In 1984, Jack Loeffler produced a radio series entitled "Southwest Sound Collage." His primary listener was his great friend author Edward Abbey who said, "Loeffler, this radio series should be a book." Thus, "Headed Upstream" first appeared in 1989 shortly after Abbey's death. The challenging interviews that appear herein (Edward Abbey, Andrew Weil, John Nichols, Stewart Udall, and Gary Snyder, to name a few) reflect many points of view from anarchist to Marxist, from environmental to philosophical, from Beat to historical. Each is highly individual and all reflect deep consideration for the myriad factors that have shaped our milieu. In 2009, Loeffler's close friend Gary Snyder said, "This book should be re-published. It's important." Indeed, it is an important presentation of human consciousness at its best. Jack Loeffler and his wife Katherine live near Santa Fe, New Mexico. He is a writer, aural historian, radio producer, sound collage artist, and lecturer. He has worked extensively with indigenous and traditional cultures throughout the American West, Mexico and beyond. His books include "La Musica de los Viejitos: The Hispano Folk Music of the R o Grande del Norte"; "Adventures with Ed: A Portrait of Abbey"; "Survival Along the Continental Divide: An Anthology of Interviews"; and "Healing the West: Voices of Culture and Habitat." He has produced over three hundred documentary programs for public radio, co-produced or otherwise collaborated on documentary films, written scores of articles, and produced sound collages for many institutions including the Smithsonian Institution, the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Camino Real International Heritage Center, and the New Mexico History Museum at the Palace of the Governors. He is a project director for The Lore of the Land, Inc., a 501c3 organization founded by his late friend Lee (Mrs. Stewart) Udall. He was awarded a 2008 New Mexico Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts, the Edgar Lee Hewett Award for Outstanding Service to the Public by the New Mexico Historical Society, and in 2009 was honored as a Santa Fe Living Treasure.Binding Type: Paperback

fascinating
Format: Kindle
This book the psychology of money is one of the most fascinating books I’ve ever read. I didn’t understand a lot of it because I am definitely not an investor and I know nothing about the stock Market. Morgan Housel is an excellent author and I highly recommend this book.

The best personal finance book I’ve ever read.
Format: Hardcover
Most finance books focus on the mechanics—budgets, tax strategies, portfolio construction, and the endless parade of acronyms and formulas. Those things matter, of course. But they miss the real issue.
Money problems are rarely mechanical. They’re behavioral.
That’s where The Psychology of Money stands apart. Housel goes straight to the heart of the matter: how people think about money, how emotions shape financial decisions, and why intelligent people still make poor choices with their finances.
The book doesn’t lecture you with formulas. It speaks to you. It speaks to your brain—the quiet assumptions you carry about wealth, success, security, and risk. It forces you to confront the uncomfortable reality that managing money well is far more about temperament than intelligence.
One chapter that especially stood out to me is “The Seduction of Pessimism.” Housel explains why pessimism often sounds smarter than optimism. Doom and gloom feel analytical and sophisticated, while optimism can sound naive. But over long stretches of time—especially in markets and economic progress—optimism tends to be far closer to reality.
It’s a beautifully written chapter and an important reminder for anyone who spends time around financial news or market commentary.
What makes this book exceptional is its clarity and humanity. Housel understands that money isn’t just math—it’s tied to ego, fear, status, insecurity, and hope. And until you understand those forces, no spreadsheet or strategy will save you.
If you read only one book about money, make it this one.

Great book
Format: Paperback
"The Psychology of Money" by Morgan Housel is a thought-provoking book that explores the complex relationship between money, greed, and happiness. Housel challenges conventional notions about wealth, arguing that it's not just about smart decisions, but also about behavior and psychology ¹.
The book is divided into 20 short chapters, each tackling a different aspect of money psychology. Housel uses engaging storytelling and real-life examples to illustrate his points, making the book an enjoyable read.
One of the key takeaways from the book is the importance of understanding your own values and priorities when it comes to money. Housel argues that money is a reflection of our values, and that our financial decisions should align with what's truly important to us ².
The book also delves into the power of compounding, highlighting the benefits of long-term thinking and patient investing. Housel emphasizes that getting wealthy slowly is often a more sustainable and reliable approach than seeking overnight success ².
Other notable themes in the book include the role of luck in financial outcomes, the dangers of complexity in financial decision-making, and the impact of stories and narratives on our financial behaviors ².
Overall, "The Psychology of Money" is a insightful and accessible book that offers valuable lessons for anyone looking to improve their relationship with money. As one reviewer noted, "This book is the book I wish I had read when I was young" ¹.

Simple yet effective

This book is incredibly effective. I enjoyed how everything was easy to understand and how it uses simple terms. Learning that money is about our behavior changed my perspective. I would recommend this book to anyone who is 16+ and interested in getting a head start on how to be smart with money!
