Book description
This B&N Exclusive Edition features an alternate cover and an exclusive Q&A with the author.From Morgan Housel, author of The Psychology of Money, timeless lessons about what never changes in a changing world.If you traveled in time to 500 years in the past or to 500 years in the future, you would be astounded at how much technology and medicine have changed. The geopolitical order would make no sense. The language and dialect may be completely foreign. But you’d notice universal principles guiding behavior—people falling for greed and fear, short-sighted by overconfidence, and persuaded by risk and jealousy, just like they do today. When transported to this unfamiliar world, you’d spend a few minutes watching people behave and say, “Ah. I’ve seen this before.” In Same As Ever, Morgan Housel offers readers a world historical tour of the behaviors that have played a decisive role in history’s big moments, from the invention of the first nuclear weapons to the founding of Amazon, from T.E. Lawrence to Jack Welch. These stories on risk, opportunity, and living a good life teach us the timeless lessons worth paying attention to so we can separate the signal from the noise and optimize our decision-making. History is filled with surprises no one could have seen coming. But if we learn to see what doesn’t change, we can be more confident in our choices, no matter what the future brings.

Pocket Muzzie
This app's user-friendly interface has made reading on-the-go a breeze. This app has made me realize that I don't need a lot of time to read. Sharing audiobooks through AirDrop is a fun and convenient way to share the magic of storytelling with friends and family, sparking meaningful discussions. This audiobook performed its function without excelling. The narrator's delivery was straightforward and easy to follow, though lacking in dramatic flair. The recording quality was decent with only occasional minor inconsistencies in volume. An acceptable but forgettable listening experience. An unobjectionable but unexceptional audiobook experience. The narrator's performance was serviceable and the audio quality was fine, but nothing about the production particularly stood out or elevated the material. It was decent background listening.
