan Housel shares 24 short stories about the ways that life, behaviour, and business will always be the same.

Armed with this knowledge of the unchanging, you will have a powerful new ability to think about risk, opportunity, and how to navigate the uncertainty of the future.

As you see familiar themes repeat again and again in the years ahead, you’ll find yourself nodding and saying, “Yep, same as ever.”

Nothing in particular. He lost me at some spots but overall great. A book to listen again and again that I will do as well as The Phycology of Money. Best book ever written.

Q: What thing, that actually matters, have YOU changed your mind on, in the past 5 years?

Look up from your screen, wake up, step off the hedonic treadmill, and dare to see what happens.

Excellent follow up to Psychology of Money. This broad ranging set of stories and questions hit home harder than the other top seller, ‘Sapiens’ that it references

Couldn’t put this one down

Incredible summary of how the world operates

Enjoyed reading this so much. Recommend it. Reading this is a reminder that so much of life is actually out of our control and that’s actually comforting. Helps you relax and just enjoy life the best you can. Kind of a reminder to not take life too seriously.

Excellent

A great and informative book on things that never change. It’s well written and well researched. I loved all the insights and they were not the obvious things you expect. Well worth the 5 hour listen. I know I’ll keep coming back to it. It’s taught me a lot.

Important book
