From the legendary vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, lessons in strategic investing, philanthropy, and living with logic and ethics.

“A timeless classic that will change the way you approach life. There's a billion-dollar education in this book.”

“Try to get a little wiser every day than you were when you woke up,” advises Charles T. Munger in Poor Charlie's Almanack. First published in 2005, this collection of eleven talks given by the legendary vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway between 1986 and 2007 has become a reference point for a generation of investors and entrepreneurs seeking to absorb the enduring acumen and wisdom of one of the greatest minds of the 20th and 21st centuries.

The editor is Peter D. Kaufman, chairman and CEO of Glenair and a long-time friend of Charlie Munger - whom he calls “our generation's answer to Benjamin Franklin” - this abridged version of Poor Charlie's Almanack was published by Stripe Press with a new foreword by Stripe co-founder, John Collison.

Poor Charlie's Almanack draws from Munger's encyclopedic knowledge of business, economics, history, philosophy, physics, and ethics - and much more - to present the latticework of mental models that underpin the logical and rigorous approach to life, learning, and decision making. Presented with his characteristic acuity and rhetorical prowess, it is an essential work for any reader wishing to go to bed a little wiser than they awoke.
