Excellent book, especially for investing enthusiasts, and not only! The book describes Warren’s simple and clear philosophy on investing and management.
This book has been on my list, primarily because I am interested in WB's success. I found it interesting and I found sound advice that is relevant to my current goals.
I thought this book was worth the read and had some good insights. While I don't believe in the entitlement mentality, Buffett made one of the best arguments I've heard for the redistribution of wealth. He believes that society creates the environment where certain talents have more value. Those same talents in a different society could be worthless (i.e. being good at basketball can make you lots of money, but being a good teacher or nurse doesn't give you that same money potential in our current society). Following this train of thought, the society that makes a certain talent valuable has some ownership in that value.
Here's a portion of a Buffett quote that was further expanded in this book:
Take me as an example. I happen to have a talent for allocating capital. But my ability to use that talent is completely dependent on the society I was born into. If I'd been born into a tribe of hunters, this talent of mine would be pretty worthless. I can't run very fast. I'm not particularly strong. I'd probably end up as some wild animal's dinner.
Was an easy read, though maybe not terribly memorable in the Buffettology fray. Author fawned over Buffett and Munger - I guess understandable, but those parts were not great return on investment.
