This little book contains a library’s worth of wisdom. – DEREK THOMPSON, The AtlanticThis book is both profoundly thoughtful, almost impossible to put down, and really important. Housel explains how so much of what determines our fate is random, seemingly hanging from a thread - and yet, there are also universal truths that have stayed consistent over centuries. What Housel shows is how to find them. – BETHANY MCLEAN, Bestselling coauthor of The Smartest Guys in the Room and All the Devils are HereLife-changing insights from a fantastic story teller. – RYAN HOLIDAY, Bestselling author of The Obstacle is the Way and The Daily DadA must read for anyone who wants to turn history’s hindsight into their current foresight. – SHANE PARRISH, Founder of Farnam Street and author of Clear ThinkingConcepts that, the sooner you get them, the sooner you’ll start living a richer and more rewarding life. – SCOTT GALLOWAY, Professor of Marketing at NYU Stern and bestselling author of Adrift
