Review:If you are new to Charlie Munger or value investing this is a great and even a fun introduction.
As other reviewers have said if you are long time follower of Munger, Buffet or Graham you may find little new material here but still it’s a fine book and I’m surprised at the low ratings.
In my view no matter what your experience or skill level the Munger and friends quotations generously included throughout are well worth the ticket price. Further the information here is timeless an... Read more
Review:This book's vocabulary makes it very difficult to keep up with. However, you only pay 1/10 of what you get, this book is amazing. I recommend everyone at least try the book, knowledge is never a bad investment, but I also recommend you read it more than once. I would read this book once a year. Read more
Review:I wrote the original review of this book many years ago and with the release of the new edition I wanted to add a few comments. Over the years the book since the book was published I always keep a copy of it close by as it has served as THE quick reference source for me whenever I want to review a topic that Warren has covered in his letter to shareholders. For instance dividends at Berkshire has been a big topic of conversation over the last couple of years and when I wanted to review what he... Read more
Review:This book will change the way you think! "Shifting the Monkey" has become one of my favorite phrases. I used to have "monkeys" throughout all aspects of my life. Now I put those monkeys in their place! It's thrilling to feel the success of monkey shifting! I even keep track of my shifts on a daily basis.
The process is addicting...... the book is phenomenal........ and your life will change! Read more
Review:Outstanding, but read at your own risk!! This booklet is not for the faint of heart & may devastate your personal retirement plans. But who wants to sit back & "take it easy" while serving our Lord & Savior in the midst of spiritual warfare? We can 'rest' when we get to heaven. A must read!! Ray H Read more
Review:More valuable than other collections of diet recipes or methods, Penn gives you the insights to navigate past peer pressure and our own preconceived notions of status-quo diet and nutrition to make substantial, effective weight loss that (like Penn) has staying power. Read more
Review:As a former NCAA division 1 tennis coach, I particularly appreciate the George Boiardi story. Here is a guy who set the example each day for selflessness, work ethic, and serving others. Readers beware that after learning about George and the life he led, it will be high time to put the excuses away forever.
A great book with actionable items for becoming a better teammate and creating a high performance culture. Read more
Review:Richard H. Thaler traces in this book the origin and the making of 'Behavioural Economics', where core premises of the classical economic theory and generally accepted hypotheses in matter of finance and markets, are questioned.
Core premises
Core premises of economic theory are that people choose by optimizing (rational choices) and that supply equals demand (price equilibrium). These premises assume that economic decisions are taken by a selfish and rational agent: the homo economicu... Read more
Review:The first chapter of Thomas Woods's Meltdown is called "The Elephant in the Room." Dr. Woods, of course, is referring to the Federal Reserve -- a subject that merits just a few superficial mentions in Thomas Sowell's Economic Facts and Fallacies, all in reference to the Fed's statistical arm. In other words, the greatest economic fallacy of all -- that the Fed is a free-market institution that doesn't perve... Read more
Review:Arguably the greatest economist of the 20th century makes complex concepts readily understandable. Easy to read, yet not "light reading," Friedman's book makes the basics of Political Economy understandable for even the novice.
Whether your interest is liberty, economics, or politics, this book is a must read.
I always enjoy watching a debate between someone who has read this book (or one of his others) with people who have not. Absolute slaughter...
Most highly recommended. Read more
