    Morgan is a GEM for our times. I think a big part of what makes him special is that he has zero ego and no agenda. And of course he is also super smart, well read, analytical, down to earth, a great communicator and seemingly very approachable. The Psychology of Money is one of my favorite books of all time.
  • @AndrewTJohn
    Morgan is one of the clearest & thoughtful thinkers of our generation. Loved this episode!
  • @kyleinpa5285
    I’ve listened to Dave Ramsey for almost 20 years. He’s great. But there is no one who’s views on money/investing I agree with more than Morgan Housel
  • “Social debt”! Brilliant! So true in disadvantaged communities we feel pressured to lift everyone when we make it.
  • @TotalSoccerPro.
    Morgan is full of knowledge! Wow, makes you think about something you would never thought thinking about.
  • @joelloo9448
    Wonderful interview. Thanks Tim and Morgan for sharing openly your thoughts and ideas.
  • @teamvigod
    All of Morgan's success is well earned and deserved. Highly recommend his books, podcast and Collaboritive fund blog. It's all priceless but I'd be way more than he is charging for all of it (the blog is free as is the podcast!).
  • @alanpinnt
    Huge fan of Morgan Housel. This is awesome to see him on here!
  • @kabztwala4923
    I've been invested in the idea of living life in a counter-intuitive way and I'm glad Morgan's contrary approach to life (as bleak as one might attribute it to be) is being reverberated. Thanks for going deep Tim.
  • @DavidRussellM
    I listened to your episode with Jack, which inspired me to meditate again, your episode with Mate and Roll helped me workout some child trauma, your episode with Apollo has turned me into an aspiring magician, Attia got me to sign up to a gym, Sam Harris is a shining light of morality, and now Morgan which has a ton of takeaways, but the main one for me is to be grateful. Sorry for those I missed, literally every episode is gold. Thanks for what you do Tim, you are a legend!
  • @ThaidUp
    What a great conversation 2 hours flew by with myself wanting for more
  • @HawkMcDork
    loved "Same as Ever", so many awesome quotes and ways of thinking about things
  • @rishibaldeo5479
    Fantastic episode, So much insights. I had to stop and replay selected portions several times to make notes. I feel smarter when I'm finished😇
  • @freedomlife3623
    Morgan, I bought both format of your “Phycology of Money”, finished them both & revisited them every once awhile. Still find gems every time. Thanks so much for the great content. You also have a great voice for reading & podcast, enjoyed your both productions.
  • @INvestME2011
    Really phenomenal conversation I had to listen twice. First time for entertainment, second time as a student.
  • @Historyteacheraz
    Morgan always has great insight! A Teenager’s Guide on how to Invest Like Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger teaches the key investment principles of Buffett and Munger.
  • @XANXUS451
    Finally got around to watch tim’s video man its been too long Its like being revisited by an old friend i forgot i have all tao of seneca audiobooks and i still need to listen Haven’t listen to tim’s podcast in month today i change that it feels like being in space for many years and you missed the Earth the very first thing you do is kiss the floor Miss the content
  • @cng2009
    Tim's point about how hope is so much more valuable than people give it credit for, especially for someone struggling, and most humans do struggle in some way, and how buying a lottery ticket to give you something to look forward to and strive for and be excited about is very true. I have found this to be true for myself, and as I look back at things I have done, including getting excited about saving and investing for the possible wealth and escape velocity it could generate for me and my family over time, this really helped me to push forward through hard and dark times. Still working on it, getting wiser and seeing things more broadly than I used to, and grateful for the journey and the nuggets of hope along the way :)
