Richer, Wiser, Happier: How the World's Greatest Investors Win in Markets and Life Audible Audiobook – Unabridged
From a renowned financial journalist who has written for Time, Fortune, Forbes, and The New Yorker, a fresh and unexpectedly profound book that draws on hundreds of hours of exclusive interviews with many of the world’s super-investors to demonstrate that the keys for 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 do they have anything to teach us besides making money?
In Richer, Wiser, Happier, William Green draws on interviews that he’s conducted over 25 years with many of the world’s 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 40 super-investors, visiting them in their offices, homes, and even their places of worship - all to share what they have to teach. From Sir John Templeton to Charlie Munger, Jack Bogle to Ed Thorp, Will Danoff to Mohnish Pabrai, Bill Miller to Laura Geritz, Joel Greenblatt to Howard Marks. In explaining how they think and why they win, this “unexpectedly illuminating” (Peter Diamandis) book provides “many nuggets of wisdom” (The Washington Post) that will enrich you both financially and personally.

My sense is the book will age very well and will earn its place at the center of every investor's library. In essence, This books is an investors' version of William Thorndike's The Outsiders (another exceptional, seminal book). William Green does a superb job of distilling the personality, intellectual and emotional traits that explain the enduring success of great investors.
One of my favorite parts of this book is the "Notes on Sources and Additional Resources" at the back. For most books this is an afterthought, but Green obviously put a lot of effort here: he provides the reader with perhaps one of the best curated recommended reading lists i have ever encountered.
Buy the book, and read it.
What it does it describe what the author has learned as a journalist from his relationships with select billionaires such as Pabrai, Marks, Van Den Berg, Templeton, Sleep, Gaynor, Town, Eveillard, etc. The result is really profound lessons about the impermanence of life, how "everything passes, everything changes" as Bob Dylan once wrote. Lessons about enduring the harsher parts of life and not feeling sorry for yourself. About how we can best deal with uncertainty.
I think most non-investors will enjoy reading this book - even though it is really geared to an audience of investors. It doesn't come from a perspective of greed as so many books about money do, but from one of humility and grace and trying to discover how to be the best we can be in service to others. Munger would say that the best way to enjoy success is to deserve it, and this is a book about the ways to deserve it. Not cheaply gain it.
I'd put it up their with The Outsiders, The Joys of Compounding, and The Education of a Value Investor as some of the best books related to investing that I've read.
