This book is about the fictitious Seeker, who has known a lot of misery, and his visit to the \"Library of Wisdom\" where he meets another fictitious character - the Librarian- along with Warren Buffett and Charles Munger. The Seeker learns how to make better decisions to help his children avoid doing the dumb things he has done. For instance, he learns from Buffett and Munger the best way to prevent trouble is to avoid it altogether by learning what works and what does not. They do so in the spirit of the anonymous man who said: \"All I want to know is where I'm going to die so I'll never go there.\" Additionally, the book provides examples of pure folly and some lessons on how to make fewer dumb mistakes than other people. And then how to fix mistakes faster, should you make them. The major lesson is \"ignorance removal\" and the notion that decision-making is not about making brilliant decision, but avoiding terrible ones. This is not a book for those who like complexities or advanced math - rather it's for those who love efficiency, simplicity and common sense or judgment - hallmarks of Buffett and Munger. Like Einstein, both have a remarkable ability to eliminate folly and superficiality and get directly to the heart of things. As with Poor Charlie's Almanack, Seeking Wisdom, A Few Lessons and The Most Important Thing, net proceeds from sales of All I Want To Know Is Where I'm Going To Die So I'll Never Go There will be donated to charitable, non-profit organizations.

One of the best books I have ever read
The book is packed full of sound advice and common sense that will benefit you in life and business. I wish I had read it 30 years ago! Very complementary to the great insights in Nassim Taleb's books.

Perfeito
O livro é incrível. Uma aula sobre o modelo mental do Warren Buffet e da Berkshire Hathaway. Quase filosófico, com muitas lições de vida, de investimentos e até de carreira. Para quem não tem o inglês muito afiado, pode ficar tranquilo. A leitura é bem fácil. Chegou em ótimo estado, mesmo vindo de um frete internacional. O prazo de entrega foi bem inferior ao que havia sido prometido na compra, o que é muito bom também.

Wait for it.
I've read a lot of books about Munger and Buffett and this is the best one for me. It includes many tidbits through the years from both men in a conversational style. It doesn't really get good until the second half though.

Life changing: one of the most important books I have ever read
Peter Bevelin is an elusive and secretive thinker-doer who I discovered and found credible after discovering references to him in Nassim Taleb's works (the two are friends). Sometimes I wonder whether the secrecy and low-key nature of Peter and his books is some kind of test: seeing if you are smart and independent enough to look beyond the glitz and opinions of other people to identify enormous value in something that is inconspicuous. This is one of Peter Bevelin's most important works, delivering most of his lessons in business and life, if you read carefully, the knowledge and wisdom you gain is life changing. I have created a separate document of notes from this book and it is 17 pages, and I refer to this frequently. One minor flaw is that the book hasn't been edited, it could benefit from more structure and presentation, but this is irrelevant in light of the book being a treasure trove of wisdom and useful techniques.

The best duo in modern times
If you want to learn from the best partnership in modern times, buy this book immediately. They are both billionaires, by the way.
