Reading up on Morgan Housel

Here’s an interesting fact. Morgan Housel threw out a third of The Psychology of Money while writing it. He started with traditional long chapters (4k–6k words). It felt wrong, almost rambling, full of fluff. So he scrapped it and rewrote the book as 20 short, story-driven chapters in the style he’d already mastered online. Every major U.S. publisher rejected it. A small U.K. house took it with a 5,000-copy first print run. It went on to sell millions.
