《金錢心理學》並非教你如何用數學公式致富，而是帶你深入理解「為何人們會這樣用錢」。作者摩根・豪澤以19篇精煉短文，揭示我們對金錢的直覺、恐懼、慾望與決策背後的心理機制。真正的財務智慧，不在於知識有多深，而是能否控制情緒與行為。在這本廣受好評的暢銷書中，你會發現投資與理財不是數學題，而是人性課。這本書適合所有想更好理解金錢與自己關係的讀者，幫你在混亂與不確定中，做出更聰明、更穩健的財務選擇。Doing well with money isn’t necessarily about what you know. It’s about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people.Money—investing, personal finance, and business decisions—is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together.In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important topics.

本書介紹 Marie Tharp──第一位描繪出地球海底中央海嶺全貌的女性科學家。自小喜歡觀察世界、熱愛解謎的她，不願受限於時代對女性的期待。二十世紀中期，女性在科學領域並不受歡迎，海上研究更被視為「不適合女性」。Marie 因此無法登船，只能留在實驗室處理同事帶回的資料。然而，她並未因此退縮，而是逐點分析、逐張描繪，慢慢看見海底深處一條巨大裂谷的形狀。儘管科學界一開始對她的發現存疑，但她的資料與推論無懈可擊，最終證實自己觀察正確。這條海底山脈——世界上最大的地理構造——就從她狹小的辦公桌上被完整繪出。溫和呈現女性科學家的堅持與勇氣以易懂方式介紹海底地形與研究歷程適合作為科學啟蒙與女性人物傳記Meet Marie Tharp (1920-2006), the first person to map the Earth’s underwater mountain ridge, in this inspiring picture book biography from the author of Shark Lady.From a young age, Marie Tharp loved watching the world. She loved solving problems. And she loved pushing the limits of what girls and women were expected to do and be. In the mid-twentieth century, women were not welcome in the sciences, but Marie was tenacious. She got a job in a laboratory at Cambridge University, New York. But then she faced another barrior: women were not allowed on the research ships (they were considered bad luck on boats). So instead, Marie stayed back and dove deep into the data her colleagues recorded. S
