"I hate to leave a negative review for a book about" according to Jason M. Nista. Ugh. I hate to leave a negative review for a book about my hero but this book is just bad. Griffin didn't come up with any new or even original content, the book is made up mostly of quotes and paraphrases from other publications. For the novice investor, it may be a good intro but you'd be much better off reading Damn Right or Poor Charlie's Almanack.. I thought this was a great book. I have nothing to do with investing Austin Bravo I thought this was a great book. I have nothing to do with investing. I read the book purely to learn from Charlie Munger's most useful thinking and that's exactly what I got. I actually got annoyed with how often I had to pick up my pencil to underline things.I get what people are saying in other reviews about the author not adding much - but that's kind of the point of Munger's wisdom. Like how he says teachers. Collin S said He's not really a great writer. If you follow Tren on Twitter you. He's not really a great writer. If you follow Tren on Twitter you know the level of nuance that he will provide. I just thought the quality of the writing was OK. The information is great, though. There's helpful information here beyond the traditional value investing maxims that everyone knows about.
His notion of "elementary, worldly wisdom"a set of interdisciplinary mental models involving economics, business, psychology, ethics, and managementallows 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. 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. 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. It is about cultivating mental models for your whole life, but especially for your investments.. 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
His 'worldly wisdom'a latticework of understanding separate disciplinesis a powerful way to achieve superior investment results. Highly recommended. Combine his wisdom with Griffin's ability to synthesize thoughts and this book is truly a work of wisdom. Munger, Warren Buffet's investment expert. (Better Investing)Well-organized and thoughtful. (Morgan Housel, author of Everyone Believes It, Most Will Be Wrong: Motley Thoughts on Investing and the Economy)Griffin does an extraordinary job of curating, synthesizing, and organizing the vast wisdom Munger has left for humanity.
