There is no doubt that Charles Munger is a legend. Perhaps it is more appropriate to introduce him with these words: from the ancient orator, to the European writers in the 18 and 19 centuries, and then to the contemporary pop culture idols, he can make their famous sayings within reach.

For the first time, this book comprehensively, accurately and authoritatively reveals the life wisdom of Charles Munger, an investment guru who always likes to keep a low profile. Including Charlie's major public speeches in the past 20 years.

Maybe after reading it, you will also feel that many problems can be attributed to several simple reasons.

Thinking, fast and slow

Author: Daniel Kahneman

Douban score: 8.2

Thinking, Fast and Slow is called a landmark work of social thought, comparable to Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations and Freud's Interpretation of Dreams.

The theme of this book is "How to Think". Maybe we have learned a lot, but we haven't systematically understood how to think. It is worth mentioning that the conclusion of this book is drawn through rigorous scientific methods.

Do you know when you can trust your intuition? How can we make better choices in shopping malls, workplaces and personal life? How to use different skills to avoid thinking mistakes that often get us into trouble? This book will completely change your way of thinking.

Descartes' mistake

Author: Antonio damasio.

Douban score: 8.2

This book is never lacking in the classic bibliography of psychology, brain science, philosophy, sociology, international relations and management! This book marks a fundamental turning point in western world philosophy.

Under the situation that the dualism of body and mind advocated by Descartes (that is, emotion is the noise of rational thinking) is the mainstream, damasio put forward the diametrically opposite view, subverting the dualism of body and mind that has ruled the West for hundreds of years. This is a spiritual challenge to refresh the reading experience. It turns out that emotion is the protagonist in the decision-making process.

Critical thinking

Author: Maybrook Noel Moore

Douban score: 8.4

Critical thinking is the best-selling college textbook in America. Starting from the importance and necessity of critical thinking, this paper expounds in detail how to think correctly and write clearly, to the rules of effective argumentation, reasonable deduction and inductive reasoning, and then to moral, legal and aesthetic argumentation.

In life, I wonder if you have found that people are willing to accept other people's ideas instead of stopping to think about whether there is any reason to support them.

Critical thinking is thinking about problems. We think critically to consider whether our own (or others') thinking is logical and meets good standards.

Learn to ask questions

Author: Mesnil Brown Stuart Keeley

Douban score: 8.3

Although the name of this book is Learning to Ask Questions, it is actually the same as the last one, which discusses critical thinking. After reading this book, you will feel that you should try your best to understand the analytical reasoning methods whose values run counter to ours. Not hasty, not blindly following, not influenced by emotional and unfounded rumors.

If your brothers and sisters did something forbidden by their parents, would you tell them or hide it? Countless experts say that the stock market will fall, house prices will rise, or they will play the devil's advocate. Who do you trust? Question who? Is the conclusion unique?
