Matt Inman
This book instead of telling you how to spend money, it digs into why we spend the way we do, and most of the time the answer has nothing to do with the math. The chapters on attention-seeking, contentment, and the gap between rich and wealthy are the kind of stuff you'll find yourself quoting at dinner. Housel writes in clean, story-driven prose that goes down easy without ever feeling thin. Worth the read for anyone who has ever bought something and wondered, an hour later, who they were actually trying to impress.
