Dan perilaku, sering kali, jauh lebih sulit diajarkan-bahkan kepada orang-orang yang sangat cerdas sekalipun. Selama ini, uang-baik dalam konteks investasi, keuangan pribadi, maupun keputusan bisnis-umumnya diajarkan sebagai bidang yang berbasis matematika, di mana data dan rumus seolah bisa memberikan jawaban pasti tentang apa yang harus dilakukan. Namun pada kenyataannya, keputusan finansial jarang dibuat di atas lembar kerja Excel. Ia terjadi di meja makan, di ruang rapat-di tempat-tempat di mana sejarah pribadi, cara pandang unik terhadap dunia, ego, harga diri, pengaruh iklan, dan berbagai kepentingan yang tak terduga saling bercampur aduk. Dalam The Psychology of Money, penulis peraih berbagai penghargaan, Morgan Housel, membagikan 19 kisah singkat yang menggambarkan beragam cara manusia memandang uang-sekaligus mengajarkan kita cara memahami salah satu aspek terpenting dalam hidup ini dengan lebih bijak.

What has the field of psychology got to do with the Bible? Can it shed light on certain events in the Bible? Does it undermine the Bible and the teachings therein? Are there any secular psychology publications that can affirm Biblical events or teachings? Can psychology be used as an evangelistic tool? And has psychology been abused to justify unbiblical practices and concepts like demonology? As knowledge in the sciences grow, unbiblical interpretations flooded and will continue to flood the various disciplines. Psychology is a field that can study and affirm biblical teachings in areas where the other sciences cannot. To show this, the articles in the book leverage on modern day psychology understanding to illustrate the effects of the Fall and its effects on our understanding of God's Word. Topics include the "Psychology of Evil", introspection, and psychological understanding of languages, all to show how the Word of God, as recorded in the preserved texts of the Holy Scriptures, can be applied to our lives. Most importantly, the articles also aim to highlight that it is only with the Scriptures, can psychological findings make sense. The articles in the book expand on certain concepts and arguments previously mentioned in the previous books by the author: "A Practical Guide to the Logic, Philosophy, and Thoughts of Christianity", "Another Practical Guide to the Logic, Philosophy, and Thoughts of Christianity", as well as "A Guide to the Biblical Lands: Jordan and Israel".
