Just be glad you're not Katie right now - she's been hearing me talk about this book non-stop. I'm going to apply Munger's inversion principle to ask not what makes an excellent book, but what ruins an excellent book? However, ther I'm going to apply Munger's inversion principle to ask not what makes an excellent book, but what ruins an excellent book?
However, there is no easy way to get through it - even if you try to skim through the initial fluff. Must read and must study book. A bible for deep analysis and wisdom of one who proved his superior intelligence in real world business investments and helped build one of the most profitable businesses in the world. But it is not just relevant for business objectives but for philosophical thinking and the deep understanding of things. So for all who love mental models, frameworks and behavioral phenomenons in general.
Dec 25, Seth rated it liked it. Definitely worth a flip through, but mostly just to read a few of Charlie's talks and his 40 page bit at the end on his psychological models. He's a wise, straightforward man, but not that good of a writer. To take his thinking to the next level, I recommend Thinking, Fast and Slow.

The best part was the introduction into 25 biases with a detailed description of some antidotes to errors of misjudgment and how to fix them. Munger writes about the importance of becoming a lifetime learner.
He gives a lot of advices on how to learn and the importance to create your own opinions an use them wisely. Without lifetime learning, he says: "you people are not going to do very well".
This isn't just a self help book, this is also a great business book with lessons you won't learn in school. The power of the opportunity costs, how to use incentives and decision making are the core parts of this book.
The last chapter is the best part. Munger talks about psychology, human errors and how to fix them. Here are some good advices: "ln my whole life, I have known no wise people over a broad subject matter area who didn't read all the time, none, zero.
You've got to hang reality on a theoretical structure with reasons. That's the way it hangs together in usable form so that you're an effective thinker" "I think when you're buying jewelry for the woman you love, financial considerations probably shouldn't enter into it.
Most people are trained in one model-economics, for example and try to solve all problems in one way. You know the old saying: 'To the man with a hammer, the world looks like a nail. I feel that I'm not entitled to have an opinion unless I can state the arguments against my position better than the people who are in opposition. I think that I am qualified to speak only when I've reached that state.
Also, incentives are superpowers. You've got to learn everything they teach. But you've got to learn a lot more that they don't teach because they don't handle their own subjects corectly " "If something is very important but can't be perfectly and precisely demonstrated because of ethical constraints, you can't just meant it like it doesn't exist.
You've made an enormous commitment to something. You've poured effort and money in. And the more you put in, the more that the whole consistency principle makes you think, "Now it has to work. If I put in just a little more, then it'll work.
If losses are going to make you miserable-and some losses are inevitable-you might be wise to utilize a very conservative pattern of investment and saving all your life" Sep 09, Alexej Gerstmaier rated it it was amazing. Excellent windsom. I've generated pages of notes from this book, it's worth it's weight in gold at least. A must-read Excellent windsom. A must-read May 29, Vikrama Dhiman rated it really liked it.
Torn between 3 and 4, but giving a generous 3. Maybe I read the book a little later than I should have. There are excellent quotes through out the book. Some of the advise is timeless and useful. However, I have 2 main issues with the book: - It repeats the theme again and again without using enough examples that bring out the theory - The book can't decide between being a eulogy to one of the greats of the last century or investigating his methods Having said that, I'd still recommend you check th Torn between 3 and 4, but giving a generous 3.

This is a compilation of Munger's addresses, comments at investors' meetings, and personal comments from friends, business associates, and his family, interlarded with quotations Charlie used from ancients and moderns extracted from over two thousand years of wisdom and errors. Munger admires most highly Ben Franklin - an ideal to Munger. The format and size make this book very unusual - very heavy to read, requiring a table or pillow on which to rest this tome.

The design is good, with lots of illustrations which support points on every page. It makes for an easy quick read, thought provoking - though some financial terms and business school methods are esoteric and therefore far beyond those who are not in the investment business.
I read this partly because of my knowledge of Nancy Munger, once on the Stanford Library Visiting committee. And partly because I thought there may be a word or phrase which related to my own business experiences over 50 years, instances and style and standards which might reverberate in a book of my own learning experiences as a university librarian.
I'll give to son Chris the copy I purchased, sales profits of which benefit the Huntington Library. Nov 14, Nicholas Teague rated it it was amazing. While reading through these talks I kept seeing Munger refer back to psychological factors and psychological checklists. He talked of his personal studies into psychology and how valuable it has been in his decision-making.
And i grew frustrated because in all of the Munger book recommendation blog posts I found online, there was very little in the way of psychology. And then I got to the 11th final talk in this book and found why. Munger was so dissatisfied with psychology reference texts tha While reading through these talks I kept seeing Munger refer back to psychological factors and psychological checklists. Munger was so dissatisfied with psychology reference texts that in his final talk he basically wrote one of his own.
And if you can only read one essay in this book this should be the one. Munger goes through a list of common thinking tendencies that in isolation or in conjunction are responsible for all kinds of errors of misjudgment. Each of these thought heuristics are results of evolution and in general can be useful, but they also can lead to errors and bad decisions. This is the kind of essay that it is worth to re-read prior to every big decision one faces, and I definitely intent to revisit!
Buffett - the abominable no man. The book is a collection of Mr. I have found Chapter or Lecture Ten regarding the psychology of human misjudgment extremely useful in analyzing both company leaders and the behavior of stock market participants I would highly recommend this reading for anyone who wants to get the most out of life, as well as gain a perspective on how his investment philosophy. Munger shares with us his wisdom and expound them with great examples.
The first part consists of Munger's life stories, as well as what close friends and family say about Munger. The second part consists of mainly the speeches that Munger has made, which I think can be easily found elsewhere online.
So for those who can't manage to get the book I would highly recommend this reading for anyone who wants to get the most out of life, as well as gain a perspective on how his investment philosophy. So for those who can't manage to get the book I almost couldn't please google and read them. All text is legible.
