Why do we pay more for a meal if we see a higher price anchor first? Why are we happy to spend $4 on coffee while obsessing over an extra $0.50 fee? Renowned behavioral economist Dan Ariely teams with Jeff Kreisler to explore the subconscious emotional biases that sabotage our financial decisions.
Morgan Housel
Doing well with money isn’t necessarily about what you know. It’s about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. Morgan Housel shares nineteen short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important topics.
Richard H. Thaler, Cass R. Sunstein
Every day we make choices—about what to buy or eat, about financial investments, our health, and our children’s education. Unfortunately, we often make poor choices. Thaler and Sunstein show that by understanding how people think, we can design choice environments that make it easier for people to choose what is best for themselves.

"Beating the College Debt Trap presents students with a better way to do college. The radically counter-cultural truth is that students don't have to be totally dependent on Mom, Dad, or Uncle Sam to get the most out of college. Graduation on a solid financial foundation is possible. But it will require intentionality, creativity, hard work, and a willingness to delay gratification.Chediak gets into the nitty-gritty of how to pay less for college, get meaningful workduring college (while setting yourself up for success after college), , pay off any loans quickly, spend less, save more, and stay out of debt for good. He also unpacks how to transition from college into career, honor God while achieving financial independence, and use your finances to make a positive, eternally-significant difference in the lives of others.As a young engineering professor with an aptitude for finances and money management, Chediak has become particularly concerned with the financial health of students, especially in light of the ever increasing costs of college. In Beating the College Debt Trap he helps do something about this problem. He engages, in a friendly manner, the "real world" financial issues that 17-25 year olds face, with clarity, practical help, lots of illustrations, and a little humor, while conveying a distinctly Christian perspective"--
