What drives our behaviour and attitude to money All too often we ignore logic and make decisions around money that we know aren t entirely rational. That s because money isn t just about nances it s deeply tied up with our emotions, our learned behaviours and our biases.In the first of the new chapters, the author explores why knowing your money bias (whether you are spender, risk-taker or investor) is not enough. How do you flick the switch and take action if you need to control this biasIn the second bonus chapter, readers learn why having gratitude for what you have will improve your relationship with money.This updated edition is certain to find a whole new readership in the current challenging economic environment.Evan Lucas is the regular money commentator on ABC News Breakfast and on ABC Radio news.

A popular personal finance podcast guest, Evan is also a leading economist and Chief Market Strategist at InvestSMART. His love of markets goes back to sitting with his grandfather as a child and mulling over his investment portfolios. What he learnt from his early experiences is that investing habits, strategies and behaviours do not translate across families, generations or peers. This led him to become fascinated with behavioural finance throughout a career that has taken him to the Netherlands, the UK and back to Australia over a decade and a half. An experienced financial educator, his biggest learnings from his time working in markets, investing and finance is that our individual behaviour towards money is always different and always changing.
