Poor Charlie’s Almanack

The Essential Wit and Wisdom of Charles T. Munger

De: Charles T. Munger

Narrado por: Grover Gardener

From the legendary vice-chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, lessons in investment strategy, philanthropy, and living a rational and ethical life.

"Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up," Charles T. Munger advises in Poor Charlie’s Almanack. Originally published in 2005, this compendium of 11 talks, delivered by the legendary Berkshire Hathaway vice-chairman between 1986 and 2007, has become a touchstone for a generation of investors and entrepreneurs seeking to absorb the enduring wit and wisdom of one of the great minds of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Edited by Peter D. Kaufman, chairman and CEO of Glenair and longtime friend of Charlie Munger—whom he calls “this generation’s answer to Benjamin Franklin”—this abridged Stripe Press edition of Poor Charlie’s Almanack features a brand-new foreword by Stripe cofounder John Collison.

Poor Charlie’s Almanack draws on Munger’s encyclopedic knowledge of business, finance, history, philosophy, physics, and ethics—and more besides—to introduce the latticework of mental models that underpin his rational and rigorous approach to life, learning, and decision-making. Delivered with Munger’s characteristic sharp wit and rhetorical flair, it is an essential volume for any listener seeking to go to bed a little wiser than when they woke up.

Great read.

I’m so happy the Founders Podcast shared this gem of a book with me. I’ll make this an annual read.

Influential

I have read hard copy 6 years ago. So happy, I was able to re-listen entire book now. Looking forward to re-listening different sections whenever I want.

Every Chapter.

I Love You Charlie. You are always in our Hearts. In our thoughts. Our ideas. Make us the wiser.

I liked how he went through common pitfalls of most young people.

So much to be able to summarize but it’s like a wise grandfather talking to grandchildren giving them lessons of how to do better at life.

Lot of golden nuggets

To maximize the learnings of these book have to listen and read at the same times to fully understand.
