Claudia Hammond's new book, "Mind Over Money," looks at the psychology of money and our relationship to it. 

"People will go to much more effort to save ten dollars on something that costs forty, than they will on something that costs $1,000," Hammond told MPR News host Kerri Miller. "And yet, it's all ten dollars."
