The Wit and Wisdom of Charles T. Munger

Expanded Third Edition

Forward by Warren E. Buffett
Edited by Peter D. Kaufman

From 1733 to 1758, Ben Franklin dispensed useful and timeless advice through Poor Richard’s Almanack. Among the virtues extolled were thrift, duty, hard work, and simplicity. Subsequently, two centuries went by during which Ben’s thoughts on these subjects were regarded as the last word. Then Charlie Munger stepped forth.

– Warren Buffett

Charles Helman Lea once said, “It will generally be admitted that the true test of all books is the influence they have upon the lives and conduct of their readers.” We hope this book passes that test, exerting a lasting influence on you.
