Meaningful Geneva

### Meaningful Geneva : dinner & book discussion

Book: The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel

📍 Venue: Restaurant Xiang Yu
🕢 Time: 19:30 on 13 November, Thursday

Join us for dinner and meaningful conversation about The Psychology of Money - a book that explores how our emotions, background, and behavior shape the way we think about wealth, success, and life choices.

It’s great if you’ve read the book, but even if you haven’t, you’re welcome to join the discussion, share your thoughts, and draw inspiration from others’ perspectives.

Each participant will have a chance to reflect, contribute, and connect with open-minded people over good food.

🔸 Limited to 6 participants
🔸 Language: English

A few quotes to inspire the discussion:

• The highest form of wealth is the ability to wake up every morning and say, ‘I can do whatever I want today.

• …doing something you love on a schedule you can’t control can feel the same as doing something you hate.

• The illusion of control is more persuasive than the reality of uncertainty.

• None of the 2,000 books picking apart Buffett’s success are titled ‘This Guy Has Been Investing Consistently for Three-Quarters of a Century.’ But we know that’s the key to most of his success.

• The line between ‘inspiringly bold’ and ‘foolishly reckless’ can be a millimeter thick — and only visible with hindsight.

A quote to inspire the discussion:

“Who would you be? Who would you be if you stopped telling the same sad f*** story over and over again of what happened to you? If you just dropped all of it, stopped talking about drugs all the time and what you did when you were on them. Stopped talking about all of the s*** that happened to you when you were a kid. You’re 37 years old now. No one’s trying to hurt you. No one’s coming after you. No one’s going to hold you down and *** you. You haven’t done drugs in three years. Stop f*** talking about them. Stop glamorizing them. Who would you be without your story? Who would you become?”
