Poor Charlie's Almanack

Charles T. Munger

A collected volume of Munger's talks on mental models and multidisciplinary judgment. Its treatment of inversion (Jacobi's maxim to invert, always invert) gives the book its method for designing behavior by first asking what would guarantee failure. Book 1 draws on it in Chapter 8.
