A beautiful gift for biography readers!

"Charlie Munger’s advice and approach to life is inspirational to readers from diverse backgrounds. Not only is his philosophy of multi-disciplinary learning and contrarian thinking relevant to investing, but also knowledgeable for people exploring the unlikeliest of subject areas, including physics, biology, and psychology, etc. which he frequently references in the book. Accounts from the people dearest to him also give readers a deeper insight into his life story. Beautiful cover and great production quality."

Marlyn B. (5/5)

Entertaining, heartfelt life wisdom

"In life, Charlie Munger spoke wise words. A legend. It’s nice to have his words and stories to pick up and revisit."

JannyT (5/5)

Best book you will read this year

"I highlight passages I want to return to and this book is lit up like a Christmas tree. This is a book that lessons will last for generations. Great gift to give to family and friends."

Tristan (5/5)

Fast shipping and easy find

"Easy to find on website and fast shipping . Packaged well and book was in excellent condition and shape."

Puspen (5/5)

Highly amusing read

"Fantastic read. The book is a collection of memories of Charlie by his children and Warren Buffet, his childhood, as well as a collection of addresses he made. I have had to consciously put the book down and let the contents sink in. My instinct would be to devour this book in one sitting."

"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

Poor Charlie’s Almanack is 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

“This book is the best way to learn from Munger and his ideas. It’s a must-read for anyone interested in thinking clearly, rationally, and effectively.”—Ana Lorena Fabrega, author, educator, and chief evangelist at Synthesis

“Charlie Munger’s insights are timeless. Some of these speeches were delivered over 20 years ago, but they feel like they could have been given yesterday.”—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
