Compounding knowledge
The great thing about knowledge is that each additional layer adds up cumulatively. This knowledge can help to expand your horizons and grant you more insights into the world and how it affects our lives. By choosing a variety of topics, we also enrich our lives with a wealth of knowledge....Warren Buffett needs no introduction.
However, not many recognise Buffett’s billionaire business partner, Charlie Munger.
Munger, Vice Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, is also an avid investor and is known for his “latticework of mental models” concept to thinking, business, and decision-making.
By imbibing information from various disciplines such as business, physics, psychology, etc, we can better solve a problem that may stump someone with just a narrow focus on a single discipline.
A voracious reader himself, Munger recommends that you cultivate curiosity so that you “get a little wiser every day”.
Reading can help you to accumulate more knowledge and become a wiser person than you were yesterday.
