History consists of unpredictable events, but human behavior remains a constant through time. Morgan Housel argues that internalizing these behavioral patterns is more effective than attempting to forecast future market shifts or technological disruptions. He details twenty-three observations about the permanent traits of the human experience, such as the persistence of greed and fear, the tendency for stories to outweigh statistics, and the inevitable return to the mean. By examining how people responded to past crises, Housel demonstrates that while the world changes, the ways people process risk and make decisions do not.
