    I have the hardback which is 203 pages, not including credits and footnotes. The book has 24 chapters that are unnumbered, so the chapters are fairly short. The book is well-written and an easy read. Much of what never changes is human nature. The wisdom arose from my personal examination of how each of these chapters applied to me.
    The author starts with a personal story about snow skiing with two friends one morning and then deciding not to ski with them that afternoon. His friends were killed in a snow slide that afternoon. If he had said yes to more skiing he would have almost certainly died with them. Why did he decide not to ski? He has no idea.
    He takes this event and begins to look at risk. Risk is what you don't see. The book then looks at happiness since much of risk is unpredictable. Keeping expectations low leads to more happiness in the author's opinion. He makes a good case.
    The book moves from one topic to the next. It looks at the power of compounding interest and compounding decisions. Good decisions lead to good outcomes. It looks at incentives. Much human behavior can be forecast by knowing the incentives that the human actors are subject to. Sometimes it's "follow the money" and sometimes it's just "fitting in." In my experience, understanding the financial incentives goes a long way to predicting the actions of the people I'm dealing with.
    The author ends with what I increasingly think is the most important observation - people are a product of their experienced environment. People will disagree, and they will, in many cases because their life experiences differ. What seems obvious to one is not to another because they haven't had the same life experiences. He notes that "Wounds heal, Scars last."
    The book finishes with a series of questions that the reader can ask rather than a series of the author's conclusions. I'm trying to ask these questions of myself to better understand how to read "what never changes" so I don't get blindsided.
    If the subject interests you, I highly recommend the book. It gives short bursts of wisdom that I intend to try to apply to my life.

  • Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2023
    As a business consultant focused on strategic planning, I see the world as predictable and foreseeable within the right time horizon. The reason I read this book is that 8 am always looking to learn from others experiences and interested in gaining another perspective. This book clearly failed to deliver that desired outcome. The author uses anecdotal comments based on extreme events and insights to support many of his statements. This is his quote near the end of the book which pretty well sums the books design. “A decade ago I made a goal to read more history and fewer forecasts. It was one of the most enlightening changes of my life. And the irony is that the more history I read, the more comfortable I became with the future. When you focus on what never changes, you stop trying to predict uncertain events and spend more time understanding timeless behavior. Hopefully this book nudged you down that path.”
    It’s not a terrible book and there are many insights that are worth being reminded of but some of the insights are not accurate but supported by extreme events. Yes, it happened but the likelihood of it occurring is around 1%.
    If you are interested in a light, Robert Greene like book with little actionable knowledge, heavy on psychology and light on business acumen; this book could be for you. If you are looking for how to anticipate the future, look elsewhere first.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Genial como sempre
    Reviewed in Brazil on December 17, 2023
    Morgan Housel é um dos melhores "story tellers" de nossa geração.

    Neste livro ele nos traz observações menos óbvias e mais sutis sobre o comportamento humano.

    Um ótimo conhecimento para ser aplicado ao "pensar sobre a vida" que vai muito além dos investimentos.

    Succinct, well written, enjoyable. Morgan takes examples from our history and breaks down human behaviour. It’s the same as it’s always been. This is one of those books where every chapter can be read independently and you’ll still come out with a new mental teamwork. Thanks for the book Morgan! It’s awesome. I’ll read it again in 2024.

    5.0 out of 5 stars **Same as Ever: Timeless Lessons on Risk, Opportunity, and Living a Good Life** by *Morgan Housel*
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 8, 2025
    **Same as Ever: Timeless Lessons on Risk, Opportunity, and Living a Good Life** by *Morgan Housel* is a brilliant and thought-provoking exploration of the fundamental patterns that shape our lives, economies, and decision-making. Known for his bestselling book *The Psychology of Money*, Housel once again delivers an insightful and engaging read, blending economics, history, and human behavior into timeless wisdom.

    What makes this book exceptional is its ability to distill complex ideas into simple, relatable lessons. Housel masterfully explains how uncertainty, risk, and opportunity have remained constant throughout history, showing readers how to navigate an ever-changing world by understanding the things that never change. His writing is clear, concise, and filled with compelling anecdotes that make the book both practical and enjoyable.

    Whether you're an investor, entrepreneur, or simply someone looking for a better understanding of life’s big-picture dynamics, *Same as Ever* is an essential read. It offers invaluable lessons on resilience, decision-making, and adaptability, making it a book that stays with you long after you turn the last page.

    5.0 out of 5 stars MORGAN HOUSEL is "SAME AS EVER"
    Reviewed in India on October 14, 2024
    "Same As Ever" by Morgan Housel is a fascinating exploration of human behavior, timeless patterns, and how our reactions shape the world more than the events themselves. Housel brilliantly highlights how history, society, and financial markets operate under a cycle of repetitive behavior. The book dives into examples from economics, psychology, and personal finance, showing how the more things change, the more they remain the same.

    Housel's writing is clear and engaging, making complex ideas accessible. His ability to draw parallels between past and present events offers readers a new perspective on current challenges. It’s a book that doesn’t just focus on economics but is also about understanding life patterns and human nature. I especially loved how the anecdotes and historical references tied everything together.

    If you're someone who enjoys looking at the broader picture, understanding the repetitive nature of human decisions, and learning how to navigate an ever-evolving yet somehow constant world, this book is for you.

    Highly recommend for anyone interested in behavioral economics, finance, or just understanding the world through a different lens!
