Delivered with Mungers characteristic sharp wit and rhetorical flair, it is an essential volume for any reader seeking to go to bed a little wiser than when they woke up.

We should all aspire to such clarity."Katherine Boyle, general partner at a16z

Those who know only a little about him think Munger was a paragon of how to pick stockswhich he was. But those who knew him well consider him a moral exemplarsomeone who showed how to think clearly, deal fairly and live fully. He took nothing for granted.Jason Zweig, Wall Street Journal





Mungers book offers a rare look inside one of the greatest minds of our time. From avoiding a life of misery to choosing the right business partner, youll learn to apply Mungerisms to every aspect of your life.Marcel Schwantes, INC





As instructive as Mungers advicewhich affords peeks into how he and Buffett made their implausibly profitable investment decisionsis his unapologetic skewering of the sacred principles of contemporary investing and business education, and of the behavior of the business community generally Munger's painfully honest and occasionally indecorous views on the mainstream investing world make for entertaining reading.
