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...

努力看了快一半看不下去了，如果之前这类书都没接触过，那是真的很透彻很详尽；但是大都看过的话想找新的东西很难
评分有一些观点是之前读过的，但作者的思路很赞同。
评分从不同的角度诠释查理芒格的格栅投资思维理论，读来获益匪浅。
