Poor Charlie's Almanack is a complete collection of Charlie Munger's personal biography and investment philosophy, as well as Munger's major public speeches and media interviews over the past 20 years. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of ancient orators, European writers of the 18th and 19th centuries, and contemporary pop culture idols. He can easily quote famous quotes from these people and use them to emphasize the benefits of lifelong learning and maintaining a desire for knowledge. Munger's intelligence, admirable values and unfathomable rhetorical talent run through the book.
