In *Richer, Wiser, Happier*, William Green pulls back the curtain on the minds of legendary investors like Monish Pabrai, John Templeton, and Howard Marks, revealing that lasting financial success isn’t about flashy innovation or market timing—it’s about mastering timeless principles. Through gripping real-life stories, Green breaks down how these pros built their fortunes by emulating proven wisdom (not reinventing the wheel), embracing contrarian thinking to buy when others panic, and prioritizing long-term value over short-term gains. But the book goes beyond investing: it explores how these same principles—discipline, emotional control, delayed gratification—translate to a fulfilling life. From Pabrai’s radical honesty during market crashes to Templeton’s unshakable faith guiding his bold bets, and from Bezos’ obsession with long-term cash flow to Arnold Van den Berg’s commitment to using wealth for good, Green shows that true richness combines financial security, clear judgment, and a life rooted in purpose.
