Five Lessons from History - Morgan Housel

 This is a great blog post about lessons from History - I recommend reading it.


The five key lessons, as Morgan Housel highlights them are:

- "People suffering from sudden, unexpected hardship are likely to adopt views they previously thought unthinkable";

- "Reversion to the mean occurs because people persuasive enough to make something grow don't have the kind of personalities that allow them to stop before pushing too far"

- "Unsustainable things can last longer than you anticipate"

- "Progress happens too slowly for people to notice; setbacks happen too fast for people to ignore"

- "Wounds heal, scars last"
