20 Book Recommendations from Billionaire Charlie Munger That will Make You Smarter
“In my whole life, I have known no wise people (over a broad subject matter area) who didn’t read all the time—none. Zero. You’d be amazed at how much Warren reads—and how much I read. My children laugh at me. They think I’m a book with a couple of legs sticking out.”
Munger, of course, is the billionaire business parter of Warren Buffett and the Vice Chairman at Berkshire Hathaway. If you’re looking for a book to read this summer, this list of books recommended by Munger is a great place to start.
1. Faraday, Maxwell, and the Electromagnetic Field: How Two Men Revolutionized Physics
https://bbs.pinggu.org/thread-3088895-1-1.html
" It’s a combination of scientific biography and explanation of the physics, particularly relating to electricity. It’s just the best book of its kind I have ever read, and I just hugely enjoyed it. Couldn’t put it down. It was a fabulous human achievement. And neither of the writers is a physicist."
2. Deep Simplicity: Bringing Order to Chaos and Complexity
https://bbs.pinggu.org/thread-3087201-1-1.html
"… it’s pretty hard to understand everything, but if you can’t understand it, you can always give it to a more intelligent friend."
3. Fiasco: The Inside Story of a Wall Street Trader
https://bbs.pinggu.org/thread-708718-1-1.html
"I remember reading this shocking book and thinking, holy *****. This book will make you sick."
4. Ice Age
"Of this book Munger said: “(The) best work of science exposition and history that I’ve read in many years!”"
5. How the Scots Invented the Modern World

"A lot of really important stuff like: the first modern nation, the first literate society, the ideas for (modern) democracy and free markets, all originated with the Scots."
6. Models of My Life
https://bbs.pinggu.org/thread-3124745-1-1.html
"An autobiography of Nobel laureate Herbert A. Simon, a remarkable polymath who more people should know about. In an age of increasing specialization, he’s a rare generalist — applying what he learned as a scientist to other aspects of his life. Crossing disciplines, he was at the intersection of “information sciences.” He won the Nobel for his theory of “bounded rationality,” and is perhaps best known for his insightful quote “A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention.” (Also part of five books that will change your life.)"
7. A Matter of Degrees: What Temperature Reveals about the Past and Future of Our Species, Planet, and Universe
https://bbs.pinggu.org/thread-3091666-1-1.html
" … a wide-ranging exploration of how the fundamental scientific concept of temperature is bound up with the very essence of both life and matter."
8. Andrew Carnegie
The definitive biography of an industrial genius, philanthropist, and enigma. At the meeting in May of this year, Munger also mentioned the Mellon Brothers as people to study.
9. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies
https://bbs.pinggu.org/thread-347124-1-1.html
A book recommended by Bill Gates and Charlie Munger? Gates said, the book “had a profound effect on the way I think about history and why certain societies advance faster than others.”
10. The Third Chimpanzee: The Evolution and Future of the Human Animal
"What is it about that two percent difference in DNA that has created such a divergence between evolutionary cousins? … renowned Pulitzer Prize–winning author and scientist Jared Diamond explores how the extraordinary human animal, in a remarkably short time, developed the capacity to rule the world … and the means to irrevocably destroy it."
11. Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion
https://bbs.pinggu.org/thread-719575-1-1.html
"A frequent and persistent recommendation from Munger. I believe he’s given away more copies of this book than any other. Here is a quick overview."
12. Living within Limits: Ecology, Economics, and Population Taboos
https://bbs.pinggu.org/thread-3090086-1-1.html
"While both books are exceptional, I actually prefer Hardin’s other book — Filters Against Folly."
13. The Selfish Gene
https://bbs.pinggu.org/thread-604165-1-1.html
"Dawkins explains how the selfish gene can also be a subtle gene. The world of the selfish gene revolves around savage competition, ruthless exploitation, and deceit, and yet, Dawkins argues, acts of apparent altruism do exist in nature. Bees, for example, will commit suicide when they sting to protect the hive, and birds will risk their lives to warn the flock of an approaching hawk."
14. Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller, Sr.
https://bbs.pinggu.org/thread-1181221-1-1.html
At 800 or so pages this is the perfect book for a week-long vacation. From humble beginnings to the height of great power Rockefeller did it all. I think you’ll find he has more in common with Marcus Aurelius than today’s billionaires.
Born the son of a flamboyant, bigamous snake-oil salesman and a pious, straitlaced mother, Rockefeller rose from rustic origins to become the world’s richest man by creating America’s most powerful and feared monopoly, Standard Oil. Branded “the Octopus” by legions of muckrakers, the trust refined and marketed nearly 90 percent of the oil produced in America.
15. The Wealth and Poverty of Nations: Why Some Are So Rich and Some So Poor
https://bbs.pinggu.org/thread-428703-1-1.html
A best-selling exploration of why some nations achieve economic success while others don’t. As you can imagine, it’s complicated.
16. The Warren Buffett Portfolio: Mastering the Power of the Focus Investment Strategy
https://bbs.pinggu.org/thread-490673-1-1.html
This book has been recommended by both Buffett and Munger on a few occasions.
17. Genome: The Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters
https://bbs.pinggu.org/thread-3090033-1-1.html
Science writer Matt Ridely unfolds the genome for us. Munger recommended in 2001.
18. Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In
https://bbs.pinggu.org/thread-630396-1-1.html
The book is one of the primary business texts in North America. So it shouldn’t surprise you that I was first introduced to this as part of my MBA program.
19. Three Scientists and Their Gods: Looking for Meaning in an Age of Information
What is the meaning of life? This book takes a look at the work and beliefs of three leading American scientists: Edward Fredkin, Edward O. Wilson and Kenneth Boulding.
20. Only the Paranoid Survive: How to Exploit the Crisis Points That Challenge Every Company
https://bbs.pinggu.org/thread-3091786-1-1.html
Grove gives us an inside account of how he, virtually overnight, changed the path of Intel forever.
