Hello, and welcome back to Author Insider!
I’m excited to share my conversation with Morgan Housel, bestselling author of The Psychology of Money, which has sold over 7 million copies, and the instant New York Times bestseller Same as Ever: A Guide to What Never Changes. Before we dive into a comprehensive analysis of Morgan’s journey as a writer and publishing phenomenon, here’s the essence of what makes his story so remarkable: a finance major who initially “looked down at writers,” Morgan inadvertently stumbled into a writing career that would lead to millions of books sold worldwide — all by focusing on clear, concise explanations of financial psychology through storytelling.
In today’s interview, you’ll hear directly from Morgan about the critical insights and practices that shaped his unusual writing career. He offers valuable lessons on cultivating an authentic voice, turning rejection into opportunity, and skillfully adapting your content to meet your audience’s evolving preferences. You’ll also get Morgan’s perspective on why quality writing naturally drives word-of-mouth success, along with practical tips for staying creatively energized and adaptable in your own work.
Ready? Let’s dive in.
