blog.pmarca.com: The Psychology of Entrepreneurial Misjudgment, part 1: Biases 1-6

 
I picked up Charlie's book last year in Los Angeles at the Huntington Library.  It is worth it's weight in gold.  I just wish the darn thing wasn't so heavy...

Charlie Munger is an 80-something billionaire who cofounded top-tier law firm Munger, Tolles & Olson and is Warren Buffett's long-time partner and Vice-Chairman at Berkshire Hathaway, one of the most successful companies of all time.

Some people, including me, consider Mr. Munger to be an even more interesting thinker and writer than Mr. Buffett, and recently a group of Mr. Munger's friends assembled a compilation book of his most interesting thoughts and speeches called Poor Charlie's Almanack, inspired by Ben Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanack. (The Munger book is only available on Amazon in used form, although you can apparently buy a new copy here.)
