Summary

Charlie Munger, Berkshire Hathaway's visionary vice chairman and Warren Buffett's indispensable financial partner, has outperformed market indexes again and again, and he believes any investor can do the same. His notion of "elementary, worldly wisdom" - a set of interdisciplinary mental models involving economics, business, psychology, ethics, and management - allows him to keep his emotions out of his investments and avoid the common pitfalls of bad judgment.

Munger's system has steered his investments for 40 years and has guided generations of successful investors. This book presents the essential steps of Munger's investing strategy, condensed here for the first time from interviews, speeches, writings, and shareholder letters, and paired with commentary from fund managers, value investors, and business-case historians. Derived from Ben Graham's value-investing system, Munger's approach is straightforward enough that ordinary investors can apply it to their portfolios. This book is not simply about investing. It is about cultivating mental models for your whole life, but especially for your investments.

An ok book - perhaps better to read.

The content of the book is good and the messages being delivered behind the content is very important. But quite frankly, to hear the constant delivery of quotations of various people ('blah blah blah.' Charlie Munger. US Business School. 1998.) gets pretty tiresome after a couple of chapters. Also, I wasn't too keen on the delivery - very dry and almost robotic - which exacerbates my dislike of the constant quotes. Just because a book is about business and investing, doesn't mean it can't be delivered without any enthusiasm! In my opinion, one might be better off reading this in book format.

An excellent book.

Absolutely love it. Very straightforward and clear message to anyone related to all aspects of the way Mr Munger thinks and invests. A great job from the author

Good collection of quotes from Charlie Munger

Good collection of quotes from Charlie Munger. The writer fails to bring these quotes together in a cohesive manner though. Narration is somewhat irritating, mainly because of several quotations.

Interesting but...

Lesser known personality and thus highly interesting to investigate in that he is an important influence yet less visible in the success of Berkshire Hatthaway. However the book is so admirative of Mr Munger that it makes for a very complaisant review. The sequence of quotes from Mr Munger appears to seek to spell genius at every corner yet the reality is surely more complex.

“Always take the high road, it’s far less crowded.

“In my whole life, I have known no wise people who didn’t read all the time – none, zero.” Charlie Munger

The most valuable asset that a person holds is their mindset.

Charlie Munger is a worldly wise individual with the curiosity to learn and grow everyday. He is reflective and uses his mistakes as a foundation to learn and improve.

Charlie places much importance on reading and learning as does Warren Buffett. This book takes us on a journey through the mindset and perspective of one of the richest men in the world.

Charlie, Charlie, Charlie! What a guy!

Awful audio

I’m a massive Charlie Munger fan but this audio is done so badly. The constant citing of references makes it flow badly.


I gave up after two hours. It might read better than it sounds.

Good book

Good book.
The only thing I disliked was the constant recalling of quotes to time and place which was distracting for me and unnecessary.
