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

Descripción

From the Publisher Praise for Poor Charlie’s Almanack Someone who showed how to think clearly, deal fairly and live fully. “Those who know only a little about him think Munger was a paragon of how to pick stocks—which he was. But those who knew him well consider him a moral exemplar—someone who showed how to think clearly, deal fairly and live fully. He took nothing for granted.” —Jason Zweig, The Wall Street Journal Selling thousands of copies, year after year. “This book is something of a publishing miracle—never advertised, yet year after year selling many thousands of copies from its internet site.” —Warren Buffett, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway You’ll learn to apply ‘Mungerisms’ to every aspect of your life. “Munger’s 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, you’ll learn to apply ‘Mungerisms’ to every aspect of your life.” —Marcel Schwantes, Inc. Painfully honest, occasionally indecorous, entertaining reading. “As instructive as Munger’s advice… is 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.” —Dave Mandle, The Los Angeles Review of Books About the author Charles T.
