A few stand out passages from the first few chapters of "The Psychology of Money" + a few thoughts of my own.
---
"Your personal experiences with money make up maybe 0.00000001% of what's happened in the world, but maybe 80% of how you think the world works."
"Every decision people make with money is justified by taking the information they have at the moment and plugging it into their unique mental model of how the world works."
"There is not decades of accumulated experience to even attempt to learn from. We're winging it."
"You are one person in a game with seven billion other people and infinite moving parts."
"Nothing is as good or as bad as it seems."
