#80 | Lessons from history on things that never change | Same as Ever - Ep. 4

February 11
16 mins

Episode Description

In this episode, we continue our deep dive into Morgan Housel’s Same As Ever. Instead of trying to guess what the stock market will do next week, we focus on the human behaviors that have remained unchanged for the last 500 years. We explore five timeless themes that explain why staying on top is often much harder than getting there.

We also cover themes like:

  1. The Fragility of Perfection
  2. The Price of Admission
  3. The Red Queen Hypothesis
  4. The Toy Trap
  5. The Grass is Greener (on Bullshit)

We are looking for the behaviors that never change. Because those are the only things we can truly bank on.
