Book Reviews of Poor Charlie's Almanack: The Wit and Wisdom of Charles T Munger
Book Review: Should be titled "Me and my ego", by Charlie Munger
Summary: 3 Stars
This is not a bad book, but it doesn't deserve the 5 stars given it by the gushing fans in previous reviews. Most of what I found in the book I have seen elsewhere.
I was struck by Charlie's story about star businessman Jack Welch stating that he did not have any special skill or insight that would allow him to explain why one of Apple's ventures failed. Charlie holds that up as an exemplary example of the realistic humility of a superstar. And yet he proceeds to fill hundreds of pages with his own opinions on a variety of subjects that stray far from his own core competence, which seems to have been attaching himself remora-like to Warren Buffett.
