If You Only Had Money for 1 Book
Imagine this scenario: you have five books spread out in front of you and the shopkeeper and the customers behind you are all asking you to hurry up, but you can’t decide which one book would be best fit in return for the only $4 you have with yourself right now.
But, wait, why would you even spend the only money you have not on a McDonald’s family pack but instead on a book?
You can’t even eat a book, unless you…you know…anyway.
The thing is, you won’t eat this book, you’ll devour it.
In 24 chapters, punched with unheard of lines of wisdom, Housel presents you with interesting concepts in a story-like manner, to acquaint you with the idea of what never changes in a changing world.
This is a book of the future. I believe that.
It’s like a guide to the future, to find yourself grounded in reality and the truth which will come to be, when everyone else would be living a daydream-like, fairytale-kind-of-filtered version of the factual world.
A Note About the Book
It’s no use forecasting the future. We never know what might come true, unexpectedly and what might never even happen—as much as it had been predicted with surety.
The only question that is worth asking, according to Morgan Housel, would be this: what will be the same ten years from now? What will be the same a hundred years from now? What’s that thing, that fact, that mindset, that rule that never changes, always remains the same—same as ever.
This knowledge is the most useful knowledge that you might need, because with the advent of the world in different fields—medicine, tech, research, even warfare—human beings have started to become—and there’s no better way to say it—outdated. Obsolete like the exact technology we dismissed upon the arrival of newer and fancier tools to play with.
Our knowledge, our skills, our old tried and always tested rules that have gotten us here until now, have presently gotten too useless to be thriving anymore.
Unless we update our knowledge according to the ever-changing environment, we’re just going to end up turning into someone whose job was lost because a machine took its place. AI has the power, that’s the sad, bitter truth because AI was built by very imaginative, competitive, smart and tough-nuts-to-crack individuals themselves.
The truth is, we have a power stronger than AI. It’s different for all of us. Are we willing to utilize it?
This is Not to Terrify You.
Not at all.
This is to make you aware of your own strengths. AI can’t replace you, not until you show in the workplace a distinct quality that no one has but you, and yes, it does exist, regardless of what society or you yourself convinced you against.
The strength. The advantage. It’s just time for you to recognize it now.
And harness it.

Why I love Morgan Housel books?
The way he writes non-fiction makes it fun to read. He tells stories in between, keeps you hooked, gives you lessons that you might not have heard before but had probably needed all along.
The stuff I got to learn from his book was so fascinating that it actually came to be one of those non fiction books that I found myself actually finishing—and devouring—from the start to the finish.
