William Green

From a renowned financial journalist who has written for Time, Fortune, Forbes, and The New Yorker, a fresh and unexpectedly profound book that draws on hundreds of hours of exclusive interviews with many of the world’s super-investors to demonstrate that the keys for building wealth hold other life lessons as well. Billionaire investors. If we think of them, it’s with a mixture of awe and suspicion. Clearly, they possess a kind of genius—the proverbial Midas Touch. But are the skills they possess transferable? And do they have anything to teach us besides making money? In Richer, Wiser, Happier, William Green draws on interviews that he’s conducted over twenty-five years with many of the world’s greatest investors. As he discovered, their talents extend well beyond the financial realm. The most successful investors are mavericks and iconoclasts who question conventional wisdom and profit vastly from their ability to think more rationally, rigorously, and objectively. They are master game players who consciously maximize their odds of long-term success in markets and life, while also minimizing any risk of catastrophe. They draw powerful insights from many different fields, are remarkably intuitive about trends, practice fanatical discipline, and have developed a high tolerance for pain. As Green explains, the best investors can teach us not only how to become rich, but how to improve the way we think, reach decisions, assess risk, avoid costly errors, build resilience, and turn uncertainty to our advantage. Green ushers us into the lives of more than forty super-investors, visiting them in their offices, homes, and even their places of worship—all to share what they have to teach us. Richer, Wiser, Happier brings together the thinking of many of the greatest investment minds, from Sir John Templeton to Charlie Munger, Jack Bogle to Ed Thorp, Will Danoff to Mohnish Pabrai, Bill Miller to Laura Geritz, Joel Greenblatt to Howard Marks. In explaining how they think and why they win, this landmark book provides gems of insight that will enrich you not only financially but also professionally and personally.

During the first chaotic months after the fall of the Third Reich, the RAE sent test pilots throughout the British Zone of Occupation to collect examples of the Luftwaffe's standard aircraft and then ferry them to Farnborough. Captain Eric Brown was a pilot in this ferrying operation. Here Brown delivers a detailed assessment of the characteristics of these principal German aircraft: Fw200C; Heinkel He162; Junkers Ju87; Dornier Do217; Messerschmitt Me262, Bf109G, Bf110, Me163, and several others.

(Applause Books). Boisterous and unrestrained like the age itself, the Elizabethan theatre has long defended its place at the apex of English dramatic history. Shakespeare was but the brightest star in this extraordinary galaxy of playwrights. The stage boasted a rich and varied repertoire from courtly and romantic comedy to domestic and high tragedy, melodrama, farce, and histories. The Gassner-Green anthology revives the whole range of this universal stage, offering us the unbounded theatrical inventiveness of the age. Elizabethan Drama is designed to provide the modern reader with complete access to the plays, as well as the beguiling Elizabethan world which was their backdrop. John Gassner's classic introduction is supplemented by his and William Green's superb prefaces to the individual plays. Marginal glosses and footnotes throughout keep the immediacy of the Elizabethan stage within easy reach.

Wie wird man reicher, weiser und vor allem glücklicher? Und wer kann darauf eine Antwort geben? Der renommierte Finanzjournalist William Green hat für Über die Kunst, reicher, weiser und glücklicher zu sein Hunderte von Stunden exklusiver Interviews mit mehr als 40 der reichsten Investoren der Welt geführt. Das Ergebnis ist ein einmaliges und gleichsam tiefgründiges Werk, das zeigt, welche Eigenschaften und Fähigkeiten nötig sind, um im Leben erfolgreich zu sein. Die größten Investoren sind Außenseiter und Individualisten, die überlieferte Weisheiten infrage stellen und deren Erfolg in hohem Maße auf ihrer Fähigkeit beruht, rationaler, strenger und objektiver zu denken. Sie sind Meister darin, ihre Chancen auf langfristigen Erfolg an den Märkten und im Leben bewusst zu maximieren und gleichzeitig das Risiko von Katastrophen zu minimieren. Sie ziehen tiefe Erkenntnisse aus den unterschiedlichsten Bereichen, haben ein bemerkenswertes Gespür für Trends, üben sich in asketischer Disziplin und haben eine hohe Toleranz für Schmerzen. Aber sind diese Fähigkeiten übertragbar? Und haben sie uns außer dem Geldverdienen noch etwas beizubringen? Green zeigt, dass die besten Investoren uns nicht nur lehren, wie wir reich werden können, sondern auch, wie wir unsere Fähigkeit verbessern, Entscheidungen zu treffen, Risiken einzuschätzen, kostspielige Fehler zu vermeiden, Widerstandsfähigkeit aufzubauen und Unsicherheit zu unserem Vorteil zu nutzen. Lernen Sie die Denkweise vieler der größten Anlageexperten kennen, von Sir John Templeton bis zu Buffetts Vize Charlie Munger, von ETF-Erfinder Jack Bogle bis zum Mathematik-Professor Ed Thorp, von Will Danoff bis zum indischen Value-Investment-Guru Mohnish Pabrai, von Bill Miller bis Laura Geritz, die in Unternehmen in der ganzen Welt investiert, von Joel Greenblatt, dem Gründer von Gotham Capital, bis hin zu Howard Marks, dessen Shareholder-Letters selbst Warren Buffett nie verpasst. Dieses Buch erklärt, wie sie denken, warum sie erfolgreich sind, und liefert damit wertvolle Erkenntnisse, die Sie nicht nur finanziell, sondern auch beruflich und persönlich bereichern werden.
