About the Book
An international phenomenon, Richer, Wiser, Happier is being translated into 26 languages. It recently ranked #1 on a list of the “Top 100 Most Popular Investing Books,” based on thousands of Goodreads ratings.
In this landmark book, William Green draws on hundreds of hours of interviews that he’s conducted over the last quarter century with a pantheon of legendary investors. William, whose writing has appeared in Time, Fortune, Forbes, Barron’s, The Economist, and The New Yorker, interviewed more than forty super-investors for this book. Between them, the investment titans he spotlights have overseen trillions of dollars on behalf of millions of people. William invites us into the lives and minds of figures such as Charlie Munger, Ed Thorp, Sir John Templeton, Howard Marks, Joel Greenblatt, Laura Geritz, Nick Sleep, Bill Miller, and Mohnish Pabrai to reveal how they think and why they win.
The book sheds new light on two overarching questions: What principles, processes, insights, habits, and personality traits enable the most successful investors to beat the market in the long run and become spectacularly rich? More important, how can we profit by studying these financial outliers and reverse engineering their winning ways?
As William reveals, the greatest investors can teach us about much more than getting rich. They are pragmatic free thinkers who search for any insights that can give them an edge in markets and life. They borrow liberally from fields as diverse as neuroscience, economic history, psychology, philosophy, biology, sports, math, spirituality, and the science of habit formation. This book shows you how they achieve success by thinking rationally and systematically stacking the odds in their favor.

“William Green draws on history, philosophy, and spirituality to present a meditation on investing. Far more than a book about stock picking, Richer, Wiser, Happier is the enlightened investor’s guide to life.”
—Nina Munk, author of The Idealist
