Morgan Housel, the author of the book Psychology of Money, recorded a podcast with one of my favorite shows, Rule Breaker Investing, talking about his 5 best quotes. As a fan of both Morgan Housel and David Gardner (co-founder of The Motley Fool and host of Rule Breaker Investing ), this post will bring these 5 quotes to you.

For those who follow this blog, you know that I already talked about Rule Breaker Investing in the article 6 principles of a Rule Breaker portfolio (Innovative and disruptive) and in the 6 tips on how to invest according to Rule Breaker Investing and I also follow almost all The Motley podcasts Fool.

A bit about Morgan Housel: He is the writer of Psychology of Money: Timeless Lessons in Fortune, Greed, and Happiness, one of the best-selling finance and investment books. He also worked for The Motley podcasts Fool and today he writes on the Collaborative Fund’s blog.

His articles like his book, are always very thoughtful and I always learn something from reading them.

Given the initial context, let’s talk about Morgan Housel’s 5 best quotes. If you want to hear the podcast where Morgan spoke the phrases, you can check it here
