Publisher's summary

Words of wisdom from Charlie Munger - Warren Buffett's longtime business partner and the visionary Vice Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway - collected and interpreted with an eye towards investing by David Clark, coauthor of the best-selling Buffettology series.

Born in Omaha, Nebraska in 1924 Charlie Munger studied mathematics at the University of Michigan, trained as a meteorologist at Cal Tech Pasadena while in the Army, and graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School without ever earning an undergraduate degree. Today, Munger is one of America's most successful investors, the Vice Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, and Warren Buffett's business partner for almost 40 years. Buffett says "Berkshire has been built to Charlie's blueprint. My role has been that of general contractor." Munger is an intelligent, opinionated business man whose ideas can teach professional and amateur investors how to be successful in finance and life.

Like The Tao of Warren Buffett and The Tao of Te Ching, The Tao of Charlie Munger is a compendium of pithy quotes including, "Knowing what you don't know is more useful than being brilliant" and "In my whole life, I have known no wise people who didn't read all the time - none, zero." This collection, culled from interviews, speeches, and questions and answers at the Berkshire Hathaway and Wesco annual meetings, offers insights into Munger's amazing financial success and life philosophies. Described by Business Insider as "sharp in his wit and investing wisdom," Charlie Munger's investment tips, business philosophy, and rules for living are as unique as his life story; intelligent as he clearly is; and as successful as he has been.

Abundance of wisdom

I Enjoyed every chapter. It’s a list of proverbs by Charlie Monger and explained by the author. I’m guessing that it is a life time collection of experience based quotes that Charlie composed. Some of which he gathered from sources during his enormous amount of reading that he practices continually.

All the simple wisdom

It was simple to understand once you have some working knowledge of investing. Have an open mind and be willing to understand things from Charlie's perspective.

informative and thought provoking

Great listen. I feel like there is much one can take away from thos listen that will positively impact their lives going forward.

There is one aspect about the Audiobook I feel conflicted about. Each chapter seems to be written in such a way that it can be read independent from the rest of the book. This results in some thoughts and stories being repeated numerous times. This isn't all bad though, because it does help reinforce the core messages from different perspectives but some times it's just purely repetitive.

I did enjoy it, but I feel it was designed more to be a coffee table book and the print version would probably be better to own than the Audiobook.
