Some great quotes from the book such as,

• ‘Money’s greatest intrinsic value—and this can’t be overstated—is its ability to give you control over your time.”
• “Doing well with money has a little to do with how smart you are and a lot to do with how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. A genius who loses control of their emotions can be a financial disaster. The opposite is also true. Ordinary folks with no financial education can be wealthy if they have a handful of behavioral skills that have nothing to do with formal measures of intelligence.”
• “Using your money to buy time and options has a lifestyle benefit few luxury goods can compete with.”
• “My own theory is that, in the real world, people do not want the mathematically optimal strategy. They want the strategy that maximizes for how well they sleep at night.”
