><i>If one of the wisest minds fell prey to the trap of more what chance do we mere mortals have? None, obviously. If the question is: How much money do you need to be happy? The answer is always going to be: More. I’ve come around to the idea that this answer is fine as long as you recognize it’s the human condition.

They're not married to their businesses, for some it was just a vehicle to get comfortambly rich, nor are they always seeking more wealth, Succession-style.<p>It's also more of a cultural thing, more common in Europe for example than in the US, where your whole identify is tied to your business, and hustle is considered a term of endearment.<p>Also, I'd like to note that no cultures of yore (and not many current ones, outside the US) would call Charlie Munger "wise". "A great business, investor, and financier", yes.
