William green is the author of richer, wiser, happier. He talks to Jim O'Haughnessy about how one goes on to succeed and how many can go on to fail in investing. Willliam: I've always had a secret obsession with journalists who write about invest. And so i think if you're deeply interested and intensely care about your work, it shows. So when i went off and interviewed famous investors, i was really looking to figure out what they could teach me. It's given me an ability to live my life in a way that i probably couldn't have done if i were just a poor, ink-stained wretch.
