Twenty easily digestible subtopics that explore the way we think about and treat money, and how that does, or does not, support the way we say we want to live our lives. And maybe with a little better understanding, we really can shift our thinking and our behavior just a little, and bring those two things into alignment. While not revealing anything earth shattering, I do think this book offers some helpful perspectives to this end.

Although it's solidly focused on American history and events that shaped money/investing in the West, there are still plenty of deeply insightful and logical lessons for anyone who's ever felt befuddled by financial matters. Wish I'd had these lessons a few years ago!
