Similar to Charles P’s review below, I am almost ashamed it took me so long to discover this book. Page for page, it is one of the most densely insightful books I have ever read; and it’s essentially a distillation of wisdom and knowledge from some of history’s greatest minds into a single book. There’s a great quote by Johnny Uzan where he said, “A great book takes years to write but only hours to read. The reader nets the difference.” The net wisdom/knowledge benefit from this book makes it worth exponentially more than its purchase price, and I recommend it anytime anyone asks me the question, “What are your favorite books?” You will be a better and wiser person for having read this special book. Guaranteed.

追求智慧: 从达尔文到穆格,版次三 第三 版本

抱歉,加载此页时出现问题。请重试。
Peter Bevelin 以孔子的伟大智慧作为他精彩书籍的开篇语: “过而不改,是谓过矣”。 《追求智慧》这本书是 Bevelin 学习如何获得智慧的结果。 他追求智慧的部分原因在于自己犯错然后观察其他人的犯错的情况,而且也源于超棒投资者和美国伯克希尔·哈撒韦保险公司副董事长穆格的理念。 穆格是一个有着简单明了思路的男人,他的想法与 Bevelin 所看到的任何东西都不相等。 除了自然主义者查尔斯·达尔文和穆格外,Bevelin 还引用了各种思想家的言论:从公元前一世纪罗马诗人泰伦斯到马克·吐温,从爱因斯坦到费曼,从 16 世纪法国散文家蒙田到美国伯克希尔哈撒韦保险公司董事长巴菲特。 在书中, 他介绍了许多不同领域的想法和研究结果 。 本书适合喜欢不断搜索知识的人。 这正是查理·穆格的精神,他说“我只想知道自己将会死去的地点,这样我永远都不会往哪里去”。 这个世界上存在着导致不幸的道路。 了解如何“死去”以及原因能帮助我们避免死去。 我们不能消除错误,但可以防止犯下会真正伤害到我们的错误。 通过运用清晰思考和获得智慧的典范,Bevelin 聚焦于研究思维是如何受到影响的,做出错误判断的原因,以及可改善思考方式的工具。 Bevelin 如是处理以下永恒问题: 我们为什么这样行事? 我们想从生活中获得些什么? 有哪些因素干扰我们达成目标? 阅读并研究对智慧的神奇多学科探索。 可能会改变你对工作和生活的想法 。

2014年1月3日在美国发布评论格式: 精装已确认购买I give this book 5 stars not because this is one of the best books I have read but because this is one of the best summary of ideas I ingested in last 2 years. I don't know how a casual reader with no prior exposure to topics covered in the book would ingest the densely packed material but if you are an ardent reader in topics such as decision science, finance and probability this book is nothing but a collection of ideas from these areas. If you have read 'Thinking, Fast and Slow', 50% of seeking wisdom would be redundant for you. If you have read 'The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives' another 25% of the material in the book would be redundant. If you have taken a Master's level course in finance & investing or have worked in financial markets, another 15% of the material would be redundant for you. In rare cases, if you have read books such as 'The Mind of the Market: Compassionate Apes, Competitive Humans, and Other Tales from Evolutionary Economics' and 'The Flaw of Averages: Why We Underestimate Risk in the Face of Uncertainty', whatever 10% stuff is left in the book would be repetitive. If you have read all the stuff mentioned above, this book is a good refresher of important concepts. If you haven't read the books mentioned above, this book may be nothing more than a text scratching the surface of tons of concepts. On that note, the book somehow is self contradictory where it talks about seeking wisdom but does exactly what prevents us from seeking it, i.e. shallow reading.

2013年12月18日在美国发布评论格式: 精装已确认购买Although I write about "Life", it took a lot of convincing by the Farnam Street Blog to convince me to buy it at that price.
But it is worth far, far, far more than the relatively miniscule price - and it is worth reading many times.
And it is worth implementing into your life - for what value is reading other than to create value itself! The value that can be derived from this book will, in my opinion, be beyond that of at least most of the books you've read - combined.
It has so much great content that I made a page on my key website (in the search engine next week) so that I could derive all the value out of it for myself, and hopefully help a few others along the way (which is the purpose of the site).
And, yes, it has some rather deep and analytical parts to it that take some concentration and attention. Those might be skipped on the initial reading, but I would recommend going back and reading them - and converting them (if they seem to be about investing or other seeming "non-life" topics) into truths about life.
Buy it. Read it. You will never regret buying it.
And you'll be able to get so much out of it for your own life, along with the great value you will undoubtedly give to others from how you live your life and what you share.

2015年1月4日在美国发布评论格式: 精装已确认购买As Charlie Munger (Partner to Warren Buffett & Vice Chairman – Berkshire Hathaway) says ‘All I want to know is where I am going to die, so I’ll never go there’. This book ‘Seeking Wisdom’ is in search of this wisdom. Peter Bevelin has written a mind blowing book on how to avoid the roads that lead to unhappiness. At its core this book focuses on why we make misjudgements and how we can avoid them by thinking better and more importantly rationally.
Peter Bevelin has read extensively on variety of disciplines and this book is a culmination of what he has learned all these years by reading the best minds. The book is so rich that it should be included in the school curricula. What a head start it would be for a teenager to learn all these wisdom!! The bibliography is very rich as well.
Do yourself a favour; read this book and have everyone in your family read it as well.

2009年7月14日在美国发布评论格式: 精装已确认购买I found this book to be a collection of writings confirming many things I believed via intuition and introductions to rather practical advice (when considering the "first principles"-nature of content) about leading a fulfilling life. I was fortunate enough to be introduced to this book by a fellow investor who works at another successful hedge fund where this book is at the top of their recommended reading. I've recommended this to my siblings and mentees.
I would forewarn you that this is more of an overview, or loosely an anthology, regarding "common sense" philosophy in the vein of William James or Thomas Reid. So, if you are not already familiar with some of the concepts or topics, further study is recommended. As Lord Macaulay said regarding "half-knowledge", "Drink deep or taste not; shallow draughts intoxicate: drink largely; and that will sober you."

Antonino2018年9月10日在意大利发布评论5.0 颗星,最多 5 颗星 Libro molto interessante
格式: 精装已确认购买Un libro che anche con esempi pratici racconta come le persone si comportano in relazione a ciò che credono di sapere. Utile da leggere e approfondire per chi vuole imparare a pensare senza essere influenzato da credenze limitanti. Raggiungerò la saggezza suprema? Non lo so, ma credo che questo libro mi aiuterà ad avere una forma mentis più equilibrata. Lo sto leggendo anche per migliorare l'inglese. Arrivato in ottime condizioni

Laci2019年6月20日在英国发布评论5.0 颗星,最多 5 颗星 Quality information, but a bit short
格式: 精装已确认购买The theme of the book is making decisions. Why people make mistakes and how to make better decisions and more accurate predictions. Most examples are investment related.
It appears to be a good overview on decision making. That is pretty much all of the sections are both true and insightful. However it could have been organised a bit better, some sections could be next to each other or under the same heading, also some content seems to be in the wrong section. It appears the author focused only on ideas he knows to be useful and he understands. (Meaning the contents are true, but incomplete)
The problem with the book is that it's too short. It seems each section is just quickly describing an idea with 0 - 2 examples before the next one starts. The problem is, that with so few examples and quick description, you will not understand the concepts if they are new to you and you can't find more real life examples yourself. It is exacerbated by the large number of quotes used (which take up much of the space). I think it should be 2-3x longer to better explain each concept.

Unsatisfied Customer2025年4月22日在加拿大发布评论5.0 颗星,最多 5 颗星 Helpful Summary of Key Insights
格式: 精装已确认购买Great concept to distill some of the insights from the greatest minds. I read this after I was familiar with philosophy, and had had several self improvement/knowledge books under my belt and found this book was a wonderful summary with great quotes to draw from and marinade on. This book took me awhile to read because I put it down every few pages to jot down some notes. Dense and approachable. I’d recommend.
