by Charles T. Munger
Charles Munger, investor, businessman, philanthropist, and long-time partner of Warren Buffet is one half of the power duo that turned Berkshire Hathaway into one of the largest diversified holding companies in the world. In 1986, he delivered this speech to the Harvard School as one of the oldest and longest serving trustees on the school’s board. Turning traditional commencement speech wisdom on its head, “How To Guarantee A Life of Misery” offers seven prescriptions for living a miserable life. Epitomizing Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi’s wisdom of “invert, always invert,” Munger’s speech on what not to do remains relevant and compelling regardless of your graduation year.
Charles T. Munger was a businessman and philanthropist best known as the longtime vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway and the close business partner of Warren Buffett.
