âOne of the best investing books ever written.â âCharlie Munger
From an award-winning financial journalist, a fresh and insightful book that draws on interviews with more than forty of the worldâs super-investors to demonstrate that the keys to building wealth also apply to everyday life.
Billionaire investors. If we think of them, itâs with a mixture of awe and suspicion. Clearly, they possess a kind of geniusâthe proverbial Midas Touch. But are the skills they possess transferable? And do they have anything to teach us besides making money.
In Richer, Wiser, Happier, William Green draws on interviews that heâs conducted over twenty-five years with many of the worldâs greatest investors. As he discovered, their talents extend well beyond the financial realm. The most successful investors are mavericks and iconoclasts who question conventional wisdom and profit vastly from their ability to think more rationally, rigorously, and objectively. They are master game players who consciously maximize their odds of long-term success in markets and life, while also minimizing any risk of catastrophe. They draw powerful insights from many different fields, are remarkably intuitive about trends, practice fanatical discipline, and have developed a high tolerance for pain. As Green explains, the best investors can teach us not only how to become rich, but how to improve the way we think, reach decisions, assess risk, avoid costly errors, build resilience, and turn uncertainty to our advantage.
Green ushers us into the lives of more than forty super-investors, visiting them in their offices, homes, and even their places of worshipâall to share what they have to teach us. From Sir John Templeton to Charlie Munger, Jack Bogle to Ed Thorp, Will Danoff to Mohnish Pabrai, Joel Greenblatt to Howard Marks, Green explains how they think and why they win.
Profound, practical, and âunexpectedly illuminatingâ (Peter Diamandis), Richer, Wiser, Happier provides âmany nuggets of wisdomâ (The Washington Post) that will enrich you both financially and personally.
