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.

Publisher's Summary
Dr. Peter Downey knows babies and fatherhood, and his best-selling book - now in this 25th anniversary edition - helps first time dads prepare for what’s coming their way...with a grain of salt and a smile on their face. Fully revised and updated, and packed with useful information and wry humour, he explores the joys and trials of new parenting, including:
- Navigating pregnancy and childbirth
- Dealing with nappies, travel cots and sleep deprivation
- Avoiding topics that will ruin a dinner party
- Living with a baby in your home
- Getting the gear you need (and skipping the stuff you don’t)
- Surviving the latest apps, tech and the online parenting world
- Coping with sex (or the lack thereof)
- And most importantly, how to be the best damned dad you can be
New to this edition is a foreword by Mark Scott, an updated glossary of handy words new dads need to know (and some they don’t), a new and improved list of films to watch (and those to avoid), as well as updated "then" and "now" words of wisdom from other ordinary Aussie fathers. So You’re Going To Be a Dad remains Australia’s most engaging, reassuring, and down-to-earth book for new dads.

A very enjoyable experience
The way he explained things was just great, with very serious topics emphasized and where he could, he would lighten the mood.
I am thankful that I was able to listen to this as it has taught me a few things I didn't know (or even think of) and will definitely use.

A perfect read for first time dads
My wife and I are expecting our first soon, she came to me one day and told me to listen to this and prepare. I'm not uneducated when it comes to the world but listening to this has given me a couple of new things to think about. The term nipple butter previously would have been a source of joy or excitement but now it comes with a wince. This has also guided me on how to be a good support partner and that sometimes even a small thing like cleaning the kitchen could mean the world to a sleep deprived wife.

Don’t feel so alone after listening to this! Great listen!
I’m really not sure if this book is just what I needed right now, or whether it relates to all dads-to-be, but damn!
All the topics I need to know about, spliced with real talk & a bit of humour, some of which you really have to be listening to pick up on.
Such a great book, I spoke to my partner for at least an hour about it & that was only half way through!
Highly recommend, so many tips & short deep dives into a lot of stuff we need to know/look in to as expecting dads & well put together. Wouldn’t be surprised if I listened to the whole thing again.
