Summary

Richard J. Connors organizes selections from Warren Buffett’s shareholder letters around business and management topics. The collection includes company culture, governance, executive pay, risk, communication and acquisitions. It presents Buffett’s words in a topical selection; it is not a new memoir written by Buffett.

Why read it Our view

Use the company sections to compare ownership, governance and pay decisions. Chapters on Nebraska Furniture Mart, GEICO and General Reinsurance put these questions in real acquisitions. The personal-investing chapter is a separate part of the collection, rather than the reason it belongs on a founder shelf.
