Summary
When planning for the future we often ask, “What will the economy be doing this time next year?” Or, “What will be different ten years from now?”
But forecasting is hard. The important events that will shape the future are inherently unpredictable.
Instead, we should be asking a different question:
What will be the same ten years from now?
What will be the same one hundred years from now?
Knowledge of the things that never change is more useful, and more important, than an uncertain prediction of an unknowable future.
In Same As Ever, bestselling author Morgan Housel shares 24 short stories about the ways that life, behaviour, and business will always be the same.
Armed with this knowledge of the unchanging, you will have a powerful new ability to think about risk, opportunity, and how to navigate the uncertainty of the future.
As you see familiar themes repeat again and again in the years ahead, you’ll find yourself nodding and saying, “Yep, same as ever.”

It is the most realistic book about the world.
- Things that never change are important in an ever-changing world.
- You can't go to the moon by crossing your fingers and hoping for the best.
- The first secret to happiness is low expectations.
- Incredible things happen because of boring statistics. The average person should experience a miracle once a month.
- People don't want accuracy - they want certainty. Thinking in probabilities is rare.
- The best story wins - not the best idea. Masters of storytelling are called comedians.
- The world is driven by forces that cannot be measured. Logic is a concept invented by men, and ignored by the universe.
- Stability is destabilising. Calm plants the seeds of crazy.
- Construction requires skilled engineers; demolition requires only a sledgehammer.
- If you take a good idea, and push it too far, you get a very bad idea.
- Plan like a pessimist and dream like an optimist.
- You waste years by not being able to waste hours.
- There are no permanent advantages.
- All innovation is hard to predict and easy to overlook.
- Moral boundaries can be extended with incentives.
- Mastering simplicity might make you look like an ignorant. But there are no points awarded for complexity.
- Patience is stubbornness in disguise

Good follow up
Very good narrator, thankfully they managed to cut out his swallowing and breathing (which was unbearable in the first book), This book has many great chapters and some not so good, but for the money it is an interesting listen.

Well worth a listen.
Full of wise words, interesting stories and thought provoking facts. The sort of book that I imagine will still read true 100years from now. This guy gets it.

Curiously great
I loved the short chapter format. It’s a beautiful ramble. Some great ‘one liners’ plus plenty of wise words & home truths which had me chuckling to myself in paces. Well worth a few hours of your time.
