Summary
Alice Schroeder traces Warren Buffett’s childhood, investing career and personal relationships, drawing on extensive access to Buffett, his files, family and associates. The biography connects the growth of his wealth and business with his habits, values and the strain that work could place on family life.
Why read it Our view
Useful for examining what a long business career demands beyond a single successful deal. The biography gives room to consider patience, the ability to revise an approach, and the personal costs of sustained work. Read those themes as questions about your own choices, rather than a formula for repeating Buffett’s results.
