Books Same as Ever by Morgan Housel (Author)

"Same as Ever: A Guide to What Never Changes" by Morgan Housel explores timeless truths about human nature, society, and the world, emphasizing what remains constant amid change. Through 23 concise stories, Housel discusses themes such as human desires for certainty, the nature of risk, the spread of ideas, progress with setbacks, and the factors driving innovation and growth.

Key insights include the idea that happiness depends largely on the gap between expectations and reality, and that human nature—hopes, fears, and behaviors—has remained fundamentally unchanged over time, despite technological advances. Housel encourages readers to better anticipate future challenges by learning from the persistent patterns of the past, promoting a balanced view of risk, adaptability, and opportunity.
