But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Publisher's Summary
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.

Good, but... one major annoyance
What made the experience of listening to Charlie Munger the most enjoyable?
The story itself is great, informative and insightful.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Charlie Munger?
Detailing how Munger draws from other disciplines to help shape strategies. I'm a sucker for a good analogy.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
The biggest downside was the constant footnote references for the quotes. "Charlie Munger, Westco Annual Meeting, 1994", ... that broke up the pace of the story and ideas.
Any additional comments?
Cut out the footnote references in the performance. Add a PDF for the Berskshire math section.

Quote references will drive you crazy!
Interesting book ruined by the constant references to the date and place of every single quote. We KNOW all the quotes are by Munger and whether it was in the Berkshire annual report or at a Harvard lecture is completely irrelevant. It just spoils the flow of the story. What a pity.

Derivative
You would think that a book with Charlie Munger's name in the title would have at the very least new insights into what influenced his investing philosophy. Perhaps there would even be a discussion of how he influenced Warren Buffett's thinking, and vice versa. Of course this would require interviewing the subject and delving into primary source material, which appears not to have been done. Instead the work trots out quips and quotes, which most value investors have heard many times before, with the authors commentary.

I've read the book and understand that it is a collection of quotes strung together to paint an overall picture of the man we all know as Charlie the great. But, I found myself losing the story-flow because of all the citations when listening. i cannot offer a solution because of the way the book was written, but it was a tough listen.

Would you try another book from Tren Griffin and/or Fred Stella?
No. Not in a million years.
What character would you cut from Charlie Munger?
The pages.
Any additional comments?
The narration is horrible, the content is bland, and there's literally no information in this books. It feels like I've been scammed out of the time I spent trying to listen to any of this.
Please, do yourself a favor, and purchase Poor Charlie's Almanack -- which was written by Charlie Munger.

The content is decent, the way it is presented...not so much
If it weren't for the constant citations throughout the book it would be a much more pleasant listen/read. Literally every other sentence is cited. Can't these be saved for the end? It makes the reading/listening process twice as long plus sidetracks your train of thought while trying to learn. Decent content, poorly presented.

Were these quotes useful to you?
More useful to you if I add several sentences of my own commentary before offering another banal quote from a great businessman? Then buy this book.
Author really lost credibility when he started to introduce quotes from the manifestly terrible teacher, poor investor, but great promoter, Nicolas Taleb.
Better solution than this book? The original munger transcripts of speeches and writings. This book was a waste of time for both the author and the reader.

An ok book - perhaps better to read.
The content of the book is good and the messages being delivered behind the content is very important. But quite frankly, to hear the constant delivery of quotations of various people ('blah blah blah.' Charlie Munger. US Business School. 1998.) gets pretty tiresome after a couple of chapters. Also, I wasn't too keen on the delivery - very dry and almost robotic - which exacerbates my dislike of the constant quotes. Just because a book is about business and investing, doesn't mean it can't be delivered without any enthusiasm! In my opinion, one might be better off reading this in book format.

Interesting but...
Lesser known personality and thus highly interesting to investigate in that he is an important influence yet less visible in the success of Berkshire Hatthaway. However the book is so admirative of Mr Munger that it makes for a very complaisant review. The sequence of quotes from Mr Munger appears to seek to spell genius at every corner yet the reality is surely more complex.

“Always take the high road, it’s far less crowded.
“In my whole life, I have known no wise people who didn’t read all the time – none, zero.” Charlie Munger
The most valuable asset that a person holds is their mindset.
Charlie Munger is a worldly wise individual with the curiosity to learn and grow everyday. He is reflective and uses his mistakes as a foundation to learn and improve.
Charlie places much importance on reading and learning as does Warren Buffett. This book takes us on a journey through the mindset and perspective of one of the richest men in the world.
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie! What a guy!

Entertaining enough, but somewhat shallow.
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.

Worthwhile
Good intro for novice value investors and worthwhile recap for seasoned ones, and especially for fans of Charlie Munger.

Get this if you only want list of Charlie's quotes
Would you try another book written by Tren Griffin or narrated by Fred Stella?
Probably not
Would you ever listen to anything by Tren Griffin again?
Probably not
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Charlie Munger?
I'll cut the thorough explanation on Graham's Intelligent Investor. I will read Graham's book if I want to know about it in details.
Any additional comments?
This book mostly contains list of quotes by Charlie Munger from various sources, followed by 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th person account about the quote. I didn't think that the writer ever interview Charlie at all. Very disappointing. If want other people's opinion or interpretation about what Charlie might say/mean, I can easily get it else where or even on the net. And I don't need the writer's interpretation about what Charlie might mean.

Excellent
Good summary of value investing of Buffet and Munger. Clearly communicated. Easy to follow. Would like to read it as well and make a few notes.

The other side
After reading “The Warren Buffett Way” I was interesting in hearing more about Charlie.
Definitely worth the listen, would have liked to hear more about his upbringing and childhood.

A bunch of quotes
Not bad but just a bunch of quotes from Charlie. Interesting enough but didn't really get into anything much, just scraped the surface.

Book of Quotes
Perhaps I had the wrong expectation going into this book. It is more or less a series or Munger quotes with the author elaborating a little on each. Not the comprehensive review of his investment history and thesis I was hoping for.
