I've just borrowed "Seeking Wisdom: From Darwin to Munger" by Peter Bevelin. Only skimmed through it thus far, but it seems like a real treasure trove. I have only a passing knowledge of Charles Munger- that his writings and speeches are featured in "Poor Charlie's Almanack: The Wit and Wisdom of Charles Munger", that he is Vice-Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Corp., that he is Republican, and that he is an extremely wise and humorous man. His speeches are legendary.
Aside from Munger, the book also quotes Warren Buffett, Confucius, and Richard Feynman, to list a few. The one repeating theme I've noticed is: do things right and keep things simple.
I'll post a review when I'm finished reading.
