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.

Great Insight, needs reformatting.

Great Insight, with a great structure making it easy to understand and absorb detail, but the continuous referencing was frustrating, just add a PDF of references for people to download.

Concise and condensed wisdom

A really useful concise summary of a number of key elements of Charlie's approach to investing. Can be used as a basis for further learning.

Not very original

A lot of old quotes from AGM meetings, feels like the book can be condensed into a long article.

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 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.

Positively Mind Expanding

Refreshing to be so brilliantly challenged about how to think about a lot of things.

Entertaining enough, but somewhat shallow.

There's an aweful lot of aphorisms and anecdotes in this book, a lot of folksy wisdom, and a lot of homage to books subject, Charlie Munger. What there isn't, is much depth of analysis, if you're looking for that, I suggest you try one of the more heavy-weight books analyising Berkshire Hathaway, and Graham/Dodd value investing.

One of those books that makes you feel you're sort of working, but doesn't tax you overmuch. And some of Munger's pithier quotes may stick with you when you're making your investing decisions.

Narrator is fine.

Frustrating

Very frustrating to listen to. Much of the book is quotes from Munger and others and the reader has read the reference after each one. Some books dont work as audio books, this is an example.
