The Collected Wisdom of
Charlie Munger
1924 — 2023
“Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up.”
— Poor Charlie’s Almanack
A Note from the Editor
Charlie Munger spent nearly a century collecting wisdom — from books, from mistakes, from disciplines most people never think to study. He gave it away freely, in shareholder meetings and commencement speeches and offhand remarks that somehow cut deeper than whole libraries on the same subject.
When he passed in November 2023, I realized how scattered it all was. A quote here, a speech transcript there, fragments of a remarkable mind spread across the internet with no single place to find it all.
Mungerisms is my attempt to fix that — a reference library to collect, organize, and preserve everything Charlie taught us about thinking clearly, investing wisely, and living well. The quotes, the mental models, the speeches, the life. All in one place.
Charlie believed wisdom acquisition was a moral duty. Consider this a small contribution to that cause.
