Excellent book. Warren Buffett made billions by investing money in a rational way.

This book introduces you to Warren Buffet's life and his way of investing. For anyone who follows WB or his investing ideology, this would make an interesting read.

Some tremendous nuggets of wisdom from the worlds greatest investor. I stopped many times throughout this book to ponder a witty comment and found many times something deeper than what appeared at the surface. Many of us would do ourselves good if we simplified our way of thinking. The world often tells us we need more sophistication, a special genius or knowledge in order to become successful. Rather Warren Buffett has found and proved that common sense and sound principles make us more the genius.

If you read this take the time to stop and investigate his comments and think about your own intellectual framework. Are you makings things to complex and sophisticated?

Although written in a more "Warren quotes and wits" kind of way, rather than as a non-fictional story or biography of a great man, Warren Buffett Speaks offer great insights to a financial master mind.

I also find it a great companion alongside reading the much heavier "The Snowball" by Alice Schroeder to quickly gain an understanding of Warren Buffett.

"Boy, if he doesn't give capitalism a good name, who does?"
Benjamin C. Bradlee, remarking on Buffet's honesty and philanthropy, in a television documentary on Buffet on The Biography Channel (2006)

As an audiobook, it becomes quite boring. Especially if you've read a lot on Buffett before, because it doesn't present anything new but merely quotes famous sayings by or about him. As a book to put by your bedside (or why not by the toilet?) I think it would make for great reading, one short sequence at a time. Buffett is a master of enlightening one-liners after all.

A very good compilation.

well articulated, decently penned, Thanks to Janet Celesta Lowe,
I recommend this book to all those people who wish to work towards understanding Buffet's Investment fashion and his general perspective about living life in a less fussy and more productive manner,

A captivating glimpse into the mind of one of the most admired figures in finance. As a fan of Warren Buffett, I found this book to be a treasure trove of valuable insights and life lessons. It beautifully captures his wit, wisdom, and investment philosophy through a collection of his quotes and interviews. While it doesn't offer in-depth analysis or groundbreaking revelations, it's an engaging read for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of Buffett's principles and a worthy addition to the library of a Buffett enthusiast.

this book is well put together I recommend this book to people who want to work towards understanding Buffet's Investment fashion and his perspective about living life in a less fussy and more productive way.His book should be a must read for every business minded student and anyone else that wants to understand how money works.

In a world where the billionaires seem to be expanding their power and influence and exhibiting a lack of concern for the rest of the world, Warren Buffett is a breath of fresh air exception. He has clearly stated that most of his fortune will be given away and he had made what is for the uber-wealthy some rather unusual statements. He is on the record as saying that short term capital gains (less than a year) should be very heavily taxed (over 90%) in order to strongly encourage investors to invest on a more long-term basis. He has also lamented that his secretary pays a higher rate of taxes on her income than he does.
Buffett’s investment strategy is well known and he has repeatedly stated it publicly. He examines a company, looks for long-term potential earnings and invests to hold for the long-term. That strategy has served him very well, the holdings of his investment firm have dramatically increased over the decades.
That strategy is articulated again in this book, so the wisdom part in the title is a given precondition. However, the inclusion of wit in the title is justified, Buffett demonstrates that he keeps his success in perspective and does not hesitate to accept and acknowledge what he has done wrong in the past. He also gives credit to others and some of his lines are pretty funny. It is hard to picture many of the other billionaires coming up with jokes of this caliber.
While the book is positive in the treatment of Buffett, it does not come anywhere close to being laudatory. It is a quick and very satisfactory read, well worth the effort to learn a sound investment strategy.

For me, this was just tedious, painful even, to get through. Of course, if you are looking for investment advice, there are some good nuggets here, but generally, Ugh. Like taking marriage advice from someone divorced three times is what I felt this was when discussing most anything outside money. Gave myself permission to just scan the last 80 pages or so...
