Resumen del Editor

From a renowned financial journalist who has written for Time, Fortune, Forbes, and The New Yorker, a fresh and unexpectedly profound book that draws on hundreds of hours of exclusive interviews with many of the world’s super-investors to demonstrate that the keys for building wealth hold other life lessons as well.

Billionaire investors. If we think of them, it’s with a mixture of awe and suspicion. Clearly, they possess a kind of genius - the proverbial Midas Touch. But are the skills they possess transferable? And do they have anything to teach us besides making money?

In Richer, Wiser, Happier, William Green draws on interviews that he’s conducted over 25 years with many of the world’s greatest investors. As he discovered, their talents extend well beyond the financial realm. The most successful investors are mavericks and iconoclasts who question conventional wisdom and profit vastly from their ability to think more rationally, rigorously, and objectively. They are master game players who consciously maximize their odds of long-term success in markets and life, while also minimizing any risk of catastrophe. They draw powerful insights from many different fields, are remarkably intuitive about trends, practice fanatical discipline, and have developed a high tolerance for pain. As Green explains, the best investors can teach us not only how to become rich, but how to improve the way we think, reach decisions, assess risk, avoid costly errors, build resilience, and turn uncertainty to our advantage.

Green ushers us into the lives of more than 40 super-investors, visiting them in their offices, homes, and even their places of worship - all to share what they have to teach. From Sir John Templeton to Charlie Munger, Jack Bogle to Ed Thorp, Will Danoff to Mohnish Pabrai, Bill Miller to Laura Geritz, Joel Greenblatt to Howard Marks. In explaining how they think and why they win, this “unexpectedly illuminating” (Peter Diamandis) book provides “many nuggets of wisdom” (The Washington Post) that will enrich you both financially and personally.

good perspectives on many different styles and mind sets. well written!

What a great book, Loved it

The book was informing, funny, very entertaining. I've heard many books on audible. This was the 1st one I took the time to write a review. Highly recommend

Great Book about Investing, Business and Life!

I love this book. I mean, absolutely love it. It is one of the best books I've ever listened to on Audible. I don't normally leave reviews, in fact this might even be the first one in years, but I had to take a moment to review and recommend this one.

William Green has written a fascinating anthology (if one can call it that), of the greatest investors of our time. He gives accounts of his meetings over the last several decades with people you've heard of (Munger, Templeton) and many that I was not familiar with (Garrett, Vandenburg and many others). These experiences are all fascinating especially Templeton being tracked down in the Bahamas and Green asking him if it bothered him that some people thought he was a kook! The anecdotes he shares are in many cases hysterically funny and in others, very touching and poignant.

I am a part time, small investor and I learned so much from this book, not only about investing, but also about business success in general and even about how to live a good life. Spoiler alert: Marcus Aurelius has something to say about it.

I always take notes from books I read or listen to (at least the non-fiction ones), and usually come up with a page or two. With Richer, Wiser Happier I ended up with SEVEN pages of typed notes! I will read and re-read these notes over and over again.

I also want to say something about the narrator--Raphael Corkhill has an extremely pleasant speaking voice, just the right amount of accent, and made the book a joy to listen to.

Please buy this book! You will be very, very happy that you did.

Lots of good "life nuggets"

The stories were somewhat repetitive but worth it due to the wonderful life lessons.

Interesting stories about famous investors - their approach to making money and living their lives

Entertaining, sometimes fascinating, I learned more about famous investors, their styles and philosophies. I would recommend this book and might even listen to it again so I can become a better investor and person.

Simply one of the best business books ever written and narrated. Raphael Corkhill narration makes the book worth listening than reading.
