the book
A day doesn’t go by without money coming in to our interactions. But how much do we really understand it? We know we need money. We tend to want more of it. But why do we behave so strangely with it? And why does it have such a hold on us?
Award-winning BBC Radio 4 presenter Claudia Hammond delves into the surprising psychology of money to show us that our relationship with the stuff is more complex than we might think. Exploring the latest research in psychology, neuroscience and behavioural economics, she also reveals some simple and effective tricks that will help you think, use and save money better – from how being grumpy can stop you getting ripped off to why you should opt for the more expensive pain relief and why you should never offer to pay your friends for favours.
An eye-opening and entertaining investigation into the power money holds over us, Mind Over Money will change the way you view the cash in your wallet and the figures in your bank account forever.
Interesting and insightful . . . Hammond marshals a battery of psychological experiments to show us how to spend (and save) more wisely
An approachable and very practical field guide
Entertaining, evidence-based advice on how to maintain a healthy relationship with cash, rather than letting it rule your life
A delightful treatment of a subject many of us would prefer to ignore, gently subversive in its undermining of preconceptions and prejudices
