Mitchell Owens's Reviews > Same as Ever: A Guide to What Never Changes

Enjoyable read, but nothing new or exceptionally insightful was shared. Housel essentially compiled a summary of the ideas original to Nassim Taleb (Anti-Fragile and Skin in the Game) Matt Ridley (The Rational Optimist, How Innovation Works, The Red Queen, etc), Ray Dalio (Principles), Robert Greene (The Laws of Human Nature) and others. You’ll get more out of reading those original works.

Obviously, Morgan Housel is a skilled writer and artful story teller, so most curious people will find this book entertaining. However, it doesn’t come close to “The Psychology of Money” or the works he endlessly paraphrases in each chapter.
