This book is a focused look into this amazing invention within "Behavioral Finance." The genius of Buffett and Munger's parsimonious four filters process was to "capture all the important stakeholders" in a "multi-variable" equation or formula.

The book can be used as a supplemental textbook in a Valuation or Decision Sciences course.
