Why are there so many typos in this book？ Is it just my print？

The book shows some light into Charlie Munger's mind and wisdom。 He shares his core values and thoughts of leading a better life。 He explains the importance of having a multi-dimensional perspective of disciplines to solve problems in this complex world。 He also explains the importance of becoming a learning machine to become successful in this ever changing world。 His example of solving a Coca-Cola problem will blow your mind。 The psychology of misjustments chapter will give an idea of what he The book shows some light into Charlie Munger's mind and wisdom。 He shares his core values and thoughts of leading a better life。 He explains the importance of having a multi-dimensional perspective of disciplines to solve problems in this complex world。 He also explains the importance of becoming a learning machine to become successful in this ever changing world。 His example of solving a Coca-Cola problem will blow your mind。 The psychology of misjustments chapter will give an idea of what he tries to avoid/takes note in approaching problems。 The book needs to be read more than once to get a complete understanding of his wisdom！ 。。。more

Very good compendium of presentations by this Charles。It gives a very interesting perspective of so many things that are mixed with finances and investments， from psychology， understanding， education and much， much common sense。A bit of a long reading but it is well worth it and ends up being entertaining even though it sometimes uses somewhat elaborate terms。

I have always thought， that specialization is the key to mastery。 After reading Charlie’s Almanack， i realized that i am chasing after the wrong things。 This book is not just an autobiography， it is also an investment， history and most of its part， a self-help book。 This book is definitely worth rereading。 Favorite takeaways:- Prescription to misery: to learn everything you possibly can from your own mistake- Don‘t learn with great rapidity。 The game is to keep learning。- The iron rule of life i I have always thought， that specialization is the key to mastery。 After reading Charlie’s Almanack， i realized that i am chasing after the wrong things。 This book is not just an autobiography， it is also an investment， history and most of its part， a self-help book。 This book is definitely worth rereading。 Favorite takeaways:- Prescription to misery: to learn everything you possibly can from your own mistake- Don‘t learn with great rapidity。 The game is to keep learning。- The iron rule of life is that only 20% of the people can be in the top fifth。- Succeeding by making the world easy for ourselves， not by solving hard problems- Everything should be made as simple as possible， but no more simple。- Take a simple idea and take it very seriously- learn it all to fluency， like it or not- 25 tendencies of human misjudgement 。。。more

Third edition。 I really liked Charlie's humour。 As much as he claims to be a businessman， the last talk was actually quite academic。 Unintended I'm sure， but still。 I need to get on his level！ Hope he stays around for at least another decade。 Third edition。 I really liked Charlie's humour。 As much as he claims to be a businessman， the last talk was actually quite academic。 Unintended I'm sure， but still。 I need to get on his level！ Hope he stays around for at least another decade。 。。。more

My third time reading this book。 Still found something new。 I’m intended to read it at least once a year for the next 3 years。 Basically Charlie just briefly touch on the tip of an iceberg in every speech。 The rest of the icebergs requires us to explore independently。 Charlie just showed us the rabbit hole unfortunately。

Poor Charlie's Almanack is modeled after Ben Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanack; a collection of history， talks and wisdom of Charlie Munger， Warren Buffet's #2 man at Berkshire Hathaway。 I really enjoyed all of the content。 There is some history， some content around Charlie's decision-making framework， a bunch of random "Mungerisms" （Charlie quotes）， and transcripts of eleven talks he's given to different audiences， reproduced with a brief， updated reflection after each。 Charlie is erudite; sel Poor Charlie's Almanack is modeled after Ben Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanack; a collection of history， talks and wisdom of Charlie Munger， Warren Buffet's #2 man at Berkshire Hathaway。 I really enjoyed all of the content。 There is some history， some content around Charlie's decision-making framework， a bunch of random "Mungerisms" （Charlie quotes）， and transcripts of eleven talks he's given to different audiences， reproduced with a brief， updated reflection after each。 Charlie is erudite; self-taught across many disciplines and able to synthesize insights across disciplines， time and history。 It's not a book about investing or finance， it's more about ethics， morality， human psychology， general business， sound judgement， and history。 Some of Charlie's collected quotes I am going to take away: - "What you measure is what you get" - Jack Welch of GE - "If you were to persuade， appeal to to interest and not to reason" - Ben Franklin。 - The iron rule of communication from Carl （C。F。） Braun， who built over 250 petrochemical plants: If you're issuing a directive， you must specify Who is going to do What， When， Where and most importantly Why。 Apparently not including the Why was a fireable offence。 I think we can all agree that when the "Why" is missing from company/organization policies， instructions from your boss， or requests from a colleague， it is very frustrating。 This is a big coffee table hardcover; about 12" by 12" and maybe 1。5" thick。 A big monster。 I have to credit this book with opening up a new reading style for me。 It turns out a coffee table book is perfect to read at the table over one's morning coffee or solo meals， as it holds itself open to the right page。 So I'm looking forward to tackling at least 2 more large coffee table books in my collection that I've only flipped through but never read。 Two minor complaints。 One， all core content on each page was framed by sidebars of random facts and trivia collected by the editor。 While interesting， trying to take in all this errata interrupted the flow of reading the talks （which read well as essays）。 Two， the editor takes key sentences in the middle of a talk/essay， and reproduces them in the middle of that essay in a larger font and bolded （you know what I mean， like a magazine article？）。 My complaint， and maybe I am just not reading carefully enough， is that SOMETIMES this impact text appeared in the talk and was redundant， and SOMETIMES it did not appear in the talk， and was part of the talk's flow。 So again: interrupting the flow of the key content。 This book hit my radar because it was one of Neil Pasricha's top 20 reads of 2020 （great monthly email newsletter about books）。 I suspect Neil got the recommendation from Shane Parrish when Neil was a guest on the Knowledge Project podcast in mid-2020， as Shane is a Munger super-fan。 I have a copy of this huge， relatively rare/obscure coffee table book available to lend out if my Saskatoon friends are curious。 If you think you might like it you probably will， but I think the 4。51 rating is over-inflated。 。。。more

This book provides an excellent insight into human psychology in a series of talks Charlie Munger gave over the years。 The psychological traits are described in a coherent manner with good examples。 The last chapter summarises the main points made in the book。The only slight downside about this book is that it is that if the reader does not read the book properly they may be unable to fully understand the important points outlined， and the explanations about some points may seem convoluted。The a This book provides an excellent insight into human psychology in a series of talks Charlie Munger gave over the years。 The psychological traits are described in a coherent manner with good examples。 The last chapter summarises the main points made in the book。The only slight downside about this book is that it is that if the reader does not read the book properly they may be unable to fully understand the important points outlined， and the explanations about some points may seem convoluted。The author has done his best to keep the contents as coherent and succinct as possible， which was not an easy task。The 3 most important lessons are;1。 Keep learning and acknowledge weaknesses2。 Learn from a wide variety of disciplines， and3。 Look at problems from multiple angles in order to work out the best solution to solve them。I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in improving their life skills， psychological understanding and wisdom。 。。。more

The editor did a horrible job with this book。 Most books are unnecessarily long， but this one was the biggest waste ever。 Instead of adding 10 speeches， he could just distill it to some condensed takeaways。 Many speeches were overlapping over and over again。 Simply don’t get how this book has so many good reviews。 Not disagreeing with the wisdom inside。 Just not a good in my opinion

I had tried to read this book five years ago but couldn't understand a word。 This year， I decided to give it another try。 I was amazed that I couldn't even put the book down this time。 The book is full of wisdom from Charles Munger。 It helps me understand the philosophy behind Berkshire Hathaway。 I'm wondering if it's because I started investing or purely because I have grown a few years wiser。From the collection of Munger's speeches， it allows us to peak at his wisdom and learn from them。 Here I had tried to read this book five years ago but couldn't understand a word。 This year， I decided to give it another try。 I was amazed that I couldn't even put the book down this time。 The book is full of wisdom from Charles Munger。 It helps me understand the philosophy behind Berkshire Hathaway。 I'm wondering if it's because I started investing or purely because I have grown a few years wiser。From the collection of Munger's speeches， it allows us to peak at his wisdom and learn from them。 Here are a few of my key takeaways:1） never stop learning: lifelong learning2） grow multidisciplinary approach and gain practice based influency: Munger mentioned a few key disciplines to help us understand the reality in a thorough way。 Psychology is one of the mostly mentioned disciplines。3） think backwards4） establish a checklist for your mental model 。。。more

Maybe the expectations for this book were too high， and as a result， the book did not correspond to what I expected。 I heard quite a lot about this book！ It's one of those that you can't get easier， and I had to buy it from USA since it is not sold in Europe。 So。。。 when I started to read it， I was like: is this it？！ The structure of the book isn't that good （when in comparison to what is done nowadays） and the info on it is nothing more than some boring stories/advice that some people got from C Maybe the expectations for this book were too high， and as a result， the book did not correspond to what I expected。 I heard quite a lot about this book！ It's one of those that you can't get easier， and I had to buy it from USA since it is not sold in Europe。 So。。。 when I started to read it， I was like: is this it？！ The structure of the book isn't that good （when in comparison to what is done nowadays） and the info on it is nothing more than some boring stories/advice that some people got from Charles T。 Munger。 Now， most of what you will read here， you have heard or read somewhere else - this of course， if you know/follow Charles T。 Munger。 What is in the book is good advice of course。 Look at how successful he is。 What is not good is the way it is presented （A LOT OF UNNECESSARY DETAILS） and the fact that you can listen to most of what you read here。I read half of it and I was done。 And it was a stretch for me。 The rest of it， were talks， that you can find on YouTube。 My advice to you would be: go to YouTube， search for his talks， and take notes。 TAKE NOTES。 。。。more

Charles T Munger is a nonagenarian billionaire who thinks with his head， and powerfully so。 This book has been sitting on my shelf for years， but I recently had the courage to pick it up。 It requires a decent amount of time investment as it is a fairly large book。 Here， Charlie documents his mental models which is heavily multidisciplinary notably in psychology， systems thinking， micro-economics etc。 Charlie is widely known as the right-hand man to another billionaire， Warren Buffet。
