What Charlie Munger actually said

  1. Charlie Munger Warren Buffett's business partner and vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway
    The elementary part of psychology—the psychology of misjudgment, as I call it—is a terribly important thing to learn. There are about 20 little principles. And they interact, so it gets slightly complicated. But the guts of it is unbelievably important. Terribly smart people make totally bonkers mistakes by failing to pay heed to it.
