Book club discussion group with Mayor Stephanie Orman.

In collaboration with Bentonville Public Library (BPL) and sponsored by Friends of the Library, The Mayor’s Book Club includes a book club discussion centered around a selected book. 

The Spring book selection for 2024 is The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel. 

Community Event – Book Discussion Group 

The community event will include an engaging book discussion centered on the selected book and is open to the public. Participants will register in advance to reserve a free book and participate in the in-person discussion at BPL. The book discussion conversation will be led by Mayor Stephanie Orman. 

All books are sponsored by the Friends of the Bentonville Library, available at the Bentonville Library for pickup and free to keep if you attend the event. If you are unable to attend, please return the book to BPL for others to enjoy. Books are available on a first-come, first-serve basis while supplies last. Participants are encouraged to attend the discussion group, even if they have not read the book.

Book Summary:

Doing well with money isn't necessarily about what you know. It's about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. Money--investing, personal finance, and business decisions--is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don't make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life's most important topics.
