Poor Charlie's Almanack

The Wit and Wisdom of Charles T. Munger

Munger's mental models for thinking clearly across every discipline.

by Charles T. Munger, edited by Peter D. Kaufman

This collection gathers Charlie Munger's speeches, talks, and writings, centered on his framework of multidisciplinary mental models. It explores rational decision making, the psychology of human misjudgment, and the value of drawing wisdom from many fields. The book blends biography, philosophy, and practical thinking tools.

Founders face decisions under uncertainty constantly, and Munger's latticework of mental models is a toolkit for thinking clearly and avoiding predictable errors. His famous talk on the psychology of human misjudgment alone is worth the read for anyone making high-stakes calls.
