I'll always remember him for this talk he gave on the Psychology of Human Misjudgement.

My notes from Poor Charlie's Almanack: The Wit and Wisdom of Charlie Munger turned into maxims:
1. Find a simple idea and take it seriously.
2. Good ideas are rare. When you find one bet heavily.
3. Humans have been writing down their best ideas for 5,000 years. Read them.
4. Avoiding stupid mistakes is more important than being smart.
5. Don’t work with anyone you don’t admire.
6. Don’t sell anything you wouldn’t buy.
7. Avoiding a bad habit is easier than breaking a bad habit.
8. Work on your best idea. Don't diversify
9. Incentives rule everything around you. Look for them.
10. Great businesses are built by going ridiculously far in maximizing or minimizing one or a few things. Think Costco.
11. Learning is changing behavior.
12. Do the unpleasant tasks first.
13. Charlie has read hundreds of biographies. Do the same.
14. Stop multitasking. Concentrate.
15. Many hard problems are solved best when approached backwards.
16. Think of ideas as tools. When a better tool comes along use it.
17. Clip your business and personal expenses. Small leaks sink big ships.
18. Make friends with smart dead people. Adam Smith, Darwin, Cicero, Ben Franklin —whoever interests you. Read their writing. Steal their ideas. They don’t need them anymore.
19. Don't confuse intelligence with invincibility.
20. Bad things will happen to you. It’s inevitable. When they do get up and keep going and remember the next maxim.
21. Self pity has no utility.
22. Find out what you are best at. Then pound away at it. Forever.
23. Only plays games where you have an edge.
24. Avoid mob rule. Avoid demagogues. Avoid dogma. Avoid bureaucracy.
25. Optimize for independence.
25. Use money to buy freedom.
26. Develop durability.
27. What do you have an *intense* interest in? Do that for money.
28. Self improvement has no end.
