Words of wisdom from Charlie Munger--Warren Buffett's longtime
business partner and the visionary Vice Chairman of Berkshire
Hathaway--collected and interpreted with an eye towards investing by
David Clark, coauthor of the bestselling Buffettology series.
Born in Omaha, Nebraska in 1924, Charlie Munger studied mathematics at
the University of Michigan, trained as a meteorologist at Cal Tech
Pasadena while in the Army, and graduated magna cum laude from Harvard
Law School without ever earning an undergraduate degree. Today, Munger
is one of America's most successful investors, the Vice Chairman of
Berkshire Hathaway, and Warren Buffett's business partner for almost
forty years. Buffett says "Berkshire has been built to Charlie's
blueprint. My role has been that of general contractor." Munger is an
intelligent, opinionated businessman whose ideas can teach professional
and amateur investors how to be successful in finance and life.
Like The Tao of Warren Buffett and The Tao of Te Ching, The Tao of
Charlie Munger is a compendium of pithy quotes including, "Knowing what
you don't know is more useful than being brilliant" and "In my whole
life, I have known no wise people who didn't read all the time--none,
zero." This collection, culled from interviews, speeches, and questions
and answers at the Berkshire Hathaway and Wesco annual meetings, offers
insights into Munger's amazing financial success and life philosophies.
Described by Business Insider as "sharp in his wit and investing
wisdom," Charlie Munger's investment tips, business philosophy, and
rules for living are as unique as his life story, intelligent as he
clearly is, and as successful as he has been.
