This B&N Exclusive Edition features a special cover design and includes a bonus chapter from the author. In this new chapter Morgan Housel looks at how success with your finances requires a diverse understanding of the world to cope with the fact that nothing ever stays the same for long.

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.
