This is an amazing book. I really loved reading it. The way the authors have attended the meetings, taken notes and shared through this book is amazing. Their sheer act of attending the meeting year-after-year and taking rigorous notes is what great discipline is all about. Thank you for bringing this book out.

5 star review for University of Berkshire Hathaway: 30 Years of Lessons Learned from Warren Buffett & Charlie Munger at the Annual Shareholders Meeting via Amazon.com: Up close and personal perspective into minds that revolutionized investing and business

I���ve read every title covering Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger and I���ve come away with something from each one. That said, many can seem repetitive on subject matter and distant regarding Buffett. Daniel���s work is unique in these areas in that he���s followed Berkshire for decades and personally, or through his partner, recorded all anecdotes and lessons from 30+ annual meetings at Berkshire - the information is impressive even for a cult member like me. The organization and layout of the information is easy to follow and structured to easily find any specifics you may be looking for. What I found most engaging is the journey Daniel and Corey have taken alongside Berkshire as if they were passengers on the freight train Warren and Charlie conducted for the last half century - it���s this up close and personal perspective that differentiates University of Berkshire from its counterpart books. Daniel is no investing slouch himself, which you���ll find once you see the evidence in the book that Warren Buffett is a personal reader of his newsletters. I enjoyed the content about Berkshire but also the insight that the authors provided on said content. Do yourself a favor and read this one.

5 star review for University of Berkshire Hathaway: 30 Years of Lessons Learned from Warren Buffett & Charlie Munger at the Annual Shareholders Meeting via Amazon.com: Solid read!

While nowhere near as in-depth as reading Buffet's annual reports themselves, these meeting notes offer great insight into Buffet and Mungers investment strategies as well as their general mental framework and economic outlook. The repetitions in the book serve to drive home key points--"Just buy good businesses and hold them for the long term", etc. The chapters are short and sweet. The language is easy to read. Good footnotes complement the text and provide additional information. Overall a good, quick, simple read that tracks the growth of Buffet, Munger, and Berkshire Hathaway over a 30 year period. Highly recommended.

I just started reading this book and I am already enjoying it very much.

I only attended the past 4 BRK meetings. So I am humbled by 30 years of experience and note taking.

I wish I had started earlier.

5 star review for University of Berkshire Hathaway: 30 Years of Lessons Learned from Warren Buffett & Charlie Munger at the Annual Shareholders Meeting via Goodreads:

This book distinguishes itself in many ways from other similar efforts - notably by virtue of first hand accounting of the material. Few can claim the attendance record of the author. The context and commentary offered shed perspective on the material presented. Having read many other efforts in this "genre" I now make this my first recommendation to those embarking on the Buffet/Munger/Berkshire learning path. I also suggest leaning on University of Berkshire as a reference tool for context as history and market cycles continue to "rhyme."
