Excellent source book for Buffettalia. Probably more detail than most need on his personal life but nevertheless of interest. The man stands for the long term value investing which is a lesson for us all.
This is not only a well-written and engaging book about the life of the billionaire investor Warren Buffett, it's an investment in your financial education. Weaved into the narration of the events in Warren's life is a priceless collection of his thoughts, conclusions, and ideas about business and investing. If you're paying attention, you will find in this book some priceless mentoring on the accumulation of wealth from someone who has actually done it.
You have to read it. It's very interesting reading about his life since his childhood until nowadays; and how he has created an empire.
Schroeder writes in exquisite detail, sometimes leaving one wondering why we need to know all the names and details she lists. When asked the most contributing factor to his success, his answer was 'Focus' (Ironically, his good friend Bill Gates, also listed the same reason).If you're looking for Buffett's investment style, this isn't the best piece.
The book is unique among other Buffett biographies in that it was personally approved; Buffett granted her unlimited interview time with himself and family. Through this access, Schroeder gives an inside account of his interesting personal and business life.Through the book, we learn the lessons and experiences that made Warren who he is.
In 'The Snowball' Alice Schroeder writes a deeply intimate account of Warren Buffett's life. We find the same secrets we do in all wealthy men-- saving, investing, and the benefits of compound growth.
By the end of each section, we see trials that would metabolize into his personality. Consistently ranked as one of the richest men in the world, many people scratch their head curious to how a simple Midwesterner could ascend to such heights.
It also isn't the shortest (well over 800 pages). Still, no Buffett biography can come close for those looking for a thorough and complete account of the legendary investor.
An Introduction that takes you to the current life of Multi Billionaire Warren Buffett which depicts his life style,then starts from his early childhood covering all of his interests as a kid to his vision as a young adult. From there the book takes you on the journey of how his conglomerate was built Berkshire Hathaway Inc, his stock trading and acquisition philosophy and his business perspective. there's a lot to talk about here. Overall I highly recommend this book, after reading it for the second time it became my bible on business.
