I like this book about its logical flow, gathering of people's thoughts and life examples.
I also like how the book starts with evolution. The brain carries thoughts and ingenious thoughts are seen as wisdom. The explanations of how people make decisions in terms of biological reasons have been very well revealing the fundamentals where other psychological, physical and mathematical reasons are built on. Sometimes we need to understand the basics to make good decisions, which has just been simply implied by the structure of the book.
Although a lot of quotes and examples are collected from Buffett and Munger, it is not just a book about wisdom seeking in investment but rather reflecting wisdom throughout life and world no matter what you are. We deserve what we do, but the quality of achievement depends on how we think.
By sharing people's experience in succeeding, this book by Peter Bevelin gives directions for those who want to succeed in life and encourages to build up their own wisdom.
(For more details, please read the book.)

六年前买了,现在才真正理解运用

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!关键还是自己总结模式,思考应用,了解世界怎么运行,真是其...

Seeking Wisdom————书评

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、进化的过程决定了如果我们以前不是这样的我们就灭绝了,人类...
