Summary

From an award-winning financial journalist who has written for The New Yorker, Time, and Fortune, a fresh and unexpectedly profound book that draws on interviews with more than forty of the world’s super-investors to demonstrate that the keys used to building wealth hold other life lessons as well。

Billionaire investors。 If we think of them, it’s with a mixture of awe and suspicion。 Clearly, they possess a kind of genius—the proverbial Midas Touch。 But are the skills they possess transferable? And would we really want to be them? Do they have anything to teach us besides making money?

In RicherWiser, Happier, award-winning journalist William Green has spent nearly twenty-five years interviewing these investing wizards and discovered that their talents expand well beyond the financial realm and into practical philosophy。 As he discovered, most of these men and women view the world in a more interconnected way。 They look broadly at the culture, are remarkably intuitive about trends, practice fanatical discipline, and have developed a high tolerance for pain。 They are also stunningly good at boiling down the maddeningly complex to two or three easy variables。

Green ushers us into the lives of more than forty of the world’s super-investors, visiting them in their offices, vacation homes, and even their places of worship—all to share what they have to teach us。 RicherWiser, Happier brings together the thinking of some of the best investors, from Warren Buffet to Howard Marks to John Templeton, and provides gems of insight that will enrich you not only financially but also professionally and personally。

I gotta admit, I was pretty bored with this one at the beginning。 It started slow and didn’t really cover too many investing principles。 That said, I’m glad I kept reading because it got better and better as it went along。 By the end of it, I was actually quite pleased with the purchase, which was surprising given the tough start。In terms of content, this one follows several investment icons and divulges their insights, strategies, and key lessons。 Some of the prominent investors featured here i I gotta admit, I was pretty bored with this one at the beginning。 It started slow and didn’t really cover too many investing principles。 That said, I’m glad I kept reading because it got better and better as it went along。 By the end of it, I was actually quite pleased with the purchase, which was surprising given the tough start。In terms of content, this one follows several investment icons and divulges their insights, strategies, and key lessons。 Some of the prominent investors featured here include Charlie Munger, Warren Buffet, and Howard Marks。 By the end, the reader learns all sorts of good financial wisdom from various investors all over the world。My favorite part was the epilogue。 It went beyond the financial aspect of things, focusing on the idea that, without friends, family, and health, we have no true wealth at all。 This part of the book reminds the reader that even though financial wealth is important, we should never make it our chief aim in life。 These reminders round out the manuscript really nicely。-Brian SachettaAuthor of “Get Out of Your Head” 。。。more

A good summary of some famous investors, but also intertwines life philosophies throughout the book。 I thought it was beautifully presented and told, but the information was nothing I didn't already know。 Mostly distills and summarizes important concepts, but that is still useful。 I wish I had read it earlier in my career as this would be a wonderful book for one just starting on their journey。 A good summary of some famous investors, but also intertwines life philosophies throughout the book。 I thought it was beautifully presented and told, but the information was nothing I didn't already know。 Mostly distills and summarizes important concepts, but that is still useful。 I wish I had read it earlier in my career as this would be a wonderful book for one just starting on their journey。 。。。more

This is a good book。 While there is nothing here that I haven't read before, it is well written, well organized and the material priceless。 You can not, as an investor or as a human, read the advice compiled here too many times。 Well done, and thank you to William Green。 This is a good book。 While there is nothing here that I haven't read before, it is well written, well organized and the material priceless。 You can not, as an investor or as a human, read the advice compiled here too many times。 Well done, and thank you to William Green。 。。。more
