Summary

Will there ever be another investing book quite like this? It's unlikely.

University of Berkshire Hathaway is a remarkable retelling of the lessons, wisdom, and investment strategies handed down personally from Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger to shareholders during 30 years of their closed-door annual meetings.

From this front row seat, you'll see one of the greatest wealth-building records in history unfold, year by year.

If you're looking for dusty old investment theory, there are hundreds of other books waiting to cure you of insomnia. However, if you're looking for an investing book that's as personal as it is revelatory, look no further.

Packed with Buffett and Munger's timeless, generous, and often hilarious wisdom, University of Berkshire Hathaway will keep serious investors listening late into the night:

  • Get unique insight into the thinking, strategies, and decisions- both good and bad - that made Buffett and Munger two of the world's greatest investors.
  • Understand the critical reasoning that leads Buffett and Munger to purchase a particular company, including their methods for assigning value.
  • Learn the central tenets of Buffett's value-investing philosophy "straight from the horse's mouth."
  • Enjoy Munger's biting wit as he goes after any topic that offends him.
  • Discover Buffett's distaste for "commonly accepted strategies" like modern portfolio theory.
  • See why these annual meetings are often called "an MBA in a weekend."

Lots of YouTube stuff

Small, funny, and good dig into the minds of greatest investors, a lot of these you can though find on YouTube if you prefer to hear the words from the starts themselves.

Excellent

I loved this book - it would have been 5 stars, but as an audiobook there are perhaps more numbers and stats than the reader (or at least, this reader) can meaningfully capture and make use of.

In spite of that, though, it is an enjoyable and insightful journey into the World and, more importantly, the thinking and mindset of Warren and Charlie.

After reading a few books on Warren Buffet, this was the one that inspired me to finally buy share in Berkshire Hathaway.

Good little book

This is a good little book about the anual meetings at Berkshire from 1985 to 2017.
It is best served as a story than anything else.

Well presented and convenient record of the annual talks and questions

This was a great way to hear what was said during the Berkshire Hathaway annual meetings, all in one collection, with various repetition removed. Very interesting and educational.

Surprisingly Enjoyable

I wasn't sure what to expect, but I know a little of Warren Buffett (and Benjamin Graham) and was interested to know more. This book was a lot more casual than I expected, but despite some repetition (which I think is true to Buffett's character) I couldn't wait to hear more. This isn't an instructional title, but there are lessons to be learned and insight to be gained. Or you can simply enjoy the story of a massive, real world success.
The narration was spot on for me. I did playback at 1.1 speed, but that is slower than the 1.3 to 1.5 I normally resort to.
Overall, for what it is, 5* all round.
