管理，就在这里
芒格说：“在这投资领域中，若没做过扎实的阅读工夫，我不认为你可以成为真正优秀的投资人，而我也不认为有哪一本书可以为你做到这些。” 在阅读中，建立自己的“思维模式格栅”，这需要大量阅读数学、生物学、物理学、社会学、心理学、哲学和文学等各学科及相关学科中著名科学家的重要著述，了解并熟悉书中介绍的核心概念，将不同学科的思考模式联系起来并融会贯通。同时，将这些理论应用到投资上去，进行正确思考和独立思考，进而聪明地投资，从而取得最佳投资回报。
芒格说：“我想自己不是受到良好教育的典范，我是自己学会通过阅读而获取自己想要的信息的。我一生中常常如此。我经常是更喜欢已经作古的杰出导师而不喜欢仍在人世的老师。”
如果你想得到智慧，你需要安静地坐下来读书，这就是智慧的来源。
在每年的Berkshire Hathaway、Wesco股东大会和演讲中，芒格都会推荐一些书籍，现将有关书籍、出处及评论整理如下：
一、传记类
芒格十分喜欢读传记。芒格说：“我认为，如果你想把一些伟大的有用的思想教给人们的话朴帅眉，传记是一种更易于使人们将思想创立者的生活与人格联系在一起的方式。如果你同亚当?斯密交朋友，你会把经济学学得更好。“同那些已经过世的伟人交朋友”这听起来很荒唐。但是如果你一生中总是与那些有远见卓识的故人交友的话，那么你将生活得更好，更有教养。这比仅仅讲一些大道理强多了。”
1、《富兰克林自传》箭芒 ，The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin

Charlie Munger also recommended reading "anything about his personal hero, Benjamin Franklin." - 1998 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting

7、《约翰逊传, 通向权力之路,参院之主>,The Path to Power (The Years of Lyndon Johnson, Volume 1) (Robert Caro罗伯特?卡洛)
I loved Caro’s book – I thought it was very well done. I think reading his biography on LBJ is very important for anyone who wants a view into the human condition. LBJ never told the truth when a lie would be better. This is the way he went through life. He had a high intellect and extraordinary energy and did a lot of good along with the bad. I’m not sure he didn’t do more good than bad. But I think it’s an appalling life to lie as much as LBJ. What I said at Berkshire meeting about the robber barons applies here: “When he’s talking, he’s lying, and when he’s quiet, he’s stealing.” Charlie Munger, 2004 Wesco Annual Meeting
8、《安德鲁.卡耐基》，Andrew Carnegie by Joseph Frazier Wall（约瑟夫.弗雷泽.沃）， 2003 WESCO Annual Meeting
9、《洛克菲勒:一个关于财富的神话》，Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller, Sr. by Ron Chernow(罗恩?切尔诺), 1999 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting
I must confess that I am a hopeless lover of biographies and autobiographies. With that caveat in mind I found this book on the life of Mr. Rockefeller intriguing. The life he lived, the company he created, and his management style are all worth studying. I also found it an interesting case study on monopolies and I found myself contrasting the situations of Standard Oil and Microsoft often.
10、《比尔?盖兹与微软帝国的创建》，Hard Drive: Bill Gates and the Making of the Microsoft Empire by James Wallace and Jim Erickson（华莱士与艾瑞克森）.
"I think Bill Gates' biography, is a very useful book. You really get a feeling for what it took to write and sell software in the software revolution." -June 30, 1993 - Wesco Annual Meeting
11、Les Schwab Pride in Performance:Keep It Going by Les Schwab ，2004 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting.
Les Schwab autobiography which gives a very good idea on small business compensation plans."

12、《购并霸业：时代华纳总裁史蒂夫?罗斯传》Master of the Game:Steve Ross and the Creation of Time Warner"by Connie Bruck. June 23, 1994

13、《物种起源》，The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin

19、《温度，决定一切》，A Matter of Degrees: What Temperature Reveals About the Past and Future of Our Species, Planet, and Universe by Gino segre（基诺?沙格瑞）
"A Matter of Degrees, by physicist named Segre, is a perfectly marvelous book. Not a book you can go through at 90 mph, but if you parse through it slowly, you'll get a lot out of it. You'll get a lot of hours per dollar if you use it right." 2003 Wesco Annual Meeting.
20、《语言本能》， The Language Instinct: How the Mind Creates Language by Steven Pinker(史蒂芬?平克), March 13, 1998

"Best work of science exposition and history that I've read in many years!" - (from the back cover of the book)
"I recommend Ice Age, which traces the past history of glaciation. It's the best book of scientific explanation I've ever read." - 2002 Wesco Annual Meeting。
23、《深奥的简洁:从混沌、复杂到地球生命的起源》,
Deep Simplicity: Bringing Order to Chaos and Complexity by John Gribbin（约翰?葛瑞宾）；

25、《三个科学家和他们各自的上帝：在信息时代寻找生命的意义》，Three Scientists and Their Gods: Looking For Meaning in An Age of Information by Robert Wright,，Robert Wright（罗伯特.怀特），
"It's a very interesting book for a certain academic type". - 2001 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting
一、社会科学类
芒格认为挑选股票是处世艺术的一个分支，要将投资视为处世能力的一部分来理解。芒格不但十分喜欢在历史传统等方面对国家的兴衰贫富演变作了精湛而深刻的分析的书籍，而且十分喜欢经济学，特别是认为经济学是“the queen of the soft sciences in many respects”,因此，他推荐了一些社会发展史、心理学、管理学或者综合学科的著作。

"...books like Guns, Germs, and Steel, don't come along very often."， 2000 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting. Charlie Munger liked the book because Diamond is "always asking WHY ?" - 1998 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting.
28、《生活在极限之内：生态学、经济学和人口禁忌》，Living Within Limits : Ecology, Economics, and Population Taboos by Garrett Hardin (加勒特.哈丁)

This important book examines how wealth and culture intertwine over time and the effects both can have on nations. It provides a thoughtful, rational explanation of why various cultures that possess certain advantages never have become world powers. It also examines why certain countries have become so successful and why others have fallen. Everyone should study the reasons why certain countries have been successful and others have not so we can learn from those challenges and not be doomed to repeat the same mistakes
31、《影响力》，Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion by Robert B. Cialdini(2000)；"This program will help executives make better decisions and use their influence wisely . . . Robert Cialdini has had a greater impact on my thinking on this topic than any other scientist."

Views on Ben Graham's Ideas :The idea of a margin of safety, a Graham precept, will never be obsolete. The idea of making the market your servant will never be obsolete. The idea of being objective and dispassionate will never be obsolete. So Graham had a lot of wonderful ideas.
I liked Graham, and he always interested and amused me. But I never had the worship for buying the stocks he did. So I don't have the worship for that Warren does. I picked up the ideas, but discarded the practices that didn't suit me. I don't want to own bad businesses run by people I don't like and say, "no matter how horrible this is to watch, it [the stock] will bounce by 25%." I'm not temperamentally attracted to it.
