About this listen

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.

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.

Entertaining enough, but somewhat shallow.

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.
