I went to his 99th birthday party last year, actually, before he passed.
In fact, the person I'm closer with is Peter Kaufman, who's the author of Poor Charlie's Almanac.

And when I lived in China, I got a copy of that book.
And really, it's like a coffee tip.
Stripe just re-released a copy of it.
It's now available in print again.
It used to be kind of out of print.
And I had that book, and I loved it.
It really inspired me.
Munger has this really wonderful essay, which I actually discovered on the Y Combinator website, called The Art of Worldly Wisdom or something to that effect.
If you Google Munger Worldly Wisdom, you'll find it.
And it's a speech that he gave at USC.
It's like a graduation speech.
We'll link to it in the show notes.
