The Tao of Charlie Munger
Munger's lines on investing, business and living, gathered into one place
David Clark collected Charlie Munger's remarks from decades of meetings, letters and interviews, then added a short commentary to each. People quote Munger constantly, but the lines sit scattered across sources, so the book's job is to gather them in one place. No argument runs through it. It works as a reference to open at random rather than a book to read straight through.

Reached for it off the shelf beside him when Tim Ferriss asked for a book that did not involve mass death. Munger is among the most quoted people ever, he says, and no other collection he has seen distills the best of him this well. His suggestion is to reread it once a year.
