1. The Psychology of Money, Made Practical
   Morgan Housel’s core claim is that doing well with money is mostly about behavior, not intelligence: ordinary people who control their emotions can outperform experts who don’t. The ideas (enough, room for error, the power of patience) are framings drawn from behavioral economics and financial history rather than a single controlled study — useful as mindset, not as advice.
2. Treat money as a behavior problem, not a knowledge problem
   How you behave under stress beats how much finance you know.
