Seeking Wisdom

Peter Bevelin's search for wisdom grew out of his own mistakes, the mistakes he saw others make, and the philosophy of Charlie Munger, Berkshire Hathaway's longtime vice chairman. Seeking Wisdom is what he learned. Drawing on thinkers from Darwin and Montaigne to Einstein, Feynman, and Warren Buffett, Bevelin explains how our thinking is shaped, why we misjudge, and which tools help us think better. In Munger's spirit, the goal is to avoid the mistakes that can really hurt us.

Shane Parrish: “8. Seeking Wisdom — Peter Bevelin is one smart dude. Inspired by Munger, he’s put together a book of the big ideas that carry a lot of weight in life. Finding this book new is difficult, just buy a used copy.”
