Jumia Books Same as Ever: A Guide to What Never Changes   Morgan Housel (Author)

"Same as Ever: A Guide to What Never Changes" by Morgan Housel is a thoughtful exploration of timeless truths about human nature, society, and behavior amid a rapidly changing world. The book presents 23 concise stories that highlight constants in human desires, motivations, and patterns—such as the influence of expectations on happiness, the importance of risk management, and the persistence of human flaws like greed and ambition. Housel argues that while predicting the future is highly uncertain, understanding what never changes in human behavior and societal dynamics can help people make wiser financial and life decisions. The book encourages focusing on these enduring truths rather than fleeting trends, providing readers with a grounded perspective to better navigate uncertainty and thrive.

Key lessons include the role of expectations in happiness, the necessity of adapting while recognizing timeless principles, and the value of history and human behavior as guides to future outcomes. This work complements Housel’s earlier success, "The Psychology of Money," by further unraveling constants that shape our lives.
