Poor Charlie's Almanack: The Wit and Wisdom of Charles T. Munger

Charles T. Munger, edited by Peter D. Kaufman

a definitive collection of speeches and "Mungerisms" from the late vice-chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, offering a masterclass in rational decision-making and lifelong learning. The book introduces Munger’s signature "latticework of mental models," drawing on disciplines like psychology, physics, and history to help readers avoid common cognitive biases and "human misjudgment." Rather than focusing solely on stock picking, the text emphasizes the importance of ethics, discipline, and the pursuit of objective truth as the foundation for both financial success and a meaningful life. Through Munger’s characteristic wit and directness, the almanack serves as a practical toolkit for anyone looking to "go to bed a little wiser than when they woke up."
