About this listen

 #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “The most authoritative portrait of one of the most important American investors of our time.”—Los Angeles Times

“Even people who don’t care a whit about business will be intrigued. . . . A side of the Oracle of Omaha that has rarely been seen.”—Time (Five Best Nonfiction Books of the Year)

A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post; People; Financial Times; Businessweek; Janet Maslin, The New York Times; Publishers Weekly

Warren Buffett is one of the most respected men in the world. But the legendary Omaha investor has never written a memoir or offered a glimpse into his intensely private life. Here, at last, he gives unprecedented access to his work, opinions, struggles, triumphs, follies, and wisdom.

This complete biography of the man known everywhere as “the Oracle of Omaha” was written by highly respected former financial analyst and business writer Alice Schroeder with the cooperation of Buffett himself, who gave her thousands of hours of his own time as well as complete access to his wife, children, friends, and business associates—and his files. The result is the fullest exploration of his philosophy of life we will ever have. Here are the principles and ideas that made Buffett astoundingly wealthy, enriched the lives (and bank accounts) of those who adopted them, and created the most fascinating American success story of our time.©2008 Alice Schroeder; (P)2008 Books on Tape Business Entertainment & Celebrities Professionals & Academics Celebrity Stock Banking Investing Biography Inspiring Funny Money Business Biography

Warren Buffett is an amazing individual. A person I admire. Although it seems he didn’t like adventure (visiting different countries, trying new foods, new experiences) he was amazing at what he did which was knowing everything he could about business and money. Susie was a great compliment to Warren and I really enjoyed the book. Great read!

C'est vraiment agréable comme livre.

Sa vie me fait souvent penser à la mienne.

Ça declenche vraiment beaucoup de beaux souvenirs de mon passé.

Vu qu'il y a tellement de choses similaires. Ça devient même bizarre.

C'est vraiment un chef-d'oeuvre pour qui est curieux de savoir plus sur l'histoire de l'homme qui a changé complètement comment on investi aujourd'hui.

On commence à écouter et on ne peut jamais arrêter. Même dans l'auto.

C'est viciant.

On est transporté dans son univers, dans son monde.

C'est vraiment intéressant de savoir comment les gens vivaient dans ce temps-là.

Je ne pense pas que j'achèterais des bracelets en or pour survivre à la chute du dollar. Mais c'est intéressant de savoir les méthodes que les gens utilisaient auparavant durant l'économie.

Chacun ses méthodes. En autant que ça fonctionne.

Je ne capote pas vraiment sur la politique. Alors je n'ai pas aimé certains sujets.

C'est un livre incroyable que chaque investisseur devrait avoir dans sa bibliothèque.

Je n'ai absolument rien compris du chapitre 57. Alors j'ai passé au prochain.

Les chapitre 58 - 62 je les ai juste sautés. J'ai acheté ce livre pour comprendre plus Warren Buffet. Pas pour connaître sa femme.

Ensuite j'ai marqué le livre comme terminé.

Vraiment superbe

This book was well-written in narrating and exploring the life of the Oracle of Omaha. I liked that Kirsten Potter donned the different people in the book by changing the pitch of her voice, changing the way she pronounced things to really signify that it's another person talking, and showing the emotions of those people as well. Alice Shroeder did an amazing job detailing the life of Warren Buffett in an engaging and interesting way.

What a great biography!
