Synopsis

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 forty 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.

After reading it you will understand that Buffet and Charlie didn’t have a model for investing......more

Goodreads review by Petr on October 27, 2017

The content is 5*, however, it's not very original, thus 2*. This book is a collection of Munger's and Buffet's quotes (probably even citing Buffet more often than Munger), which the author uses to explain their life philosophy and the principles of value investing. If you, by reading the title, think......more

Goodreads review by Michael on October 08, 2015

This book is carried not by the author or writing style, but earns 4 solid stars for the wisdom of Charlie Munger that reverberates beyond the syntax of the prose. Charlie's maxims echo the wisdom of Ben Franklin on how to achieve success through integrity, reputation, thrift, hard-work, constant le......more

Goodreads review by InvestingByTheBooks.com on August 20, 2018

This might very well be the best over-hyped book I have ever read. Already a year before actual publication rumors began to swirl around the book - fully understandable given the intriguing combo of our time’s most mythical investor and a hugely successful writer with an ardent following in the inve......more

Goodreads review by Scott on August 23, 2015

Griffin's book highlights the investing style of Charlie Munger - and, to a lesser extent, Warren Buffett. He uses lots and lots of quotes to illustrate his points - at first they're interesting and useful but, after a while, they're much less so. His two chapters at the end about the Graham style an......more
