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

"A timeless classic that will change how you approach life. There is a billion-dollar education inside this book."—Shane Parrish, founder of Syrus Partners and Farnam Street

"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 eleven 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.

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 reader seeking to go to bed a little wiser than when they woke up.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"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

"Charlie Munger was born before corporate speak, before business leaders minced words to obscure truths. But Charlie Munger’s words have always cut like a knife—and that sharp spirit of truth-seeking built Berkshire into what it is today. We should all aspire to such clarity."
—Katherine Boyle, general partner at a16z

“

—Tyler Hogge, venture partner at Pelion

“If I could only read one book to help me succeed in life and business, this is the book I’d read. Charlie’s timeless wisdom has inspired millions and will continue to resonate for generations to come.” 
—David Senra, creator of the Founders podcast "This book is indispensable reading that will benefit investment professionals and retail investors alike… The rerelease of Munger’s bountiful wit and wisdom is a celebration of nearly a century of success and deserves to be at the top of our reading lists.”
—Ian Robertson, CFA Institute

“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, Wall Street Journal


“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

“As instructive as Munger’s advice—which affords peeks into how he and Buffett made their implausibly profitable investment decisions—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, Los Angeles Review of Books
