The biography doesn’t enhance the character that is Charlie Munger (like other biographies may), but it does take the reader through his life thoroughly. Loved learning about his family, childhood, time as a lawyer, early (pre-Buffett) investing years, and Berkshire years. The chapters on sees candy, blue chip stamps and Salomon Brothers were particularly interesting.

I must note that Munger is my idol, so perhaps my rating of this book is colored by that fact.

I recommend to anyone interested in polymaths, investing, transactional law, and learning about a fulfilled life.

A great book about a unique yet intelligent character. There are multiple anecdotes throughout the book about Munger's personal and professional life, of which some are more interesting than others. But, anyone who reads the book will find value from a long life that has resulted in incomprehensible success and subsequent wisdom. Munger's ability to give back through charitable donations and by sharing his wisdom is truly admirable.

Charlie is one of the most incredible Humans to have walked on this planet, however the book itself is merely decent.

Một cuốn sách hiếm hoi về một nửa của Berkshire. Một cuộc đời đầy thăng trầm nhưng cũng đầy trí tuệ. Munger bắt đầu có thăng tiến vượt bậc khi ở tuổi 35. Nói cách khác, lúc ấy, ngoài kinh nghiệm và tư duy, thứ ông có là 2 bàn tay trắng. Điều này an ủi mình thực sự. Những ngày tháng gần đây, có những lúc cảm thấy bất an, liệu mình bắt đầu có bị chậm không? Không, không đâu. Quả cầu tuyết này của mình sẽ trở nên khổng lồ giống như của Munger và Buffett vậy.
