Peter Bevelin begins his fascinating book with Confucius' great wisdom: "A man who has committed a mistake and doesn't correct it, is committing another mistake." Seeking Wisdom is the result of Bevelin's learning about attaining wisdom. His quest for wisdom originated partly from making mistakes himself and observing those of others but also from the philosophy of super-investor and Berkshire Hathaway Vice Chairman Charles Munger. A man whose simplicity and clarity of thought was unequal to anything Bevelin had seen.
In addition to naturalist Charles Darwin and Munger, Bevelin cites an encyclopedic range of thinkers: from first-century BCE Roman poet Publius Terentius to Mark Twain—from Albert Einstein to Richard Feynman—from 16th Century French essayist Michel de Montaigne to Berkshire Hathaway Chairman Warren Buffett. In the book, he describes ideas and research findings from many different fields.
This book is for those who love the constant search for knowledge. It is in the spirit of Charles Munger, who says, "All I want to know is where I'm going to die so I'll never go there." There are roads that lead to unhappiness. An understanding of how and why we can "die" should help us avoid them. We can't eliminate mistakes, but we can prevent those that can really hurt us.
Using exemplars of clear thinking and attained wisdom, Bevelin focuses on how our thoughts are influenced, why we make misjudgments and tools to improve our thinking. Bevelin tackles such eternal questions as: Why do we behave like we do? What do we want out of life? What interferes with our goals?
Read and study this wonderful multidisciplinary exploration of wisdom. It may change the way you think and act in business and in life.
如果你已经看过《巴菲特致股东的信》、《穷查理宝典》以及《自私的基因》,那就不用看这本书了。它基本上只是摘抄,这儿一部分那儿一部分的。说的内容都是对的,但就是觉得像拼起来的,没有自己独特的新思想。 这可能也是我看这本书比较慢比较犯困的原因吧。如果你希望这本书...
評分这是一本叫你如何思考,完善你思维模型的书,这样的书很少,我知道的只有《穷查理宝典》了,在你的知识体系中这样的书的地位肯定要高于传授知识类书籍,你说呢? 人为什么会自私、贪婪、恐惧,又善良、勤奋、妒忌、狂热、面对压力肾上腺素就激增?我们的身体结构、进化的过程...
評分原刊于《证券市场周刊》2013年第32期。 五花王/文 古人有云,读书要靠枕上、厕上、马上。 说到枕上,我床头放着的《Seeking Wisdom:From Darwin to Munger》(《探寻智慧:从达尔文到芒格》)是我百读不厌的一本书。从最早某家自称价值投资的杂志用内部资料形式翻译的中文版...
評分这本是讲思维模式的,威力太大,尤其是应用在生活实践中时。六年前我买了,没真正理解,不理解什么是芒格所说的模式,更不会运用实践。最近对心理学有了新认识翻出来看了,顿觉太有用了。 不知道还有类似书的吗?我去亚马逊看了,没看到。哪位豆友能推荐吗?谢谢! 关键还是...
