Doing well with money isn't necessarily about what you know. It's about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. 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 and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life's most important topics.

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."

Od autora Psychologie peněz Kniha Jako vždycky vás vybaví schopností přemýšlet o rizicích a příležitostech, abyste si dokázali lépe poradit s nejistotou, kterou přináší budoucnost. Když plánujeme, rojí se nám v hlavě spousta otázek. Jak si povede ekonomika příští rok touto dobou? Co bude za deset let jinak než teď? Prognózování je ale složité. Důležité faktory, které budou utvářet budoucnost, jsou z podstaty věci nepředvídatelné. Namísto toho bychom si měli klást jinou otázku: Co v budoucnosti zůstane při starém? Povědomí o tom, co se nikdy nemění, je užitečnější a důležitější než pochybné predikce budoucnosti, která je obestřena nejistotou. V knize Jako vždycky vysvětluje úspěšný autor Morgan Housel v 23 krátkých kapitolách, že život, lidské chování i podnikání se řídí neměnnými zákonitostmi. Až budete v příštích letech pozorovat, jak se tytéž známé vzorce vynořují zase a znovu, přistihnete se, jak přikyvujete a říkáte si: „Jasně, jako vždycky.“ Vyzbrojeni těmito novými znalostmi a sebejistotou se můžete vydat na cestu k lepšímu životu.

Čo sa týka peňazí, to, aby ste boli úspešní, nie je nevyhnutne spojené s tým, čo viete. Je to skôr o tom, ako sa správate. A naučiť ľudí správať sa je naozaj náročné, dokonca aj pri veľmi inteligentných ľuďoch. To, čo vieme o peniazoch – investície, osobné financie a obchodné rozhodnutia – sa bežne učíme ako matematickú oblasť, kde nám dáta a vzorce presne povedia, čo máme robiť. Ale v skutočnom svete ľudia nerobia finančné rozhodnutia prostredníctvom tabuliek. Robia ich pri spoločnom stolovaní alebo v zasadačkách, kde sú ich osobné skúsenosti, vlastné jedinečné videnie sveta, ego, hrdosť, marketing a iné neobvyklé podnety zmiešané do jedného celku. V Psychológii peňazí sa s vami oceňovaný autor Morgan Housel podelí o 19 krátkych príbehov, v ktorých preskúma, ako ľudia rozmýšľajú o peniazoch, a naučí vás, ako lepšie pochopiť jeden z najdôležitejších faktorov ľudského života, akým peniaze bezpochyby sú.

Od autora knihy Psychológia peňazí...Kniha Tak ako vždy vás naučí efektívne premýšľať o rizikách a príležitostiach a pomôže vám orientovať sa v neistej budúcnosti. Pri jej plánovaní si často kladieme otázky: „Ako sa bude vyvíjať ekonomika o rok?“ Alebo chceme vedieť: „Ako sa zmení svet o desať rokov?“Predpovedať čokoľvek je veľmi ťažké. Prelomové udalosti, ktoré nakoniec budú formovať budúcnosť, sú vo svojej podstate nepredvídateľné. Namiesto toho by sme si mali klásť inú otázku: „Čo bude v budúcnosti rovnaké ako teraz?“ Poznatky o veciach, ktoré sa nikdy nezmenia, sú užitočnejšie a dôležitejšie ako neistá predpoveď o neznámej budúcnosti. V knihe Tak ako vždy sa autor bestsellerov Morgan Housel podelil o 24 krátkych príbehov, ktoré ilustrujú, v čom sa život, ľudské správanie a podnikanie nikdy nemenia. Keď uvidíte, ako sa známe témy v blízkom čase opäť opakujú, prikývnete a poviete si: „Áno, tak ako vždy.“Tieto nové poznatky a sebadôvera vám pomôžu na ceste k lepšiemu životu.

Dweck, 302 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná World-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck, in decades of research on achievement and success, has discovered a truly groundbreaking idea-the power of our mindset. Dweck explains why it's not just our abilities and talent that bring us success-but whether we approach them with a fixed or growth mindset. She makes clear why praising intelligence and ability doesn't foster self-esteem and lead to accomplishment, but may actually jeopardize success. With the right mindset, we can motivate our kids and help them to raise their grades, as well as reach our own goals-personal and professional. Dweck reveals what all great parents, teachers, CEOs, and athletes already know: how a simple idea about the brain can create a love of learning and a resilience that is the basis of great accomplishment in every area.

John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) is perhaps the foremost economic thinker of the twentieth century. On economic theory, he ranks with Adam Smith and Karl Marx; and his impact on how economics was practiced, from the Great Depression to the 1970s, was unmatched.The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money was first published in 1936. But its ideas had been forming for decades as a student at Cambridge, Keynes had written to a friend of his love for 'Free Trade and free thought'. Keynes's limpid style, concise prose, and vivid descriptions have helped to keep his ideas alive - as have the novelty and clarity, at times even the ambiguity, of his macroeconomic vision. He was troubled, above all, by high unemployment rates and large disparities in wealth and income. Only by curbing both, he thought, could individualism, `the most powerful instrument to better the future', be safeguarded. The twenty-first century may yet prove him right.In The Economic Consequences of the Peace (1919), Keynes elegantly and acutely exposes the folly of imposing austerity on a defeated and struggling nation.

It is symbolic that Adam Smith's masterpiece of economic analysis, The Wealth of Nations, was first published in 1776, the same year as the Declaration of Independence. In his book, Smith fervently extolled the simple yet enlightened notion that individuals are fully capable of setting and regulating prices for their own goods and services. He argued passionately in favor of free trade, yet stood up for the little guy. The Wealth of Nations provided the first--and still the most eloquent--integrated description of the workings of a market economy. The result of Smith's efforts is a witty, highly readable work of genius filled with prescient theories that form the basis of a thriving capitalist system. This unabridged edition offers the modern reader a fresh look at a timeless and seminal work that revolutionized the way governments and individuals view the creation and dispersion of wealth--and that continues to influence our economy right up to the present day.

Liam Byrne draws on conversations and debates with former prime ministers, presidents and policymakers around the world, together with experts at the OECD, World Bank and IMF, to argue that after twenty years of statistics and slogans it’s time for solutions that aren’t just radical but plausible and achievable as well.

Desiderata, that world-famous poem that begins, ''Go placidly amid the noise and haste'', must be one of the best-loved poems in the English language, revered by many as the ideal philosophy of life. Few people realise that it was written in 1927 by the Indiana poet Max Ehrmann who died in 1945 and whose work, until the 1960s, was largely forgotten.This beautiful little book brings together more of the writings of this remarkable man, revealing a love of the world and a concern for its social problems that mark him as one of the greatest spokesman of the twentieth century. Ehrmann was not afraid to express his thoughts about the evils and scandals he saw around him, and in his quest for contentment he turned to nature and the eternal passage of the seasons: his philosophical thoughts are a search for social truth and peace.Readers will find in his poems much that has relevance today. Through Ehrmann we are led to look again at our twenty-first century values and to turn for truth and reality to the essence of beauty and goodness that lies all around us, if we can but open our eyes to see.

An enriching collection of classical writings about how ancient Romans made—and thought about—moneyAncient Romans liked money. But how did they make a living and sometimes even become rich? The Roman economy was dominated by agriculture, but it was surprisingly modern in many ways: the Romans had companies with CEOs, shareholders, and detailed contracts regulated by meticulous laws; systems of banking and taxation; and a wide range of occupations, from merchant and doctor to architect and teacher. The Romans also enjoyed a relatively open society, where some could start from the bottom, work, invest, and grow rich.How to Make Money gathers a wide variety of ancient writings that show how Romans thought about, made, invested, spent, lost, and gave away money. The Roman elite idealized farming and service to the state but treated many other occupations with suspicion or contempt, from money lending to wage labor. But whatever their attitudes, pecunia made the Roman world go round.In the Satyricon, Trimalchio brags about his wealth. Seneca accumulated a fortune—but taught that money can’t buy happiness. Eumachia inherited a brick factory from her father, married well, and turned to philanthropy after she was widowed.How to Make Money also takes up some of the most troubling aspects of the Roman economy, slavery and prostitution, which the elite deemed unrespectable but often profited from. Featuring lively new translations, an illuminating introduction, and the original Latin and Greek texts on facing pages, How to Make Money offers a revealing look at the Roman worlds of work and money.

Tuwimovy básně se zdají být zdánlivě prosté a jednoduché, ale v každé z nich je skryta nejedna hluboká myšlenka. Přesně taková je i kongeniální hudba, kterou autorka básně opatřila. K nahrávání pozvala polskou zpěvačku Małgorzatu Hutek a česko-polskou sestavu vynikající hudebníků (Jaromír Honzák, Marcel Bárta, Robert Fischmann, Nikola Kołodziejczyk a Grzegorz Masłovski). Tracklist: 1. Czereśnie 05:45 2. Życie 05:23 3. Trawa 05:56 4. Życie moje 08:43 5. Moment 05:38 6. Szczęście 07:51 7. Ptak 04:41 8. Wszystko 14:19 9. Chrystusie… 06:04

THE MILLIONAIRE FASTLANE: NOW AN INTERNATIONAL BEST-SELLER!Is the financial plan of mediocrity -- a dream-stealing, soul-sucking dogma known as "The Slowlane" your plan for creating wealth? You know how it goes; it sounds a little something like this: "Go to school, get a good job, save 10% of your paycheck, buy a used car, cancel the movie channels, quit drinking expensive Starbucks lattes, save and penny-pinch your life away, trust your life-savings to the stock market, and one day, when you are oh, say, 65 years old, you can retire rich."The mainstream financial gurus have sold you blindly down the river to a great financial gamble: You've been hoodwinked to believe that wealth can be created by recklessly trusting in the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and the job market. This impotent financial gamble dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair -- sacrifice your adult life for a financial plan that reaps dividends in the twilight of life.Accept the Slowlane as your blueprint for wealth and your financial future will blow carelessly asunder on a sailboat of HOPE: HOPE you can find a job and keep it, HOPE the stock market doesn't tank, HOPE the economy rebounds, HOPE, HOPE, and HOPE. Do you really want HOPE to be the centerpiece for your family's financial plan?Drive the Slowlane road and you will find your life deteriorate into a miserable exhibition about what you cannot do, versus what you can. For those who don't want a lifetime subscription to mediocrity and a slight chance of elderly riches, there is an alternative; an expressway to extraordinary wealth that can burn a trail to financial independence faster than any road out there.

This book is the first answer to the the above question. It is also the first book to summarize three years of research on the psychology of architecture. Architects create our artificial environment. They should therefore know those for whom they create it. And they should also know themselves.

He is also a member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), founder of Applied Psychology of Architecture, founder and chairman of Czech Deco Team and co-founder (with Václav Havel and Bořek Šípek) and president of INSPIRELI AWARDS, the world’s largest student architectural competition.

Adam Smith (1723-1790) was one of the brightest stars of the eighteenth-century Scottish Enlightenment. An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations was his most important book. First published in London in March 1776, it had been eagerly anticipated by Smith's contemporaries and became an immediate bestseller.That edition sold out quickly and others followed. Today, Smith's Wealth of Nations rightfully claims a place in the Western intellectual canon. It is the first book of modern political economy, and still provides the foundation for the study of that discipline.But it is much more than that. Along with important discussions of economics and political theory, Smith mixed plain common sense with large measures of history, philosophy, psychology, sociology, and much else. Few texts remind us so clearly that the Enlightenment was very much a lived experience, a concern with improving the human condition in practical ways for real people.A masterpiece by any measure, Wealth of Nations remains a classic of world literature to be usefully enjoyed by readers today.
