What do women want? Well you might think that you need to be rich, tall, or handsome...but no, it’s not your haircut, height, knowledge, or your bank balance. Women simply want a man who will bring passion, excitement, and strength into their everyday lives. They want someone who does interesting things, is independent and takes care of themselves well. Attracting the right partner is all about being extremely comfortable with oneself and living the lifestyle he desires.

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.

insightful and clear advice on dating
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I recommend this book highly. I think it provides clear, realistic advice. Empowering advice. As you go throught it, the author provides the biblical basis for the advice. As a Christian I value this. I don't think, though, that it will get in the way of any non Christian enjoying, understanding and benefitting from the advice (speaking as someone who was a non Christian for a large part of my life).

A must read for anyone that's in dating mode...
...simple to follow instructions to getting into a better dating situation. He gives a great picture and diagnosis of why many people don't have success with dating, and a few good strategies for developing the skill.
I did not give it five stars because:
- it seems like most of the book is written for women. Men need help too, and in many cases more than women
- the advice given to men is a bit simplistic. Go out and talk to more women. Really? It really is that simple bit the mental blocks need to be addressed before action takes place.

This book was so necessary for me at this time. Dr. Cloud held no punches, he was raw and to the point.
I felt called out SEVERAL times! But again it was so necessary. I’m going do some inner thought work and I’m to follow the program. Thank you for writing this. I really felt the Holy Spirit speaking answering questions I’ve had for a while!
