查理·芒格的66条智慧箴言
摘要:从思维与方法、认知与学习、工作与机遇三个方面领略查理·芒格的人生智慧。
“反过来想,总是反过来想”
——查理·芒格推崇的逆向思维
导语:AI时代,浅阅读甚至浅思考开始成为一种时代症候。
当短视频、图片阅读更多刺激人们的多巴胺分泌,有深度和难度的素材越来越难以出现公众的视域和平台上,而Agent生成内容的便利则进一步让人放弃了深度思考。
这也是流量导向的经验,个人咏叹和思考既不关乎社会议题,又显得局促和造作。
而恰是那些简单好读不烧脑的金句式文章,霸占了绝大多数阅读量。
因而,当我们被格言体所说服和获得启发时,更需要常保持一颗批判和理性的心。
抛开以上提醒,本文从《穷查理宝典》、《芒格之道》及其他演讲中,摘取了66条美国著名投资人、巴菲特的黄金搭档——查理·芒格的个人思考:
